Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan to ensure the brownies do not stick.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and unsweetened cocoa powder until evenly combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter with the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Combine Mixtures and Add Strawberries: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined, then carefully fold in the sliced fresh strawberries to distribute them evenly without breaking them up too much.
- Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the greased baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with only a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan before cutting into squares. Serve warm if desired for a melty, gooey treat.
Notes
- Use fresh ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the brownies tender.
- Check doneness early to avoid overbaking, which can dry out the brownies.
- For an extra chocolaty touch, add chocolate chips or chunks if desired.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
