Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup natural cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp natural gelling agent

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (natural)

Main Add-ins

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup plant-based chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, natural cocoa powder, baking powder, and natural gelling agent until fully blended with no lumps.
  3. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine granulated sugar and vegetable oil until smooth. Add vanilla extract (natural) and apple cider vinegar (natural), then stir well to combine.
  4. Combine and Fold in Blueberries: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until combined. Carefully fold in fresh blueberries and plant-based chocolate chips if using, avoiding smashing the berries.
  5. Bake with Care: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and spread it gently. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until a toothpick near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  6. Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares to set the moisture and achieve the perfect fudgy texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe, firm blueberries for the best juicy bursts.
  • Do not over-mix to keep brownies tender.
  • Line your pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Start checking for doneness at 25 minutes as ovens vary.
  • Cool brownies completely before slicing to maintain fudgy texture.
