Why make these brownies

Raspberries and chocolate go perfectly together. The tartness of the raspberries cuts through the richness of the chocolate. These rich chocolate brownies are studded with raspberries giving you a perfect combination in every bite.

Homemade brownies aren't difficult to make and can be whipped up in no time at all.

These raspberry brownies are delicious just by themselves or try with a scoop of ice cream and a bit of homemade raspberry sauce drizzled over the top

Key Ingredients

Small bowls filled with chocolate, raspberries, flour and sugar.
  • Raspberries - you can use fresh or frozen berries. If using frozen, do not thaw first. Just add to the batter while still frozen.
  • Chocolate - Unsweetened chocolate
  • Butter - I use salted butter

Step by Step Directions

  • Place butter and chocolate in a large microwave-proof bowl. Heat in microwave for one minute. Remove and stir. Heat for one more minute and let set until the chocolate is completely melted.

  • Once chocolate is melted, stir well

The toughest part of making these brownies is letting them cool. They are best if they are fully cooled, but let's be real, we can't always wait that long for chocolate!

If you can't wait, let them cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Less than 20 minutes and they are too soft and will just fall apart.

Variations

Add some of your favorite add-ins to a batch of brownies.

  • Chocolate Chips - Add a cup of chocolate chips to the batter before baking
  • Chopped Nuts - Add pecans or walnuts to the batter before baking
  • Powdered Sugar - Sprinkle with powdered sugar after the brownies have cooled, just before serving
  • Whipped Cream - Serve each cooled brownie with a dollop of whipped cream

Tips for Making Brownies

  • Make certain you are using good quality unsweetened chocolate
  • Break chocolate into small pieces - it makes it easier to melt
  • You can use fresh or frozen raspberries
  • If using frozen raspberries, do not thaw berries. Add frozen berries to the batter. Increase baking time by 5 minutes.
  • Bake for the recommended baking time. Brownies will be gooey in the center.
  • Let cool before cutting

Recipe FAQs

Can I use frozen raspberries?

Yes, you can use fresh or frozen raspberries in this recipe. If using frozen raspberries, do not thaw berries first. Just add berries to the batter and increase baking time by 5 minutes. 

How do I know if brownies are fully baked?

Brownies cannot be tested for doneness like a regular cake. The center of a brownie will still be very moist when it is done.
The best way to know when your brownies are done is to cook to the exact amount of time in the recipe. Pull brownies from oven and allow to cool before slicing.

      Hi Randy,
      I'm afraid cocoa powder will not work in this recipe.

        My 7×11 pan is not glass. Is it still ok to use or can I substitute an 8x8 glass pan? Will the cook time need to be adjusted?

      • Kathy says

        Either will work just fine. You may need to add an extra 5 minutes to the bake time. Keep a close eye on it.
        Enjoy 🙂

    Love raspberry and chocolate together! Not sure I've had that combo in a brownie, and I definitely want to try it. So pretty, too. (P.S. I really like your ingredient photos with the labels!) 🙂 ~Valentina

    Raspberries and chocolate do go quite well together, and this sounds like my kind of treat! I haven't made a batch of brownies in a while now...and I think it's time to fix that problem. A handful of chopped pecans would be a great addition to these I think!
