  5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Combine 1 cup of fresh raspberries, ¼ cup of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in a blender; blend and strain to make raspberry puree.
  7. Spread the brownie batter evenly in the prepared pan, then drop tablespoonfuls of raspberry puree on top and swirl gently with a knife.
