Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (or chopped chocolate bars)
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
- 3 large Eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (preferably pure)
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder (fresh)
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda (fresh)
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
Raspberry Sauce
- 1 cup Raspberries (fresh or frozen, cooked down)
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
- Prepare Pan: Line an 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal, and lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make Raspberry Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine raspberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and 2 tablespoons water. Cook until the mixture becomes saucy, then mash it down and strain to remove any seeds. Set aside to cool.
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: Place chocolate chips and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until melted and smooth, then allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- Whisk Eggs and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat eggs with 1 cup granulated sugar and vanilla extract until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the egg mixture into the cooled chocolate mixture, stirring continuously to blend without scrambling the eggs.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until no flour streaks remain.
- Assemble and Swirl: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan. Spoon dollops of the raspberry sauce on top and swirl it gently into the batter using a knife or toothpick.
- Bake: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool Before Cutting: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan for about 2 hours before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Using fresh raspberries will give a brighter flavor, but frozen can be used as well.
- Ensure the chocolate mixture has cooled before adding eggs to prevent scrambling.
- For easier removal, lift brownies out using the parchment paper overhang.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
