Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix (plus required ingredients on the box)
- 1 cup raspberries
- 2 tbsp raspberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the brownie mix box for an 8 x 8 inch 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, mixing all required ingredients thoroughly until smooth.
- Add Raspberries: Gently fold 1 cup of fresh raspberries into the prepared brownie batter, being careful not to crush them too much.
- Swirl Raspberry Jam: Drop small dollops of raspberry jam on the surface of the batter. Use the tip of a knife to swirl the jam into the batter for a marbled effect.
- Add Topping Raspberries: Press additional raspberries into the top layer of the batter to enhance flavor and presentation.
- Bake Brownies: Place the pan in the oven and bake according to the time suggested on the brownie mix box, typically about 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen raspberries if fresh are unavailable; thaw and drain well to avoid excess moisture.
- Swirling the raspberry jam gently prevents over-mixing, preserving the distinct fruit flavor and pattern.
- Check doneness with a toothpick to avoid overbaking and maintain fudgy texture.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract into the brownie mix batter.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
