• Try substituting raspberry jam with strawberry or blackberry jam for a different berry flavor.
• Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter for a richer taste.

FAQs

Can I use fresh or frozen raspberries?

Both work well. If using frozen, thaw and drain them well to avoid adding extra moisture to the batter.

Do I need to adjust baking time with the added fruit?

No need for significant changes; bake according to the instructions on the brownie mix box. Just check with a toothpick for doneness as usual.
