Raspberry Brownies Recipe
Introduction
Raspberry brownies are a delightful twist on classic fudgy brownies, combining rich chocolate with bursts of fresh raspberry flavor. Easy to prepare using a boxed mix, fresh raspberries, and raspberry jam, these brownies are perfect for a quick yet decadent treat.
Ingredients
- 1 box Brownie Mix + ingredients listed on the box
- 1 cup Raspberries
- 2 tbsp Raspberry Jam
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified for an 8 x 8 inch pan on the brownie mix box. Lightly spray the pan with a non-stick spray and set aside.
- Step 2: Prepare the boxed brownie mix according to the directions provided on the back of the box.
- Step 3: Gently fold 1 cup of raspberries into the prepared brownie batter, being careful not to crush them too much.
- Step 4: Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Drop raspberry jam in small dollops across the top of the batter.
- Step 5: Swirl the jam into the batter using the tip of a knife to create a marbled effect.
- Step 6: Press a few extra raspberries into the top of the batter for added texture and flavor.
- Step 7: Bake the brownies according to the time indicated on the box, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Tips & Variations
- For an extra rich brownie, substitute half the oil with melted butter as directed on your brownie mix box.
- Try swapping fresh raspberries for frozen ones—just defrost and drain excess liquid before folding into the batter.
- Add a sprinkling of white or dark chocolate chips into the batter for a gooey chocolate burst.
Storage
Store leftover raspberry brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze wrapped tightly for up to 3 months. To reheat, warm in the microwave for 15–20 seconds to bring back that fudgy texture.

FAQs
Can I use other berries instead of raspberries?
Yes, blueberries, blackberries, or chopped strawberries work well and add their own unique flavor to the brownies.
Will adding fresh fruit affect the baking time?
Adding fresh raspberries slightly increases moisture, so baking time may be a few minutes longer. Keep an eye on the brownies and use a toothpick to check for doneness.

Notes
- Use fresh raspberries for best texture, but frozen raspberries could be used; just thaw and drain excess liquid first.
- Be gentle when stirring raspberries into the batter to avoid turning it pink or watery.
- For extra raspberry flavor, use seedless raspberry jam.
- If you prefer a more intense raspberry flavor, add an extra tablespoon of jam or raspberry extract to the batter.
- Ensure the baking pan size matches the one specified on the brownie mix box for accurate baking time and texture.
