Brownie Base
- 1 box Brownie Mix (plus required ingredients as per box instructions, typically eggs, oil, and water)
Fruit and Jam
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons raspberry jam
- Preheat the Oven: Set 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 it aside.
- Prepare Brownie Batter: Follow the directions on the brownie mix box to prepare the batter, combining the required ingredients until smooth and well mixed.
- Incorporate Raspberries: Gently fold 1 cup of fresh raspberries into the brownie batter, being careful not to crush them to maintain their juicy texture.
- Add Raspberry Jam Swirls: Drop small dollops of raspberry jam evenly over the top of the brownie batter in the pan. Use the tip of a knife to swirl the jam into the batter, creating a pretty marbled effect.
- Top with Extra Raspberries: Press a few additional fresh raspberries into the surface of the batter for an extra burst of color and flavor.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake according to the box directions, usually about 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares and serving. This helps the jam set and flavors to meld beautifully.
Notes
- For a more intense raspberry flavor, substitute raspberry jam with seedless raspberry preserves.
- Use fresh or frozen raspberries; if using frozen, do not thaw before mixing to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
- If you prefer a richer brownie, consider adding 1/4 cup melted butter to the batter if allowed by the box instructions.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- To enhance presentation, dust brownies with powdered sugar or add a drizzle of melted white chocolate once cooled.
