🌿 Ingredients

For the Brownie Batter

200 g dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa)
150 g unsalted butter
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
1/2 tsp salt

For the Forest Berry Mix

1 cup mixed forest berries (fresh or frozen)
Examples: raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries
1 tbsp flour (to lightly coat the berries)

👩‍🍳 How to Make Forest Berry Brownies

1. Prepare the Chocolate Mixture

Melt the dark chocolate and butter together using a double boiler or microwave. Stir until completely smooth and glossy. Let it cool slightly.

2. Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until slightly foamy. This will help your brownies stay soft and fudgy.

3. Combine the Dry Ingredients

Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. This prevents lumps and ensures a silky brownie texture.

4. Bring the Batter Together

Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Then, gently fold in the dry ingredients until everything is well combined.

5. Add the Forest Berries

Toss the berries with 1 tbsp of flour (this helps them stay evenly distributed in the batter).
Fold them gently into the brownie mixture.

6. Bake

Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F).
Line a brownie pan with baking paper.
Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, depending on whether you prefer fudgy or cake-like brownies.
Let it cool before slicing for clean edges.

🥰 Tips for the Best Forest Berry Brownies

Use quality chocolate for a richer flavor.
If using frozen berries, do not thaw—add directly to prevent extra moisture.
For extra decadence, sprinkle chocolate chips on top before baking.
Slight underbaking is the secret to the perfect fudgy texture.
