Let’s Make It Together

Prepare Blueberry Puree: In a small saucepan over medium heat, mash the blueberries until they break down (about 5-7 minutes). Let cool.
Prep the Baking Dish: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and sea salt.
Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together flour and salt; gradually add to wet ingredients until just combined.
Incorporate Blueberry Puree: Fold blueberry puree into the batter.
Bake: Pour batter into the prepared dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
Make & Apply Glaze: Combine powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze, drizzle over warm brownies.
Cut and Store: Once cooled, lift brownies out using parchment and cut into squares. Store in an airtight container.

Fun Ways to Customize It

Zesty Lemon Twist: Add the zest of one lemon to the brownie batter for a bright, zesty flavor that complements the blueberries beautifully.
Chocolate Chunk Delight: Fold in some dark chocolate chunks or chips for a more indulgent treat that harmonizes wonderfully with the fruity blueberry base.
Nutty Crunch: Toss in chopped walnuts or pecans for a delightful crunch and an added layer of flavor.
Creamy Vegan Option: Replace the eggs with flax eggs and the butter with coconut oil or a vegan alternative to make these brownies plant-based.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

Make Ahead: You can prepare the blueberry puree a day ahead to save time. Just store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to bake.
Storage: These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer freshness, keep them in the refrigerator.
Perfect Slices: For clean cuts, use a sharp knife dipped in warm water to slice through the brownies, ensuring you don’t pull up any crumbles.
Freezing: If you want to make a double batch (and I recommend you do!), you can freeze them. Just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and foil before freezing.
