    Loads of gorgeous juicy blueberries in the house this summer = Blueberries in brownies!

    These brownies have blueberries in the wet as a compote As well as whole fresh blueberries folded into the brownie batter! Its a chocolate brownie + blueberry muffin + decadence all rolled into one. Depending on the moisture content of the berries, the brownies can turn out caky if the compote is not cooked long enough. Cook the compote to thicken, melt chocolate in it, fold in the dry, drop into a brownie pan and bake. Cool, slice, serve with vegan ice cream of choice. I served these with So delicious mocha almond fudge. mmm, so good! The brownies get fudgier and blueberrrier after sitting for a few hours. Use any seasonal berries or cherries of choice for variation.  And since it is warm, don’t forget the vanilla ice cream on top while attending to the puffball named chewie.

    Ingredients

    Wet:

    • 1/2 cup (125 ml) water
    • 1/3 cup (49.33 g) blueberries
    • 1/4 cup (40 g) coconut sugar or brown sugar
    • 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
    • 1 tbsp flax seed meal optional
    • 1/3 to 1/2 cup (60 to 90 g) loaded cup vegan dark chocolate or vegan semi sweet chocolate chips. About 2.5 oz
    • 3 Tbsp oil
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract

    Dry:

    • 1 cup (125 g) flour I use half wheat half white
    • 1/4 cup (28 g) almond flour
    • 1/4 cup (21.5 g) cocoa powder
    • 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) salt
    • 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) baking soda
    • 1/4 cup (45 g) vegan chocolate chips
    • 1/4 cup (37 g) blueberries

    Instructions

    • Prepare your brownie pan by lining with parchment or greasing. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / 180ºc.
    • Add water, blueberries and sugars to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Simmer until all the blueberries break apart and the mixture starts to thicken (about 5 to 6 mins). You can use a spatula to mash the berries so they cook through.
    • Take off heat and Cool the mixture for a minute or so. Add the flax meal and chocolate and mix until the chocolate melt. Add the oil and vanilla and mix to combine. Let the mixture cool further to until warm to touch.*
    • Meanwhile, mix the flours, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a bowl until well combined. Add the chocolate chips and blueberries and mix.
    • Add the dry to the wet and mix until just about combined. Drop the thick batter into the prepared brownie pan. Press the batter into the pan using a spatula or oiled hands. Press in 2 tbsp or more of chocolate chips or slivered almonds on top.
    • Bake for 20 to 22 minutes. Check with a toothpick an inch from the edge. the center might be liquidy but the toothpick from the edge should come out clean or not liquid.
    • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool on the cooling rack for another 10 minutes before slicing.Serve warm with vegan ice cream of choice

    Notes

    * The blueberry chocolate mixture should be warm as the chocolate starts to thicken when cooling, making it difficult to fold in the dry ingredients and making more of a doughy batter. The mixture should not be too hot else it will melt the chocolate chips in the dry.
    To make these gluten-free:
    Use 3/4 cup oat flour + 2 tbsp tapioca or corn starch + 1/3 cup almond flour instead of the 1 cup flour + 1/4 cup almond flour.

      Made these today and whooooa- best brownies EVER!! I topped them with more blueberries instead of chocolate chips or almonds, and this gave them a bit of an acid touch that goes well with the chocolate. Amazing recipe, thank you so much!

      Hi Richa, I’d love to make these and share them but one of the peeps I’m baking for has a nut allergy. I was debating subbing the almond flour out (and making them gf) but it’ll lose some structure and depth of flavour. Any ideas – coconut flour (not sure if that’s a good flavour dimension to add lol). Would love your thoughts- thx!!

              I just made a double batch and these are the best vegan brownies yet! My daughter also has a nut and gluten allergy. Just to be clear on how to make this gf, sub the following for the dry in this recipe, and use the wet in this recipe to make this blueberry brownie gf?

              3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp Tbsp coconut flour
              3 Tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot or tapioca starch
              1/4 tsp baking soda
              1/4 tsp baking powder
              1/8 tsp pinch of salt
              1/4 cup vegan mini chocolate chips or regular size chocolate chips to fold into the batter

              Thank you!!!

        yes you can use beet puree, the colore might not be too red though because of the dark brown from the cocoa. Add it instead of water with the blueberries and cook it till blueberries break apart and the beet smeels cooked, then use. B

      Do you have any suggestions for a flour mix without the oats? Almond, tapioca, arrowroot, buckwheat, cassova pretty much anything but oats 🙂

      Hi Richa,

      Thanks for sharing this great and easy recipes with us. I’m a bit confused, I’m buying the ingredients for this brownies tomorrow and I have to make this gluten free. I was just planning to use the 4 blend gluten free flour but, I saw you wrote to use a combination of flours? Which I’m on a budget and buying all of this flours can be a little pricey. Also, if I have to use a few different flours, do I mix them together and then use the amount you indicate on the recipe or, is it different? I’m sorry for all the questions, but I’m not a great baker but love sweets and we don’t have too many gluten free bakeries around.

      Thank you Richa.

        Hi Dee, you can use 1 cup of gf flour blend that you have instead of the 1 cup flour mentioned on the recipe. For almond flour, you can grind raw almond sin a blender.

        For a combination of flours, you want to use a combination of flours and starch. Mix them to make a bit more than the amount mentioned in the recipe. Add 3/4th of the amount mentioned (so in this recipe start with 3/4 cup flour blend) , mix ino the wet and add more flour if needed. Some gf flours can absorb more liquid, so you might need less flour.

          Hi again Richa,

          I made this recipe a few hours ago. Wow is delicious! and I’m not a good baker at all!! The bursting flavor of the blueberries with the chocolatey mixture, wow! Is this recipe in your book? This is the 2nd recipe I tried from your blog, the other one was the Chickpeas in Turmeric Peanut Butter Sauce, also truly amazing flavor and amazingly easy to make. On this brownies recipe, I used coconut oil and I used gluten free and almond flour ( I made the almond flour) didn’t use starch because the gluten free has starch and tapioca on it already. I used a different pan because that is what I had on hand. I used a 9×13 but I will definitely have to get the right pan for it. I do have a question, it came out fantastic and all, I am going to make it again but, it falls apart easily, I had to eat my pieceS 🙂 with a fork because it falls apart, what did I do wrong? Thank you again for your easy and quick recipes. I live with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia and your recipes are quick, easy, and healthy. Most of them have ingredients that help with inflammation. I just have to remember not to try anything when I’m going thru a “fibro fog” LOL, oh boy. 🙂

            Yay! so glad you loved these. Gluten-free can get crumbly easily if there isnt enough binding. For gf baking, you definitely want to add the flax meal, and underbake the brownies. I think the bigger pan would have over baked the brownies hence making them crumbly. Try a smaller pan, or a 1.5 times the recipes for the 9 by 13 pan. Bake only till a toothpick an inch from the edge comes out somewhat clean. The gooeyness of the brownie should hold it together.
