Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until just incorporated.
Gently fold in the blueberries and chocolate chips (if using).

Variations
Nutty Twist – I like adding chopped walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
White Chocolate Version – Swapping dark chocolate chips for white chocolate creates a sweeter, creamier contrast.
Berry Mix – Mixing in raspberries or blackberries adds more fruity flavors.
Gluten-Free Option – Using a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well in this recipe.
Extra Fudgy – I slightly underbake them for an even gooier texture.
Storage/Reheating
Room Temperature: I store the brownies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Refrigeration: Keeping them in the fridge extends their freshness for up to a week.
Freezing: For long-term storage, I freeze them in a sealed bag for up to 3 months. I thaw them at room temperature before serving.
Reheating: A few seconds in the microwave makes them warm and gooey again.

FAQs

Conclusion
These blueberry brownies are the perfect way to combine rich chocolate with fresh, juicy berries. Whether enjoyed warm or chilled, they make a delicious treat for any occasion. I love how simple they are to make, yet they always impress with their unique flavor.
