Ingredients
-
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, divided
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp water
3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/3 cup softened butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
4 oz ricotta cheese
1/4 cup 1% milk
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350F, grease and line an 8" pan.
In a small pot, combine 2/3 cup blueberries, honey and water.
Bring to a simmer and cook until very thick and syrupy, stirring often, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat, mash with a potato masher or fork and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, flaxseed, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugar.
Add egg, vanilla and ricotta, beat well.
Add half the flour mixture to the creamed blend, then add milk and blueberry mash, beating in.
Add remaining flour and reserved 1/3 cup blueberries, folding in well.
Bake until a toothpick comes out with brownie-like moist crumbs, 28-30 minutes. Cool completely in the pan before cutting.
