Put 1 punnet raspberries in a bowl and mash with a fork until smooth. Put cocoa, sugar and flours in a large bowl, mixing to combine. Add margarine, eggs, banana and mashed raspberries, whisking until smooth.

Step 3

Spoon batter into prepared tin. Spread out using back of spoon until smooth. Push remaining raspberries and walnuts into top of batter. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in centre comes out clean. Cool brownies in tin for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 4

Cut brownies into 18 pieces and serve dusted with icing sugar or cocoa powder.
