Sour Cream Raspberry Brownies
The first time I sank my teeth into these delicious raspberry brownies, I knew this was a bond for life!! I still remember how much we used to love baking brownies back in grad school days. It was our favorite, quick, easy and affordable dessert, and we'd top it with whip cream or strawberry syrup or plain vanilla ice cream and forget the worries and tensions of school!:) To date I cannot resist a warm fudge brownie topped with vanilla ice cream and nuts...what a beauty, and so irresistible!! So I am surprised how I hadn't blogged about my favorite dessert until now!! Well, better late than never, so here I share with you my recipe for Sour Cream Raspberry Brownies, where the secret ingredient is of course, Sour Cream. The latter imparts a moist and rich texture to the brownies and the raspberries give it the luscious taste in every bite that makes these beauties almost irresistible!Ingredients
1/2 cup wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons sunflower oil
1/2 cup thick reduced fat sour cream
1 tspn soda -bicarb
2 eggs lightly beaten (or 1/2 cup apple puree for making it eggless)
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
Method
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line the base and sides of a baking dish with baking paper.
Sift the flours, soda-bicarb and cocoa powder into a large bowl. Whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla, oil and sour cream in a another bowl. Beat till you see soft peaks form in the mixture, then add in the flours and mix until smooth. Fold in the raspberries (and apple puree if used)
Now spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a tooth-pick comes out clean when inserted in the centre.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Cut into squares and dust with icing sugar if desired.
Tip: You can use walnuts or pecans instead of raspberries as a variation. If you are short on time, just use the readymade brownie mixes like Betty Crocker available in the market. These Sour-cream Raspberry Brownies are best served warm. Add some vanilla ice cream to make a delicious dessert!

I need to stop coming here for a while. It is so tempting, my calorie meter goes for a toss.
This is so easy and no butter too. Seems really healthy too. Hope to try it soon.
Pls don't do that Suganya, as Laavanya said, there' no butter, only low-fat sour cream, half wheat flour and raspberries..it's all healthy girl!!
Eggless brownies are always welcome :).
Raspberries add such a yummy touch to chocolate! Cool recipe, Mansi!

-Abhinav
awesome mansi...love the eggless bit...will have to make this

I agree with suganya. You cook too many goodies one after the other and tempt your visitors like anything. Looks so good. Although I love chocolate sooooooo much ,I can't do this in home. My hubby dosen't allow chocolate in any form to come into our house. Poor man... he dosen't know the choco bars hidden in my closet. Anyway, will save this recipe to try it for a party. Thanks for sharing.
They look lovely Mansi.
Bee, you always have all the ingredients:)

I make chocolate brownies regularly. I actually have a batch in my refrigerator that I just made yesterday. Never tried adding sour cream though.
Yummy raspberries, too good, love the brownies!
Love brownies....just love love love them! With 1 3/4 cup of flour(including cocoa) are these cake-y or fudgy?
Even though I think I've found my favorite brownie recipe...I never shy from experimenting some more ;)
Nabeela - they are not very soft like cake, though sour cream gives it a smooth texture. But you can use a little less flour, add it slowly while whisking till you reach the consistency that you like:)
Those brownies look great! And you're right, once you've found THE brownie for you, it's difficult to turn back. Oh, thanks for linking me up; I've added you to my blogroll as well :)
