Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa), chopped
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free version)
  • 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather and measure all your ingredients. If using frozen berries, thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture affecting the batter.
  2. Melt Chocolate and Butter: Gently melt the dark chocolate and butter together using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  3. Mix Sugar and Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk the sugar and eggs together until smooth and slightly pale to give the brownies a nice lift and sweetness.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Slowly add the melted chocolate and butter mixture to the sugar and egg mixture, stirring continuously to create a smooth, velvety batter.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the brownies tender.
  6. Incorporate the Berries: Fold the mixed berries gently into the batter to distribute fruit evenly without breaking them up too much.
  7. Bake: Pour the batter into a lined baking pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting to preserve their fudgy texture and enhance the berry flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh or properly thawed and drained berries to prevent soggy brownies.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender, airy texture.
  • Choose high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa for best flavor.
  • Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner edges.
  • Check for doneness early; brownies continue to cook while cooling.
