Ingredients for Blueberry Brownies
You need the following ingredients to make these fudgy brownies:
Butter – I use unsalted butter in these brownies; however, salted butter is okay too. Just omit the salt below.
Semi-sweet chocolate – Use good quality semi-sweet chocolate. You can use chips or chunks. I used chunks for the batter and scattered chips all over the top.
Granulated white sugar – For a richer flavor, use brown sugar, or a combination of 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar.
Eggs – Large eggs produce the best results.
Vanilla extract – For depth of flavor.
All-purpose flour
Cocoa powder – Use a good quality unsweetened cocoa powder.
Salt – The amount of salt added can be increased or decreased to suit your personal preferences.
Blueberries – I use fresh blueberries, but frozen ones are ok too. See the notes below!

How to make Homemade Blueberry Brownies
First, heat oven to 320°F. Line a square 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
Next, add the chopped butter and chocolate pieces to a large bowl. Microwave for a little bit at a time (about 30 seconds), stirring well in between, until the butter and chocolate have just melted. Alternatively, you could melt chocolate in a double boiler.
Add the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate mixture. Whisk until well combined.
Now, add the dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, and salt) to the wet ingredients and whisk the flour mixture in until combined. Fold in 3/4 cup of the chocolate chips and 1 cup of the blueberries.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Evenly top with the remaining chocolate chips and blueberries.
Bake the brownies for 35 minutes, or until the sides are firm and the center is almost firm but still slightly soft. Make sure it passes the toothpick test for doneness, though.
Allow the brownie to cool completely in the tin before removing and slicing. HINT: to get really nice slices for brownies, I like to use a plastic knife!
Recipe Notes
Whisking the brownie batter well after adding the sugar and eggs will help give the brownie that slight shiny, crackly top once baked. I prefer not to use an electric mixer for brownies so I don’t overmix the batter.
The extra chocolate chips and blueberries added to the top of the brownie are completely optional, and can be omitted if preferred. Other serving options include dusting them with powdered sugar after they’ve been baked, or serve them up with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
You can substitute milk or dark chocolate for semisweet chocolate if you prefer. You could even use white chocolate chips!
The batter is just combined once no white streaks of flour remain.
For a fudgier brownie, reduce the baking time slightly. For a firmer brownie, increase the baking time slightly.
FAQs
Can I use frozen blueberries in this recipe?
Yes you can! There is no need to defrost the blueberries before adding to the brownie batter first. Using frozen blueberries will add extra moisture to the brownie batter, so the baking time may need to be increased slightly.
How do I store leftover Blueberry Brownies?
Store these blueberry brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Can I freeze Brownies with Blueberries?
Yes, this recipe freezes well! Freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
