Chocolate Raspberry Brownies
Did you know that brownies are a true American dessert, believed to have originated in the New England area. They can be either chewy, fudgy, dense or cake like. I believe that these particular brownies fall into the cake-like category. These are wonderful little brownies and served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and freshly made raspberry sauce, they make for a perfect ending to a perfect evening or lunch, afternoon or maybe even breakfast. However, I made the mistake of using raspberry jam with seeds which result in a slight crunching when eating the brownie (a sensation which I really don’t care for). So I highly recommend seedless raspberry jam, unless of course your into the seeds kind-a-thing. Recipe for fresh Raspberry Sauce is posted separately. Enjoy.
Brownie Ingredients
Ingredients:
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup seedless raspberry jam
1/3 cup water
5 tablespoon butter
1 large egg
1 large egg white
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Line bottom of 9 x 9 inch square baking pan with parchment paper and spray sides with cooking spray.
Combine flour, sugar, unsweetened cocoa, baking powder and salt in a large bowl, stir with a whisk. Combine raspberry jam, water and butter in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Let jam mixture cool for 10 minutes. Add jam mixture to flour and stir well. Lightly beat together egg and egg white with a fork, add eggs to chocolate/jam mixture and stir until smooth. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted into center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Cool in pan. Enjoy.

I never knew brownies came from the good old US of A but I must say if I could pick a food I’m proud of, brownies would be it. These look tasty and I totally agree–the seeds would irk me too!
I wonder how these would taste with white chocolate chips… I am so used to white chocolate raspeberry combination…

Hi Gitte!
I’m so glad you tried the brownies, they came out beautifully, and the sauce is gorgeous. Good note about using seedless jam – that can be annoying to bite into!
