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.
