Delicious rich chocolate raspberry brownies filled with lots of raspberries.
These tasty raspberry brownies are made in just one bowl which means easy to make and easy to clean up!
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
- 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
- Add sugar and vanilla
- Allow mixture to cool slightly and then add eggs
- Stir in flour
- Add raspberries and fold in gently
- Place brownie batter in a greased pan
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
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.
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.

I would love a raspberry bush in my backyard so I could make these brownies all the time.
Kathy says
I love to pick and eat them straight off the bush. I just wish raspberry season was a bit longer!

I didn't know we can freeze raspberries in home since they are so delicate, I will check your post.
Kathy says
They are delicate, but we freeze gallons every year.
Rachelle @ Beer Girl Cooks says
Congratulations on the new washer! I felt that way when we got out new dishwasher. The old one sounded like an airplane and the new one is so quiet that if it weren't for the little red light I wouldn't know it was working. You are so lucky to have so many raspberries right in your yard! I can imagine how hard it is to keep up with them ripening! These brownies are the perfect use of some fresh raspberries! Pinned!
Kathy says
I love the raspberry bushes. They are tough to keep up with right now, but the season is fairly short.
Ami@NaiveCookCooks says
Kathy such gorgeous pictures!! These brownies look to die for!!
Kathy says
Thanks! And yes, they are quite amazingly delicious!
Kushi says
WOW! This is a lovely combo. They look amazingly delicious!

Oh yay!!! Your new washer is here. Have fun. So weird how much you want to do laundry when you can't. I remember that feeling. Our dishwasher and oven went last year and suddenly all I wanted to do was load the dishwasher and bake. Ha ha. hope you are caught up on it by now. These brownies are perfect with the raspberries. I was just over on Anu's site looking at her yummy peach brownies. Fruit in brownies is a great idea! Have a great week Kathy!
Kathy says
The kids were arguing over who got to do laundry first! 🙂 I put my foot down and claimed the first load for me!
Anu - My Ginger Garlic Kitchen says
Looks like we are on a same page! I have also shared brownie recipe, today! 😉 But yours look way too delicious, Kathy. LOVE raspberries and love brownies too. They are speaking to me — YUMMY!
Kathy says

I can eat bowls of raspberries everyday. They are sooooo yummy!
annie@ciaochowbambina.com says
Oh, how I wish a tray of these were sitting on my counter right now! I love that classic combination of raspberry and chocolate! De-lish!
Kathy says
I had a tray of them and now they are all gone! I wish I could totally blame the disappearance on the kids but I ate my fair share! Time to make more.
Amanda says
So amazing! I don't think it gets much better than raspberries and chocolate! Thank you so much for sharing!
Kathy says
They are a great combination!
Cheyanne @ No Spoon Necessary says
Ohhh I am SO jealous of your fresh raspberries, Kathy!! I bet that bush is just gorgeous!! Loving these brownies! Just when I thought brownies couldn't get any better you went and added raspberries to the mix! GENIUS! Cheers, friend!
Kathy says
Raspberries are one of my favorites....so I try to put them in just about everything! 🙂

Dawn @ Girl Heart Food says
Yay for raspberry season! Loving these brownies. What a great combo and a perfect way to use what's fresh! Wishing I had, like, 5 of these right now 🙂
Laura @ Raise Your Garden says
I just love the idea of raspberry brownies! I have just one bush that typically still produces about 8 pints. But this year almost nothing because of the drought. So sad. Still, there are pretty cheap to buy this time of year.
Kathy says
It's a bummer you aren't getting any berries. I hope some rain comes your way soon. We've had more than our share this year....I'll try to send some your direction 🙂
Karen @ Seasonal Cravings says
Love the combo of chocolate and raspberries. Can't wait to try this with some fresh ones from our local market!
Kathy says
It is a great combo!
David @ Spiced says
Haha...glad the new washer is working well! Thanks for the reminder about freezing raspberries. Our raspberry bushes are going crazy right now, and I need to get out there today to pick another round of berries. (I'm going to use your tips on freezing them!) But I might have to keep some of them aside for these brownies...they look amazing!!
Kathy says
Just put a third of the raspberries in the freezer, a third in these brownies, and a third just for nibbling! 🙂
Natanja says
What gorgeous raspberries! I bet they taste as amazing as they look. And I love the combination here. I'll have brownies with raspberries anytime! 🙂
Kathy says
They taste amazing!
