Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix with required ingredients from the box
- 1 cup raspberries
- 2 tablespoons raspberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the brownie mix box for an 8 x 8 inch baking pan. Lightly spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Prepare Brownie Batter: Follow the instructions on the brownie mix box to prepare the batter, including any eggs, oil, or water required.
- Incorporate Raspberries: Gently fold 1 cup of fresh raspberries into the brownie batter making sure they are evenly distributed without breaking them too much.
- Add Raspberry Jam Swirls: Drop small dollops of the raspberry jam on top of the batter in the pan. Use the tip of a knife to swirl the jam gently through the surface of the batter for a marbled effect.
- Top with Raspberries: Press a few extra raspberries into the top of the batter to add texture and visual appeal.
- Bake Brownies: Place the pan in the oven and bake for the full cooking time recommended on the box, usually about 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove brownies from the oven, allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen raspberries; if using frozen, do not thaw before adding to the batter to prevent excess moisture.
- Carefully swirl the jam to avoid mixing it completely into the batter for a pretty marbled look.
- For an extra chocolatey touch, sprinkle some chocolate chips or chopped nuts on top before baking.
- If using a different pan size, adjust baking time accordingly to prevent under or overcooking.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
