Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

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

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fresh Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed and roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Wash and roughly chop fresh strawberries, then set them aside.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt to remove lumps and ensure even baking.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the melted unsalted butter with sugar until fully combined and smooth to create a fudgy texture.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract to deepen the flavor.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated to avoid tough brownies.
  6. Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold the chopped fresh strawberries into the batter, distributing them evenly while keeping the pieces intact.
  7. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before slicing to maintain their shape and allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter; fold gently for tender brownies.
  • Preheat the oven to ensure even baking and fudgy centers.
  • Chop strawberries uniformly to distribute flavor evenly.
  • Allow brownies to cool before slicing to prevent crumbling.
  • To enhance strawberry flavor, consider adding strawberry extract or swirling strawberry jam before baking.
  • For a vegan option, substitute eggs with flaxseed meal and butter with coconut oil.
  • Gluten-free versions can be made using almond flour or gluten-free flour blends.
