21 Fantastic Fruit Brownie Recipes

Decadent chocolate pairs deliciously with fresh strawberries. It's an iconic flavor combination as celebrated as tomato and basil, peanut butter and jelly, or root beer and vanilla ice cream. However, chocolate is a versatile dance partner — it can rumba with raspberries, cha-cha with cherries, and quickstep with cranberry! And we've rounded up some fruity brownie recipes — along with some thick and chewy blondies—that prove the prowess of the fruit-laced brownie. Whether it is the tartness of berries, the zing of citrus, the creaminess of a banana, or even the earthiness of raisins and dates, fruit gives brownies an elevated — and quite tasty — edge.

These Blueberry Brownies are the brainchild of a culinary creative. "I had this idea to modify a brownie recipe — and it worked! I substituted all of the chocolate in a brownie recipe with a condensed blueberry syrup I made using fresh blueberries," explains KETCHHOT. "It retains the brownie texture, although it is a little more cake-like. But, the surprising thing was that it tastes really good!"

Let your palate guide you when it comes to your dried fruit of choice in this uber-healthy brownie. Plus you can make it more chocolaty if you're a chocolate lover. "It's a wonderful and easy-as-ABC raw, vegan brownie that requires no baking or processed sugar," says user Joanna. "Change up the sweet — raisins, dates, prunes, dried cherries — according to what your taste buds say, and experiment with the fat too—almonds, walnuts, macadamia nuts, pine nuts. You can increase the cocoa powder to a third- or even half-cup if a darker chocolate taste is desired."
