Brownie Batter
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (225 grams)
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
Raspberry Sauce
- 1/2 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 cup sugar
- A small amount of water (about 2 tablespoons)
- Prepare the Baking Pan: Line an 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Lightly coat the lining with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Make the Raspberry Sauce: In a saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, and a small splash of water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes saucy. Mash the raspberries with a spoon or use an immersion blender for a smoother texture. Bring the sauce to a boil for a few minutes, then turn off the heat. Strain to remove the seeds and set aside.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready when you’re done preparing the batter.
- Prepare the Chocolate Mixture: Melt butter and chocolate chips together over low heat until silky smooth. Turn off the heat and let cool, optionally placing the pan in the fridge to speed cooling.
- Mix Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs with sugar and vanilla until well combined. Slowly add this mixture to the cooled chocolate mixture, stirring continuously to temper the eggs and prevent scrambling.
- Finalize and Bake the Brownie Batter: Add flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda to the chocolate-egg mixture. Stir until smooth. Pour batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Spoon raspberry sauce over batter and gently swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.
- Bake the Brownies: Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool completely in the pan, then lift out using overhang, slice, and serve.
Notes
- Using fresh raspberries gives the best flavor, but frozen raspberries work well too.
- Make sure to let the chocolate mixture cool before adding the eggs to prevent them from cooking.
- For a smoother raspberry sauce, use an immersion blender before straining.
- These brownies keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- You can add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top before baking for a salty-sweet twist.
