Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup (35g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups (about 200g) fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1/2 cup (90g) chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper. - Mix the wet ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract. - Combine the dry ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. - Mix wet and dry ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure fudgy brownies. - Add strawberries and chocolate chips:
Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and chocolate chips (if using). The strawberries will add moisture and flavor. - Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. - Cool and serve:
Let the brownies cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- Moisture from Strawberries: If you use very juicy strawberries, you may want to pat them dry with a paper towel to prevent the batter from becoming too runny.
- Variation: For an extra strawberry punch, swirl in some strawberry jam on top before baking.
- Serving Tip: These brownies are perfect served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream!
