Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons raspberry jam
- 1 cup mixed fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries) for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking pan or line with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.
- Beat in cocoa, flour, salt, and baking powder until the batter is smooth.
- In a small bowl, gently mash the fresh raspberries and mix with the raspberry jam to create the swirl.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Dollop half of the raspberry mixture over the batter and use a knife to gently swirl it in.
- Repeat layering with the remaining batter and raspberry mixture, swirling again to create a marbled effect.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
- Top with mixed fresh berries before serving for added freshness and color.
Notes
For an extra burst of flavor, serve these brownies slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
