Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking pan. Wash, hull, and finely chop the fresh strawberries for even distribution in the batter.
  2. Melt Butter and Mix with Sugar: In a medium saucepan, gently melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until smooth and glossy, creating the sweet base.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the overall flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold this mixture into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix to keep brownies tender.
  5. Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold the chopped fresh strawberries into the brownie batter, ensuring even distribution without crushing.
  6. Bake Until Set: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking for the perfect fudgy texture.
  7. Cool and Cut: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, then cut into squares and enjoy the delicious blend of chocolate and strawberry flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • Avoid overmixing to keep brownies soft and fudgy instead of cakey.
  • Use room temperature eggs to help batter combine smoothly and bake evenly.
  • Check doneness early by testing a few minutes before the timer ends to prevent drying out.
  • Cool completely before cutting to help brownies set for clean slices.
