Ingredients

1 box Brownie Mix + Ingredients required on the box
1 cup Raspberries
2 tbsp Raspberry Jam

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to the temperature specified for an 8 x 8 inch pan. Spray the pan with non-stick spray and set it aside.

Step 3: Gently stir the raspberries into the prepared brownie batter, being careful not to crush them too much.
Step 4: Drop small dollops of raspberry jam evenly over the top of the batter. Use the tip of a knife to swirl the jam lightly into the batter.
Step 5: Press a few additional raspberries into the top of the batter for extra texture and flavor.
Step 6: Bake the brownies according to the instructions on the box until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Tips & Variations

Use frozen raspberries if fresh are not available; just thaw and drain excess liquid before adding.
For extra richness, add a handful of chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter before baking.
Try swirling other fruit preserves, such as strawberry or blackberry jam, for a different berry flavor.

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 3 months. Reheat briefly in the microwave or enjoy cold.

Notes

Use fresh raspberries for the best texture and flavor.
If you prefer a stronger raspberry flavor, increase the raspberry jam slightly.
For a gluten-free option, choose a gluten-free brownie mix.
Be careful not to overmix once raspberries are added to avoid breaking them up too much.
Allow brownies to cool before cutting for cleaner slices.
