Fudgy Vegan Blueberry Brownies

These Vegan Blueberry Brownies are incredibly rich, fudgy and made with healthier ingredients! The perfect sweet chocolate treat for the spring and summer season. (Naturally sweetened, Gluten Free + Oil Free)

We all know strawberries and chocolate is a classic combo. Raspberries and chocolate? Another lovely pair. But have you tried blueberries and chocolate together?! If you haven't, you're totes missing out. This idea came to me when I was making a batch of my blueberry oatmeal cookies and threw in some chocolate chips on a whim. They came out even more delicious-- I mean how can they not? Chocolate make everything x100 better!

Then I started adding blueberries and chocolate chips into my waffles and pancakes... I'm not exaggerating-- this has become my ultimate favourite add-ins to pancakes and waffles.

Whats next? Brownies. I've been craving some fudgy brownies for some time now and had a pint of blueberry begging to be added in.

There are a couple essential things I look for in a brownie:

• Fudgy factor
• Chewiness
• Thickness
• Densness
• and most importantly... NOT being overly sweet (it ruins the incredible chocolate flavour IMO)

I find most recipes call for so much sugar it overrides the actual flavour of the chocolate. Since we're adding in blueberries, I didn't want the sweetness to overtake the lovely flavour of the blueberries as well.

So here are the ingredients that came together for the perfectly textures + flavoured vegan brownies:

• Soft Tofu + Tapioca Starch: Replaces the eggs, adds moisture and gives that super fudgy texture. The tapioca starch helps bind the brownie together so they're not overly crumbly.
• Maple Syrup: Adds natural sweetness and moisture.
• Coffee: If avoiding caffeine, use decaf or non dairy milk but it does add a incredible flavour!
• Cashew Butter + (Browned) Coconut Butter: The star players in making these super rich and decadent.
• Oat Flour: Adds that chewy texture.
• Cocoa Powder: Use high quality cocoa or cacao for best flavour.
• Chocolate Chips: Don't skip the chocolate, its what makes brownies.. brownies!!
• Blueberries: Pureed AND folded into the batter-- plus some for topping!

I also added baking soda to give it a slight lift but it can be omitted for a denser brownie.

How to Make Blueberry Brownies + Tips

These are just as simple to make as my flourless pumpkin brownies and black bean brownies: they're made right in the food processor!

Simply add the wet ingredients + portioned amount of blueberries first EXCEPT the coconut butter and blend until smooth. Blending the other wet ingredients first brings the mixture to room temperature so that when you go in and add the coconut butter, it won't firm up as much. I should also note that this recipe is easier to work with in a warmer kitchen (prevents the coconut butter from solidifying again).

Then add in the dry ingredients and blend until a thick batter forms. The batter is quite thick, so don't be alarmed! Fold in the blueberries and chocolate chips and then transfer the batter to a baking pan. Top with more blueberries and chocolate chips for extra deliciousness.

Bake them for about 16-19 minutes (they were perfect at 17 minutes for me all 3 times I've tested them). Go with 16 minutes for super fudgy brownies and 19 minutes for cake-y brownies.

The hardest part is waiting for them to cool but this is a must! If you cut into them too early, they'll fall apart.

These brownies would be perfect for BBQ's this spring and summer, or just as a healthy treat to have on hand for when you're craving something sweet and chocolate-y. They're delicious hot but they are incredible right out of the freezer as well! Think freezer fudge but with a nice dense bite to it. YUM.
