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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
