Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line your baking pan with parchment paper. Wash and chop the fresh strawberries into small pieces to ensure they blend evenly into the batter while baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This mixture forms the moist base of your brownies.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. This step helps prevent lumps and ensures an even bake.
  4. Gently Fold Ingredients: Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to over-mix to keep brownies tender and fudgy. Fold in the chopped strawberries last to incorporate bursts of flavor.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and spread it out. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing for clean edges.

Notes

  • Use ripe strawberries for the best flavor and moisture; avoid overripe berries to prevent soggy brownies.
  • Do not over-mix the batter to maintain a tender and fudgy texture.
  • Use an oven thermometer to ensure accurate baking temperature and avoid dryness.
  • Cool brownies fully before slicing to retain structure and neat portions.
  • Line the baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and less mess.
