Blueberry Whole Wheat Brownies

Ingredients

• 1 cup Blueberries, Fresh Or Frozen
• 2 sticks Unsalted Butter
• 1-½ cup Light Brown Sugar, Packed
• ¾ cups Cocoa Powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• ½ Tablespoons Vanilla Extract
• 2 whole Eggs
• 1-½ cup Whole Wheat Flour

Preparation Instructions

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9 x 9 baking dish with canola oil.
– Cook berries in a saucepan over medium heat for about ten minutes to break down and reduce berries to a slightly thicker (not syrupy) juice. Set aside and cool.
– Either on the stove top or in the microwave, slowly heat butter and sugar until most of the sugar is dissolved. Let cool for several minutes.
– Add blueberry mush to butter/sugar mixture and whisk to combine.
– Add cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and vanilla extract and stir well. Add eggs one at a time and stir well to completely incorporate. (Either a stand mixer or hand power can be used for this)
– Add whole wheat flour and mix until just combined, but very few lumps (if any) remain.
– Bake for 30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean and the top is puffed and split.
