Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready when you’re done preparing the batter.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
