Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan to prevent the brownies from sticking.

2. Prepare the Chocolate and Butter Mixture

In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chocolate chips together. Stir occasionally until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.

3. Whisk the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together until fluffy and light. Once well combined, slowly incorporate the melted chocolate and butter mixture, mixing thoroughly.

4. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. Gently fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5. Add the Raspberries and Chocolate Chips

Carefully fold in the fresh raspberries and the remaining chocolate chips, making sure the raspberries don’t break up too much.

6. Bake the Brownies

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (with a few crumbs attached). The edges should be slightly set, but the center should still be fudgy.

7. Cool and Slice

Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes before slicing them into squares. For best results, let them cool completely before serving.

Optional Toppings:

• Drizzle with melted chocolate or a dusting of powdered sugar.
• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.

Variations

1. Add Nuts: For extra texture and flavor, consider adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the batter.
2. Use Freeze-Dried Raspberries: If fresh raspberries are not available, you can substitute with freeze-dried raspberries, which will give a more concentrated raspberry flavor.
3. Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle melted chocolate on top of the brownies after baking for a more decadent finish.

Storage/Reheating

• Storage: Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. You can also refrigerate them for a longer shelf life.
• Freezing: These brownies freeze well! Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. To serve, thaw at room temperature for a few hours or microwave for 10-15 seconds.
• Reheating: To enjoy warm brownies, reheat them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes.

FAQs

Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh ones?

Yes, you can use frozen raspberries, but be sure to thaw and drain them well before adding to the batter to prevent excess moisture.

Can I use a different type of chocolate in this recipe?

Yes! You can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate for a different flavor profile.

How do I know when the brownies are done?

Check the brownies by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean with a few crumbs attached, they are done. The edges should be slightly set, and the center should be soft but not raw.

Can I make these brownies ahead of time?

Yes! These brownies can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days. They also freeze well, so you can make them in advance and enjoy them later.
