Ingredients

Scale

Brownies

  • 1 cup fresh or thawed frozen blueberries
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Blueberry Puree: Blend the blueberries in a blender or food processor until smooth to create a vibrant berry puree.
  2. Cook the Puree: Pour the blueberry puree into a saucepan over low heat. Gently simmer while stirring occasionally until it reduces to about 1/2 cup. Remove from heat and allow it to cool completely.
  3. Prep the Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8×8 inch glass baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and sea salt, mixing thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  5. Add Blueberry Reduction: Fold the cooled blueberry reduction gently into the wet ingredients, ensuring the mixture remains even and smooth.
  6. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the brownies.
  7. Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool: Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the baking dish to firm up before glazing.
  9. Make Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, salt, and vanilla extract until the glaze is smooth and silky with no lumps.
  10. Apply Glaze: Spread the glaze evenly over the cooled brownies using a spatula or the back of a spoon. Allow the glaze to harden at room temperature before cutting.
  11. Cut and Store: Cut the glazed brownies into 16 equal squares. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate to extend freshness.

Notes

  • Use fresh or thawed frozen blueberries for the best results; avoid frozen blueberries straight from the freezer to prevent excess moisture.
  • Ensure the blueberry reduction is completely cooled before adding to the batter to avoid overcooking the eggs or affecting the texture.
  • Do not overmix the flour into the wet ingredients to keep the brownies tender and moist.
  • The glaze can be adjusted in thickness by adding more milk for a thinner consistency or more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container to maintain moisture and freshness.
