  • Bake at 350F (or 325F convection bake) ~40 minutes. Brownies will be firm at the edges and slightly wet in the centre. (Note: These brownies will continue to cook once you remove from oven so slightly wet dough on a toothpick while the mixture is firm at the edges).

Notes

Sofia’s Tips:
  • Don’t have raspberries? No problem – These brownies can also be made with dollops of raspberry jam. Baking time may be ~5 minutes less.
  • Chopped chocolate and a dusting of powdered sugar are a fun way to make these brownies even more elegant!
