Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven and pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution of leavening agents and flavors throughout your brownies.
  3. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until creamy and fluffy. Then, add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly after each addition for a smooth batter.
  4. Blend dry and wet mixtures: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to maintain a tender crumb and fudgy texture.
  5. Fold in strawberries: Gently fold in chopped fresh strawberries, being careful not to overmix, as this could cause the batter to become too wet and dense.
  6. Bake the brownies: Pour the batter evenly into your prepared pan and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
  7. Cool and serve: Allow the Strawberry Brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing to ensure clean cuts and perfect texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe strawberries: Ripe but firm strawberries prevent sogginess while maximizing natural sweetness.
  • Don’t overmix the batter: Overmixing can lead to tough brownies, so stir just until ingredients come together.
  • Chill the strawberries: Cold berries hold their shape better during baking.
  • Test baking time early: Start checking at 25 minutes to avoid overbaking, keeping the brownies moist.
  • Use good-quality cocoa powder: The richer the cocoa, the more intense and chocolatey your brownies will taste.
