Discover how to make Glazed Blueberry Brownies, a rich, fudgy dessert packed with blueberries and a sweet glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen (thawed)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. First, prepare the blueberry puree by blending fresh or thawed blueberries in a blender or food processor until completely smooth. This should take about 1 to 2 minutes, and you'll want to ensure there are no lumps for a silky texture. Once blended, transfer the puree to a saucepan.
  2. Next, cook the blueberry puree over medium-low heat. Stir constantly for about 10-15 minutes until the mixture reduces to approximately 1/2 cup and thickens. You’ll know it’s ready when it coats the back of a spoon. Remove it from heat and allow it to cool completely.
  3. While the puree cools, preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare an 8x8 inch glass baking dish by lining it with parchment paper. This will prevent the brownies from sticking and make for easy removal later. Set the dish aside while you prepare the brownie batter.
  4. In a medium bowl, mix together the melted unsalted butter and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is incorporated, then add in the large eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk the mixture until it appears well combined and slightly glossy, which will take about 2 minutes.
  5. Now, fold the cooled blueberry reduction into the wet mixture, ensuring that the vibrant color and flavor are evenly distributed. The batter will take on a beautiful purplish hue, giving a hint of the delicious taste that awaits. Continue mixing until fully incorporated.
  6. Gradually add the sifted all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, stirring gently. You want to mix until just combined; overmixing can lead to tough brownies. The batter should be thick and cohesive, so scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are included.
  7. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to create a uniform layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes. The brownies are done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs clinging to it.
  8. Once baked, transfer the brownies to a wire rack to cool completely in the dish. This should take about 30-45 minutes. Letting them cool fully helps achieve that perfect, fudgy texture while you prepare the glaze in the meantime.
  9. To make the glaze, combine sifted powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and a tiny pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, adjusting the consistency with more milk if necessary. The glaze should be pourable but not too runny.
  10. Once the brownies are completely cool, spread half of the glaze over the surface, allowing it to drip slightly down the sides. After it hardens, which will take about 10 minutes, gently spread the remaining glaze on top and let this layer set as well.
  11. Finally, use a sharp knife to cut the brownies into 16 squares. Store any leftovers in an airtight container, ensuring they stay fresh and delicious for days. As you enjoy these Glazed Blueberry Brownies, savor the flavors and the satisfaction of creating a homemade treat!

Notes

  • Sift the Flour: Sifting flour helps to incorporate air, resulting in a lighter texture.
  • Do Not Overmix: Overworking the batter can lead to tough brownies. Mix gently just until the flour is incorporated to maintain that fudgy consistency.
  • Watch the Bake Time: Brownies continue to cook as they cool. To prevent overbaking, check for doneness a few minutes before the suggested time—look for a toothpick with a few moist crumbs.
  • Cool Completely: Allow brownies to cool fully before glazing. This ensures a delightful, creamy glaze that won’t slide off or soak into the brownies.
  • Store Properly: Keep the brownies in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
