Why this recipe works
These brownies may look intimidating, but honestly, they are so easy to whip up.
- One-bowl recipe. You only need a big microwave-safe bowl to assemble the batter. Isn’t it great when you have fewer utensils to clean up after?!
- Naturally flourless. One way to make perfect fudgy brownies is to skip the flour. And if you have tried my flourless brownies, you know I am not bluffing.
- Perfect texture. Like any good brownie, these have crisp edges, and are gooey and fudgy in the middle.
Ingredients Needed
These irresistible raspberry brownies use only seven simple ingredients. Yet another reason to love this recipe!
- Butter. I always use unsalted, room-temperature butter to make my brownies, but coconut oil works if you can’t tolerate dairy or want another option.
- Chocolate. I like to use a block of semi-sweet chocolate, but dark or milk will also work. Avoid using chocolate chips, as they don’t melt as nicely. Remember to save some chocolate to stir in for small pockets of chocolaty goodness.
- Sugar. Brown or white sugar will both work. White sugar will give the edges a nicer crust, whereas brown sugar will yield an even fudgier center.
- Eggs. Use room-temperature large eggs.
- Cocoa powder. Use Dutch-processed, unsweetened cocoa powder or dark or black cocoa powder for a richer flavor.
- Arrowroot powder. It is an excellent thickener and helps hold the brownies together, especially when this recipe is flourless. Cornstarch will work, as will cornflour.
- Raspberries. Burst of juicy raspberries in every bite? Yes, please! Use fresh, plump raspberries to make these brownies for the best results or frozen ones if that is all you have on hand.
How to make raspberry brownies
Contrary to popular belief, brownies are low maintenance. You just need to measure the ingredients carefully and follow these simple steps. Let’s go!
- Prep the pan. Line your pan with a foil or baking paper and grease it lightly.
- Melt the chocolate. Melt chocolate and butter in a microwave.
- Make the batter. Whisk in sugar until combined, and add eggs, one at a time. Combine the dry ingredients until incorporated, and then fold in the raspberries.
- Bake the brownies. Pour the mixture into the prepped pan and bake in a preheated oven for 25-30 minutes at 180°C/350°F until the toothpick comes out mostly clean.
- Slice and serve. Allow the brownie slab to cool, slice it into squares, and serve!
Tips to make the best recipe
Use extra parchment paper: Cut your parchment paper or tin foil such that it has overhangs. This way, you can easily pick up the slab from the pan.
Use a metal baking pan: Metal trays are so much better at retaining heat and baking the brownies more evenly than glass trays.
Measure the ingredients carefully: The key to baking good brownies is to measure all the elements perfectly. Bring out those measuring cups and spoons and get mixing!
Melt chocolate slowly: When melting butter and chocolate in the microwave, take the bowl out every 10-15 seconds, mix it using a spatula, and heat until completely melted. Also, allow the chocolate to cool before adding eggs to avoid cooking your eggs.
Storage instructions
To store. Brownies store well at room temperature for up to three days. Keep them in a sealed container at all times. If you’d like to keep them longer, store them in the fridge for up to two weeks.
To freeze. Store the cooled raspberry brownie pieces in ziplock bags in the freezer for three months.

Frequently asked questions
Not only is this recipe flourless, but we have ensured it is grain-free and gluten-free, too.
Sure, you can! Mix in frozen raspberries with the batter and bake until ready. You don’t need to thaw them before using them.
If you like fudgy brownies, remove them from the oven when the toothpick is almost clean. If you prefer fully set brownies, bake them for slightly longer.

WOW, these are some of the best brownies I have ever seen! The texture, thickness, raspberry distribution, and chocolatey richness are all phenomenal. I bet it was hard to not devour the batter before you actually baked everything!
I was shocked how simple these are but taste so great!! Adding to the recipe collection :]
😀 LOVE IT!
Hey! I’ve just tried making these beautiful brownies and they taste great. The only problem is the texture. They are really soft and creamy. I even kept them in the oven for 15 min more but the result didn’t change. Could you think of any possible mistake I made? Thank you😃
Hi there! Sometimes it could be too many raspberries- I’d remove them from the oven, let them cool in the pan then refrigerate before slicing 🙂
In the pictures it looks like there are chocolate chips in the recipe. Are there? Are they included in the calorie count?
You can add them if you like- The calorie count doesn’t so adjust it to suit your needs 🙂
I didn’t have a flax egg so I made these with mashed banana in place of the flax and it added amazing flavor!
Thanks so much for the feedback, Krista!
Absolutely brilliant. Simple recipe, tastes gorgeous, sticky and gooey. I reduced the sugar by half a cup and it still was amazing. The tart raspberries cut through the chocolate sweetness perfectly. These definitely taste better the next day and I highly recommend chopping up some dark chocolate to mix in and sprinkle across the top for some bite.
Fantastic 🙂
Can I use all purpose flour?
You can make my vegan brownies and add raspberries.
