Blackberries and dark chocolate – honestly, is there anything better? This combo is neck-and-neck with my love for lemon and lavender. I found this recipe by Food Mouth and melted into the floor just looking at the photography. I needed to veganize it ASAP, and so there. That is what I did.

The Recipe
Oven: 350 F
Bake Time: 25-30 min
You will need:
- 1/2 cup Earth Balance butter
- 1/2 cup cane sugar
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 3/4 cup extra dark cocoa powder
- 2 flax eggs (or 2 tbs ground flaxseed + 6 tbs water)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 6 oz. container blackberries
To make:
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Line a 9-inch square pan with parchment paper or cooking spray
- Heat up Earth Balance butter, then add both sugars and dark chocolate powder – mix until smooth
- Add flax egg and vanilla, mix well
- Stir in your dry ingredients until combined
- Fold blackberries into brownie mix
- Add batter to pan and bake for 25-30 minutes (I like mine on the gooey side, so 25 was enough!!)
- Allow to cool before sinking your teeth into these suckers
This is probably one of my favorite desserts that I have made within the last year. Holy blackberries, they are amazing. Rich and berry, berry gooey – the best kinds of desserts always are.

They look sooooo good! I never thought of putting fruit in brownies!!! So going to make these this week! ☺️
Thank you!! They are sooo good – super rich :D
Oh these look so, so good, I love blackberries and really any berry with chocolate, so yummy! Just as you veganized the original recipe, I may need to swap out the flour to make these gluten free. If you’re interested check out my take on flourless superfood brownies with avocado and almond http://sweetgreenkitchen.com/2015/02/22/double-chocolate-flourless-super-food-brownies/
I hope you enjoy them – making them gluten-free should be easy :) Thanks for sharing your recipe!! xx
These were totally delicious. I am not vegan, so I did add chocolate chunks to them, plus I used twice as many blackberries as suggested and did applesauce instead of flax eggs (because it was most convenient for me). They were awesome and I already can’t wait to make them again!
Hey Shereen – I’m so glad to hear they came out awesome. I think I may need to try extra blackberries next time!! xx Bianca
6 tbs ground flaxseed + 2 tbs water does not equal two flax eggs according to other recipes. However, the first time i make a recipe, I follow it exactly.
It turned out very dry and crumbly. Do you think it was because of too much flax meal and not enough water? A flax egg is customarily 1 Tbsp flax meal and 3 Tbsp water.
Debra – thank you for pointing this out!! This is definitely a typo – I am so sorry about that. I am going to change it right now. My apologies :(
That is definitely the reason why it came out too dry.
