Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (plus required ingredients listed on the box, typically eggs, oil, and water)
Fruit Additions
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons raspberry jam
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to the temperature specified on your boxed brownie mix instructions, usually around 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray an 8 x 8 inch baking pan with non-stick spray to ensure the brownies don’t stick.
- Prepare Brownie Batter: Follow the directions on your brownie mix box to prepare the batter, which generally involves mixing the brownie mix with eggs, oil, and water until smooth and well combined.
- Incorporate Fresh Raspberries: Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh raspberries into the brownie batter; this will add bursts of tart flavor and moisture throughout.
- Add Raspberry Jam Swirls: Spoon small dollops of raspberry jam across the top of the batter. Use the tip of a knife or a skewer to swirl the jam gently through the batter to create beautiful marbled patterns.
- Top with Additional Raspberries: Press a few extra raspberries evenly on top of the batter to enhance the fruity aroma and provide a lovely texture once baked.
- Bake the Brownies: Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake according to the time directed on the brownie mix box, usually about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen raspberries according to availability; if using frozen, do not thaw before mixing to avoid excess moisture.
- For a gluten-free option, select a gluten-free brownie mix and verify raspberry jam ingredients.
- Adjust baking time slightly if using a glass or metal pan as per manufacturer’s guidance.
- Raspberry jam can be substituted with other fruit preserves for variation.
- Allow brownies to cool before cutting to achieve cleaner slices and avoid crumbling.
