Ingredients
  

Brownie Batter
  • 10 tbsp unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 6 oz semisweet chocolate chopped
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.75 cup all-purpose flour spooned and leveled
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 0.25 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1.5 cups fresh blueberries divided

Equipment

  • 8x8 inch square baking pan
  • Parchment Paper
  • Medium saucepan
  • Mixing Bowls

Method
 

Prep
  1. Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides for easy lifting. Preheat oven to 350F.
Make the batter
  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt butter and chocolate together, stirring constantly until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool 5 minutes so you do not scramble the eggs.
  2. Whisk sugar into the warm chocolate mixture until fully combined. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each, then stir in vanilla. The batter should look thick and shiny.
  3. Add flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold with a spatula until just combined and no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in 1 cup blueberries, reserving the rest for topping. The batter will be thick and studded with fruit.
Bake
  1. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Press remaining 1/2 cup blueberries on top. Bake 32-36 minutes until the top is matte and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter. Cool completely in pan before lifting out and cutting into squares.

Notes

Frozen blueberries work in a pinch - do not thaw first or they will bleed purple streaks through the batter. For extra fudgy brownies, pull them from the oven when the center still jiggles slightly; they will set as they cool. Store covered at room temperature for 3 days or freeze up to 2 months.
