Ingredients

  • 1 box brownie mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
  • 1 cup raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons raspberry jam

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the brownie mix box for an 8 x 8-inch pan. Spray the pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the brownie batter according to the directions on the back of the box.
  3. Step 3: Gently fold the raspberries into the brownie batter to distribute them evenly.
  4. Step 4: Drop small dollops of raspberry jam across the top of the batter. Use the tip of a knife to swirl the jam lightly into the batter for a marbled effect.
  5. Step 5: Press a few additional raspberries onto the top of the batter for extra fruity texture and visual appeal.
  6. Step 6: Bake the brownies according to the time and temperature instructions on the box, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.

Tips & Variations

  • Use fresh or frozen raspberries; if frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid to avoid watery batter.
  • For a richer raspberry flavor, warm the raspberry jam slightly before swirling it into the batter.
  • Add chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter for added texture and flavor.

Storage

Store the raspberry brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat briefly in the microwave or enjoy at room temperature.

FAQs

Can I use other berries instead of raspberries?

Yes, blueberries, blackberries, or chopped strawberries can be used as alternatives, offering a different fruity twist while maintaining moisture and flavor.

Will the raspberry jam make the brownies too sweet?

The small amount of jam swirled into the batter enhances flavor without overpowering the brownies. Adjust the quantity if you prefer a subtler sweetness.
