    These Chocolate Raspberry Brownies pair fudgy, chocolate brownies with tart raspberries and a swirl of sweet raspberry jam. This raspberry brownie recipe has two types of chocolate for extra richness you won't be able to resist!

    I absolutely love chocolate raspberry desserts, and these thick brownies are so simple and delicious! They are perfect for Valentine's Day or whenever your chocolate craving strikes.

    I'm also a sucker for fudgy brownies and chocolate covered fruits! This recipe is the best of both worlds. The brownies taste like chocolate covered raspberries in bar form with the best texture! They're a favorite along with my sourdough discard brownies!

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    • Raspberries and chocolate are a delicious flavor combination! This is also true in my raspberry white chocolate blondie recipe.
    • These fruit brownies are super easy to make in less than 1 hour.
    • No special equipment required - just a bowl, a metal pan, and an oven!
    • These raspberry chocolate brownies have double chocolate and double raspberry.

    Ingredients

    Ingredients needed to make chocolate raspberry brownies.
    • Chocolate chips and cocoa powder add lots of chocolate flavor to these brownies with raspberries. Use high quality, bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks for best results.
    • Fresh raspberries and raspberry jam give these brownies fruit flavor in every bite. Frozen raspberries can also be used, but do not thaw them ahead of time. My favorite jam to use is Bonne Maman's raspberry preserves.
    • Light brown sugar is used instead of granulated sugar which lends a richer flavor and helps the brownies stay fudgy.
    • Eggs are key to a crackly brownie top and chewy center.

    See recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    Substitutions & Variations

    • Substitute different berries such as diced strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries in place of the raspberries.
    • If you don't have light brown sugar, feel free to substitute an equal amount of granulated sugar or a combination of white and dark brown sugar.
    • Add mix-ins like white chocolate chips or toasted, chopped nuts for extra flavor and texture.
    • Swirl Nutella on top of the batter in addition to, or in place of, the raspberry jam.

    How to Make Chocolate Raspberry Brownies

    Stirring melted chocolate and butter in a bowl.

    Step 1: Heat butter and chocolate chips until fully melted and combined. This can be done in a microwave-safe bowl or in a pot over the stove.

    Mixing eggs and brown sugar in a bowl with a hand mixer.

    Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix the eggs and brown sugar until light and airy. I like to use my hand mixer on medium-high speed for a few minutes to save time and energy, but whisking by hand will also work!

    Mixing melted chocolate and butter into eggs and brown sugar.

    Step 3: Stir the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Make sure it has cooled slightly so it doesn't cook the eggs.

    Whisking flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl.

    Step 4: In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, and salt together.

    Step 5: Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, then fold in the raspberries. Be careful not to overmix!

    Step 6: Spread the brownie batter into a parchment-lined 8x8 pan. If using, swirl the raspberry jam on top, then sprinkle a few extra raspberries over the batter. Bake at 350°F until the edges have set but the center is slightly jiggly.

    Expert Baking Tips

    1. Melt the butter and chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 30 second increments, mixing in between each, until fully melted.
    2. Make sure the whisk the eggs with the brown sugar until they have about doubled in size. This is what creates the crackly top on your brownies.
    3. Gently mix the raspberries into the brownie batter to avoid breaking the berries into many pieces.

    Recipe FAQs

    How can I make my brownies fudgier instead of cakey?

    Make sure not to overbake your brownies. Take them out of the oven when the tops of the brownies look dry and shiny and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.

    Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh?

    Yes. Use the raspberries straight from the freezer and do not thaw before mixing them into the batter. Thawed berries release a lot of moisture which would alter the texture of the brownies.

    Can I bake these in a 9x9 inch pan?

    Yes, these can be made in a 9-inch square metal pan. They won't be as thick and may take slightly less time to bake, so be sure to keep an eye on them!

    How do I cleanly cut brownies into perfect squares?

    First, make sure the brownies have cooled completely. Run a chef's knife under hot water, dry it off, and then cut and slide the knife through the brownies. Clean the knife with hot water and repeat for every slice.

    Equipment

    • 8x8 inch metal pan
    • Mixing bowls
    • Measuring spoons
    • Scale/measuring cups
    • Whisk
    • Spatula
    • Electric mixer recommended

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
    • 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks high quality
    • 3 large eggs room temperature
    • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
    • ⅔ cup all-purpose flour weighed in grams or spooned and leveled
    • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 cup raspberries fresh or frozen (do not thaw if frozen)
    • 2 tablespoons raspberry jam optional

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square metal pan with parchment paper.
    • In a medium microwave-safe bowl or a pot over the stove, melt the butter and chocolate until smooth. Let it cool slightly so that it doesn't cook the eggs in the next step.
    • In a large bowl, mix the eggs and brown sugar on medium speed until light and airy (this should take a few minutes). Mix in the melted chocolate mixture well.
    • Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ones just until a few flour streaks remain. Then, fold in the raspberries just until combined.
    • Evenly spread the raspberry brownie batter into the prepared pan. Swirl raspberry jam on top and sprinkle with extra raspberries (optional).
    • Bake on the middle rack until the edges are done but the center is still very slightly jiggly (about 20-30 minutes). A toothpick inserted into the middle should come out with some wet crumbs.
    • Cool in the pan completely, then remove and cut into even squares. Enjoy!
