Chocolate Raspberry Brownie Cupcakes

Jump to Recipe

It seems like kids everywhere are settled back into school and we are all getting back into the swing of the school routines. With so many schools always struggling for funding, back to school also means back to school fundraisers for many of us. If you have  bake sale coming up and are looking for something easy yet a little different, I have the perfect treat for you to make. Chocolate Raspberry Brownie Cupcakes.

I absolutely adore brownie cupcakes. Everything you love about brownies, in cupcake form. Truth be told, I’ll take a brownie cupcake over a regular cupcake anytime that I have the chance. Something about that dense fudgey texture just always wins out for me.

Raspberry Brownies

Raspberry CupakesThese quick and easy cupcakes are made with your favorite brownie mix and canned frosting (or go with your favorite homemade recipes – whatever works for you) and get their raspberry flavor from the delicious addition of McCormick Raspberry Extract. It’s amazing how a few teaspoons of McCormick Raspberry Extract can totally change the flavor of your brownies. It’s incredibly easy to mix it up and give those brownies a whole new taste. I recently used McCormick Raspberry Extract to make homemade Blue Raspberry Slushees for my kids, which have been a huge hit, and it’s fun giving a raspberry spin to other recipes as well.

Homemade Slushee Recipe

I used a dark chocolate fudge brownie mix to make my brownie cupcakes and it pairs so well with the raspberry.

Bake Sale Cupcakes

I baked my cupcakes in my typical cupcake liners and gave them a fun extra finish by popping them into cute little paper party cups. If you are making cupcakes for a school bake sale, this is a nice way to easily add some whimsy to the packaging and a perfect way to work some school colors into the mix.

Brownie Cupcake Recipe

I think these would also be delicious with McCormick Pure Orange Extract. Such a great trick to have in your baking toolbox, simply add in a few teaspoons of extract to create fun new flavor combinations. I think that McCormick Pure Peppermint Extract will be an awesome addition to brownies, cupcakes and frostings during the holidays.

Here is the recipe for these Chocolate Raspberry Brownie Cupcakes. Remember, feel free to use your favorite brownie or frosting recipe, or go with a box mix. As I always say, whatever works for YOU!

    Oh I have to try this extract in my vanilla butter cake. I am a baker and I make custom cakes and I think this flavor will be a wonderful addition! I love your blog and this post. Thank you for sharing!

      Dina, I think when you are starting with a vanilla butter cake, you simply can’t go wrong. That would be incredible!

    Love the idea! I do something similar with brownies with adding a bit of cream cheese and some strawberry extract. Voila – strawberry cheesecake brownie!

    Sound delicious! And I love how simple they are… sometimes a boxed mix is just what the doctor ordered!

      Jamie, I grew up on the box brownies and to this day they are their own special dessert. I love homemade brownies, but honestly when I think brownies, the box is what I’m thinking of!

      Ah, thanks Sally! My daughter wants me to make things blue raspberry – which she’s not yet convinced is just adding blue to the, well, raspberry. 🙂 Either way, I’m good.
