Tips & Variations

• For a richer raspberry flavor, try adding a teaspoon of raspberry extract to the batter.
• Swap fresh raspberries with frozen ones if fresh are not available—just thaw and drain excess moisture before adding.
• For a crunchy contrast, sprinkle chopped nuts on top before baking.
• Use a cream cheese swirl in place of jam for a creamy variation.

FAQs

Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use frozen raspberries. It’s best to thaw and drain them well to prevent extra moisture from making the brownies too wet.

Will adding raspberries affect the baking time?

The raspberries may add a bit of moisture, but generally, you can bake according to the box instructions. Just check doneness with a toothpick to avoid under- or over-baking.

• 1 cup fresh raspberries

Instructions

Notes

• Be careful not to overmix the batter after adding raspberries to maintain pockets of fruit.
• Swirling the jam adds a burst of fruity sweetness but avoid overdoing it to prevent sogginess.
• Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing for cleaner cuts.
• Can be served warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
