Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter, melted
- 150 grams brown sugar, packed
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 150 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 125 grams fresh raspberries
- 10 grams powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the egg and whisk again until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, reserving a small handful for topping.
Spread about two-thirds of the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Evenly distribute the fresh raspberries over the batter, gently pressing them down slightly.
Dollop the remaining batter over the raspberries, spreading gently with a spatula. The raspberries don’t have to be completely covered.
Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with some moist crumbs attached.
Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into 12 squares.
Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve.
