Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup quality cocoa powder
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruits

  • 1 cup fresh mixed berries (raspberries, blueberries, strawberries)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Rinse the berries gently and pat them dry to avoid extra moisture. Line an 8×8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Make the Chocolate Base: Melt the unsalted butter together with the cocoa powder in a saucepan or microwave, stirring until smooth and glossy to create a rich chocolate foundation.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until pale and slightly fluffy, ensuring a perfect texture.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients and Batter: Gently fold the all-purpose flour and salt into the chocolate mixture. Then combine this with the wet ingredients until just incorporated, avoiding overmixing to keep the brownies tender.
  5. Fold in the Mixed Berries: Carefully fold the fresh mixed berries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without crushing them to maintain bursts of fruit throughout.
  6. Bake Until Set: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting to let flavors settle and ensure easier slicing.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm berries to avoid sogginess.
  • Do not overmix the batter to prevent tough brownies.
  • Line the pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean edges.
  • Let brownies cool fully before slicing for cleaner cuts.
  • Test doneness with a toothpick; moist crumbs are ideal.
