Brownie Base
- 1 box Brownie Mix (including ingredients required on the box such as eggs, oil, and water)
Fruit and Flavor Additions
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tbsp raspberry jam
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on your brownie mix box for an 8 x 8 inch pan. Lightly spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and set it aside.
- Prepare Brownie Batter: Follow the instructions on your boxed brownie mix, combining all required ingredients to create the batter.
- Incorporate Raspberries: Gently fold the fresh raspberries into the prepared brownie batter to evenly distribute the fruit throughout.
- Add Raspberry Jam Swirls: Drop small dollops of raspberry jam on the surface of the batter in the pan. Use the tip of a knife to swirl the jam into the batter, creating a marbled effect for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Top with Additional Raspberries: Press extra fresh raspberries into the top of the batter for a fresh fruit garnish and more bursts of raspberry flavor.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake according to the time directed on the brownie mix box. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh raspberries with frozen raspberries if fresh are not available, but do not thaw them to avoid extra moisture in the batter.
- For a stronger raspberry flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of raspberry extract to the batter.
- If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the amount of raspberry jam dolloped on top.
- Make sure not to over-swirl the jam to keep distinct pockets of raspberry flavor noticeable.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
