Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing excess paper to hang over the sides for easy removal.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter completely. Use 15-second intervals, stirring between each to ensure even melting.
- Whisk the sugar into the melted butter until well combined and slightly glossy. Allow the mixture to cool for 2-3 minutes to prevent scrambling the eggs.
- Add eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl to remove any lumps and ensure even distribution.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, which can make the brownies tough.
- Gently fold in half of the blueberries, reserving the remaining half for topping.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the remaining blueberries across the top of the batter, lightly pressing them in.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center - it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan for about 1 hour. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out and cut into 12 equal squares.
- For best flavor and texture, allow brownies to rest for an additional hour before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for smoother mixing and better texture.
- Don't Overmix: Gently fold ingredients to keep your brownies tender and fudgy.
- Parchment Paper Trick: The overhanging parchment makes removing and cutting brownies a breeze.
- Blueberry Distribution: Fold in half the blueberries and top with the rest for a beautiful, even spread.
- Toothpick Test: A few moist crumbs on the toothpick mean perfectly baked brownies - avoid overbaking!
- Cooling is Crucial: Let brownies cool completely for the best texture and cleanest cuts.
- Storage Hack: Keep in an airtight container to maintain moisture and freshness.
- Optional Upgrade: Consider a sprinkle of sea salt on top for an extra flavor dimension.
