Recipe Ingredients
Butter: I used the regular, salted butter. Add a quarter teaspoon of salt to the brownie bites recipe if you have unsalted butter.
Flour: All-purpose flour works the best here.
Eggs: For moisture and richness. Make sure your eggs are at room temperature.
Sugar: I love the thick, caramelly flavor of muscovado sugar. Plus, it keeps the chocolate raspberry brownie moist. That said, brown sugar, caster sugar, or granulated sugar are good substitutes.
Vanilla extract:Â For rounding up the flavors. Use store-bought or homemade vanilla extract.
Chocolate: As I always say, find good-quality couverture chocolate, and your bakes will go from good to wow. My recipe has 55% dark chocolate, but you can use whatever kind you prefer.
Cocoa powder: For a really deep chocolate flavor!
Raspberries: Use fresh or frozen raspberries. If using frozen berries, there is no need to thaw them.

How To Make Chocolate Raspberry Brownie Bites
Step 1: On a double boiler or in the microwave, combine butter and chocolate chips.
Step 2: Stir until you have a glossy mixture, and then add sugar.
Step 3: Mix well and let the brownie batter cool for 5 minutes.
Step 4: Whisk in the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Step 5: Sift in flour and cocoa powder. Don’t overmix. Combine just until no dry streaks are visible.
Step 6: Fold in chocolate chips and frozen raspberries.
Step 7: Working with quick hands (I explain in the notes why), drop 2 to 2.5 tablespoons of the chocolate raspberry brownie batter into the cavities of a liberally greased mini muffin pan.
Step 8: Level the top slightly. Garnish with a frozen raspberry and a couple of more chocolate chips (if your heart so desires).
Step 9: Bake for 12 to 14 minutes.
Final step: Cool for a good 15–20 minutes. Carefully remove from the pan, cool, and serve. These brownie bites are best served chilled!
Top Tips
- The trick to baking brownies in a mini muffin tin is to grease the cavities really, really well. Or line them with silicone liners.Â
- Use room-temperature ingredients. They mix faster and give the best result.
- There is no need to thaw the raspberries. Use them frozen, with a gentle hand so they don’t break.
- Dust off your digital kitchen scale and measure each ingredient. I cannot emphasize enough how useful it is, particularly with the flour, too much of which makes the chocolate brownies dense.
- Once you add the raspberries to the batter, work super quickly because, as they thaw, they can create a liquid mess.
- Do not overbake these raspberry brownie bites. Slide them out of the oven as soon as you notice the brownie top is shiny and crackly.
- It’s important to let the brownies cool before you remove them from the muffin pan. Use the tip of your knife to loosen the edges. Take out the brownies and then finish cooling on the wire rack.
- Chill in the refrigerator for the fudgiest texture.
Recipe FAQs
Can I bake chocolate raspberry brownie bites in a brownie pan?
Absolutely! You can bake these in an 8" or 9" square baking tin. Just remember to adjust the baking time.
How to store chocolate raspberry brownies?
Since this is a brownie with raspberries, it can get a little funky on the countertop. They are best stored in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, where they will be good for 10 days.
Can I freeze chocolate raspberry brownie bites?
Yes, these brownie bites freeze well. Cool the brownies, then store them in an airtight container for up to 1 month in the freezer. Thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature before serving.
Can I use frozen raspberries for these brownie bites?
Yes, you can use frozen raspberries. Do not thaw them before using, as that can make the batter very wet.
How do I keep brownie bites fudgy and not cakey?
For fudgy raspberry brownie bites, avoid overmixing the batter and don't overbake them. Take them out when the centers are just set. That slight softness in the center gives you the rich, gooey texture.

Hey! Can these be baked by scooping the dough using a cookie scooper or do they need to be baked in a mini muffin tin?

Hi Harshita, I haven't tried baking these in a cookie form. So far I've baked these in a mini muffin pan only. Hope this helps:)
