Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • Egg replacer equivalent to 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Add-Ins

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with plant-based butter to ensure even baking and easy removal.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened plant-based butter and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the egg replacer and vanilla extract (natural) until fully combined, creating a glossy base for the batter.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and natural gelling agent in a separate bowl to eliminate lumps and ensure a velvety texture.
  4. Bring Wet and Dry Together: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently just until combined to avoid overmixing which can toughen the brownies.
  5. Add Blueberries and Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries and optional plant-based chocolate chips to distribute evenly throughout the batter without crushing the berries.
  6. Bake and Cool: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs remaining. Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing to maintain their fudgy texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better batter consistency.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep brownies soft and tender.
  • Gently fold in blueberries to prevent them from breaking and discoloring the batter.
  • Start checking baking time a few minutes early to avoid overbaking as oven temperatures vary.
  • Allow brownies to cool fully before cutting to keep slices intact.
  • Coating blueberries lightly in flour before folding helps keep them suspended in the batter.
  • To increase fudginess, reduce flour slightly and add an extra tablespoon of plant-based butter.
  • Flaxseed or chia seed mixed with water can be used as an alternative binder instead of egg replacer.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free blend.
