Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1½ cups Blueberries, fresh or frozen (thawed)
  • 10 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
  • 1¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour, sifted

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ⅛ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Blueberry Puree: Blend the blueberries until smooth to create a fresh puree for the batter.
  2. Cook the Puree: Pour the blueberry puree into a saucepan over medium-low heat. Gently simmer, stirring constantly until it reduces to about 1/2 cup. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
  3. Prep the Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8 glass baking dish with parchment paper and set it aside for the batter.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar. Stir in eggs, vanilla extract, and sea salt until the mixture is uniform in color and smooth.
  5. Fold in Blueberry Reduction: Gently fold the cooled blueberry reduction into the wet ingredients to incorporate the fruity flavor evenly.
  6. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the sifted all-purpose flour to the wet mixture, stirring carefully until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake on the middle rack for 35-40 minutes, checking at 30 minutes. The brownies are done when the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Make & Apply Glaze: Mix together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and silky. Spread half of the glaze over the completely cooled brownies. Once the glaze has hardened, spread the second half evenly on top and allow to harden before slicing.
  9. Cut and Store: Cut the brownies into 16 equal squares. Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Use fresh or thawed frozen blueberries for the best results.
  • Ensure the blueberry reduction is cooled completely before folding into the batter to prevent curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to maintain a tender crumb.
  • The glaze can be adjusted for consistency by adding more milk for a thinner glaze or more powdered sugar for a thicker topping.
  • Store brownies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
