Ingredients

  • 1 box Brownie Mix (including ingredients listed on the box)
  • 1 cup Raspberries
  • 2 tbsp Raspberry Jam

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the brownie mix box for an 8 x 8-inch pan. Spray the pan with non-stick spray and set it aside.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the boxed brownie mix according to the package directions.
  3. Step 3: Gently stir the raspberries into the prepared brownie batter.
  4. Step 4: Drop small dollops of raspberry jam across the top of the batter. Use the tip of a knife to swirl the jam into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
  5. Step 5: Press a few additional raspberries into the top of the batter for extra texture and flavor.
  6. Step 6: Bake the brownies following the time guidelines on the box, then allow them to cool before slicing.

Tips & Variations

  • For a richer flavor, use fresh, ripe raspberries and high-quality raspberry jam.
  • Try adding a handful of white chocolate chips to the batter for a sweet contrast.
  • Use frozen raspberries if fresh aren’t in season, but do not thaw them to avoid excess moisture.

Storage

Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them refrigerated for up to a week or freeze for up to three months. Reheat briefly in the microwave for a soft, warm treat.

FAQs

Can I use a different fruit instead of raspberries?

Yes, blackberries or chopped strawberries can work well as a substitute, providing a similar tartness and texture.

How do I prevent the jam from sinking to the bottom?

Swirling the jam gently with a knife just after dolloping helps distribute it evenly on the surface, preventing it from sinking during baking.

Description

Deliciously rich and fudgy raspberry brownies featuring a boxed brownie mix enhanced with fresh raspberries and swirled raspberry jam for a burst of fruity flavor. These brownies are easy to prepare and perfect for a luscious dessert or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Base

  • 1 box Brownie Mix (plus required ingredients as per box instructions)

Fruit Additions

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 2 tablespoons raspberry jam

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the brownie mix box for an 8 x 8 inch pan. Lightly spray the baking pan with non-stick spray and set it aside.
  2. Prepare Brownie Batter: Prepare the boxed brownie mix according to the directions given on the back of the box, combining all ingredients as instructed until smooth.
  3. Incorporate Raspberries: Gently stir in the fresh raspberries into the prepared brownie batter, distributing them evenly for bursts of flavor.
  4. Add Raspberry Jam Swirl: Drop small dollops of raspberry jam on top of the brownie batter. Use the tip of a knife to create a swirl effect by lightly dragging through the jam and batter, giving a beautiful marbled look.
  5. Top with Additional Raspberries: Press some extra fresh raspberries onto the surface of the batter to enhance the brownie’s fruity taste and appearance.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Bake the brownies in the preheated oven for the time specified on the box instructions, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.

Notes

  • Use fresh raspberries for the best texture and flavor, but frozen can be used if fresh are out of season—just thaw and drain excess moisture.
  • Be careful not to over-swirl the jam to avoid mixing it fully into the batter; the goal is distinct ribbons of jam.
  • Let brownies cool completely before cutting for cleaner slices.
  • You can substitute raspberry jam with other berry jams like blackberry or strawberry for variation.
