Ingredients
Ingredients
- ½ cup Unsalted Butter Melted for mixing with sugars.
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness and texture.
- ½ cup Brown Sugar Packed for moisture and depth of flavor.
- 2 large Eggs Room temperature for best results.
- ½ cup All-Purpose Flour Provides structure to the brownies.
- ⅓ cup Cocoa Powder Unsweetened for deep chocolate flavor.
- ½ teaspoon Baking Powder Leavening agent for texture.
- ¼ teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor.
- 1 cup Fresh Raspberries For the raspberry swirl.
- ½ cup Chocolate Chips Semi-sweet for extra chocolatey flavor.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir until fully melted and remove from heat.
- In a mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar and brown sugar with the melted butter. Whisk until smooth and glossy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
- Gently fold in the fresh raspberries and chocolate chips, being careful not to break the raspberries too much.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Drop spoonfuls of remaining raspberries on top and swirl gently with a knife.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.
