Brownie Base
- 1 box Brownie Mix (including ingredients listed on the box such as eggs, oil, and water)
Fruit Addition
- 1 cup Fresh Raspberries
- 2 tbsp Raspberry Jam
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat oven to the temperature specified on the brownie mix box, usually around 350°F (175°C). Spray an 8 x 8 inch baking pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
- Mix Brownie Batter: Prepare the boxed brownie mix according to the directions on the package, which typically involves combining the mix with eggs, oil, and water.
- Add Raspberries: Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh raspberries into the prepared brownie batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without breaking them up too much.
- Swirl Raspberry Jam: Drop small dollops of raspberry jam over the surface of the batter in the pan. Using the tip of a knife, swirl the jam gently into the batter to create a marbled effect.
- Top with Additional Raspberries: Press a few extra whole raspberries onto the top of the batter to add texture and enhance the raspberry flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven according to the time listed on the brownie mix box (usually 20-25 minutes), or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before cutting into squares. Serve on their own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Notes
- Use fresh raspberries for best results; frozen raspberries may add extra moisture.
- Swirling the jam lightly avoids over-mixing and keeps interesting patterns and taste.
- For a richer taste, consider using a dark chocolate brownie mix.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- These brownies can be frozen uncut in an airtight container for up to 2 months; thaw before serving.
