Ingredients
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup (175g) dark chocolate chips or chunks
- 1 cup (125g) fresh or frozen raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the Butter & Mix Sugars: In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in the granulated and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add Eggs & Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
- Mix & Fold: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Add Raspberries: Gently fold in the raspberries, being careful not to overmix.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool & Serve: Let the brownies cool completely before slicing. Enjoy them as they are or with a dusting of powdered sugar.
Tips for the Best
- Use High-Quality Chocolate: Opt for good-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for the best flavor.
- Don’t Overbake: Brownies continue to cook as they cool, so take them out when they are slightly underdone in the center.
- Fresh vs. Frozen Raspberries: If using frozen raspberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent excess moisture.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Drizzle with melted chocolate or raspberry sauce for extra indulgence.
- Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea for a delightful treat.
