These are delicious, fudge-y brownies with bursts of blueberries and mint. Since they are sugar-free and dairy-free, they are also a bit guilt-free too.

Serves: 16
Ingredients
For the blueberry compote:
  • 1 pint blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons chopped mint
For the brownies:
  • ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
  • ½ cup coconut oil
  • ¾ cup honey
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
For the blueberry compote:
  1. In a saucepan, add the blueberries and honey. Heat on medium-high until it begins to bubble.
  2. Turn heat to medium-low. Stir and smash berries every few minutes for about 10-12 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chopped mint. Transfer to a mason jar and store in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it.
For the brownies:
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees. Grease an 8x8” baking pan, line with parchment paper, and grease again.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder.
  3. In a saucepan on low heat, melt the unsweetened chocolate and coconut oil.
  4. Whisk in the honey. Let it cool for a few minutes and transfer to a medium bowl.
  5. Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract.
  6. Fold in the dry ingredients until combined.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Add spoonfuls of the blueberry-mint compote. Run a knife or toothpick through the batter to create a marbled effect.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting and serving.
Notes
The first time around I used basil and the second time I used mint. I loved the outcome of both, so feel free to swap out the mint!
