Double Blueberry Brownies. Dark Chocolate Brownies with blueberries and almonds. Blueberries cooked to a compote in the wet and blueberries added with chocolate chips in the batter. Vegan Brownie Recipe. Easily made gluten-free. Pin this post for later!
Loads of gorgeous juicy blueberries in the house this summer = Blueberries in brownies!
These brownies have blueberries in the wet as a compote As well as whole fresh blueberries folded into the brownie batter! Its a chocolate brownie + blueberry muffin + decadence all rolled into one. Depending on the moisture content of the berries, the brownies can turn out caky if the compote is not cooked long enough. Cook the compote to thicken, melt chocolate in it, fold in the dry, drop into a brownie pan and bake. Cool, slice, serve with vegan ice cream of choice. I served these with So delicious mocha almond fudge. mmm, so good! The brownies get fudgier and blueberrrier after sitting for a few hours. Use any seasonal berries or cherries of choice for variation. And since it is warm, don’t forget the vanilla ice cream on top while attending to the puffball named chewie.

Blueberry Brownies
Ingredients
Wet:
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/3 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar , or brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp flax seed meal, optional
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup loaded cup vegan dark chocolate , or vegan semi sweet chocolate chips. About 2.5 oz
- 3 Tbsp oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup blueberries
Instructions
- Prepare your brownie pan by lining with parchment or greasing. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F / 180ºc.
- Add water, blueberries and sugars to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Simmer until all the blueberries break apart and the mixture starts to thicken (about 5 to 6 mins). You can use a spatula to mash the berries so they cook through.
- Take off heat and Cool the mixture for a minute or so. Add the flax meal and chocolate and mix until the chocolate melt. Add the oil and vanilla and mix to combine. Let the mixture cool further to until warm to touch.*
- Meanwhile, mix the flours, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a bowl until well combined. Add the chocolate chips and blueberries and mix.
- Add the dry to the wet and mix until just about combined. Drop the thick batter into the prepared brownie pan. Press the batter into the pan using a spatula or oiled hands. Press in 2 tbsp or more of chocolate chips or slivered almonds on top.
- Bake for 20 to 22 minutes. Check with a toothpick an inch from the edge. the center might be liquidy but the toothpick from the edge should come out clean or not liquid.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool on the cooling rack for another 10 minutes before slicing.Serve warm with vegan ice cream of choice

Made these today and whooooa- best brownies EVER!! I topped them with more blueberries instead of chocolate chips or almonds, and this gave them a bit of an acid touch that goes well with the chocolate. Amazing recipe, thank you so much!
woo-hoo!! look at you go girl
OMG these are SO GOOD. I also loved the taste of the unbaked dough- I am tempted to just turn these into no-bake brownie bites next time! But seriously, bravo, delicious recipe!
yay! awesome! yes you can make them into no bake brownie bites or balls!
Hi Richa, I’d love to make these and share them but one of the peeps I’m baking for has a nut allergy. I was debating subbing the almond flour out (and making them gf) but it’ll lose some structure and depth of flavour. Any ideas – coconut flour (not sure if that’s a good flavour dimension to add lol). Would love your thoughts- thx!!
thats too many changes 🙂 Try this one https://fettabbau-trim.today/2014/10/coconut-flour-brownies-vegan-gluten-free-recipe.html%3C/a%3E and swirl in the blueberry compote into the batter before baking. coconut is great with blueberries
Oh awesome, thank you! Would you use all the wet ingredients up to and including the flax seed or do you think just the coconut sugar would suffice?
oh yes, just the blueberries, water and coconut sugar is sufficient
I just made a double batch and these are the best vegan brownies yet! My daughter also has a nut and gluten allergy. Just to be clear on how to make this gf, sub the following for the dry in this recipe, and use the wet in this recipe to make this blueberry brownie gf?
3/4 cup + 2 Tbsp Tbsp coconut flour
3 Tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot or tapioca starch
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp pinch of salt
1/4 cup vegan mini chocolate chips or regular size chocolate chips to fold into the batter
Thank you!!!
They’re delicious! The blueberry really shines through. Terrific recipe!
yay!
I made this Blueberry Brownies yesterday. They are absolutely my favorites… !light not too sweet!… and the blueberry compote makes an amazing flavor!
Can add beet purée to make it red velvet.
yes you can use beet puree, the colore might not be too red though because of the dark brown from the cocoa. Add it instead of water with the blueberries and cook it till blueberries break apart and the beet smeels cooked, then use. B
Blueberries and brownies?! Sounds so good! Is it possible to make this without using refined sugars or maybe using the brown sugar and replacing the 1/2 cup of sugar instead?
yes use brown sugar instead. i generally use coconut or raw unrefined sugar.
