Absolutely! Here’s a delicious strawberry brownie recipe that blends rich chocolate with fresh strawberries. I’ll give you a classic version and a cheat-friendly version.
1. Classic Strawberry Brownies
Ingredients:
For the brownies:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 8 oz (225g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
For the strawberry swirl:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
- Make strawberry puree: Blend strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice until smooth. Set aside.
- Melt chocolate and butter: In a heatproof bowl over simmering water (or microwave in 30s increments), melt chocolate and butter together, stirring until smooth.
- Mix wet ingredients: Stir in sugar, then eggs one at a time, and vanilla.
- Add dry ingredients: Fold in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined.
- Assemble brownies: Pour half the brownie batter into the pan. Dollop half the strawberry puree on top. Pour the remaining batter, then swirl remaining puree with a knife or skewer for a marbled effect.
- Bake: 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and serve: Let cool completely, then cut into squares. Optional: top with fresh strawberry slices.
2. Quick “Cheat” Strawberry Brownies (Using Box Mix)
Ingredients:
- 1 box of brownie mix
- Ingredients called for on the box (usually eggs, oil, water)
- 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
- Optional: 2 tbsp strawberry jam
Instructions:
- Preheat oven according to brownie mix instructions.
- Prepare brownie batter per the box directions.
- Fold in chopped strawberries (and jam if using) into the batter.
- Pour into prepared pan, bake as directed.
- Cool slightly and serve.
💡 Tip: For extra indulgence, add white chocolate chips or drizzle melted white chocolate over the top—it pairs beautifully with strawberries.
If you want, I can also make a fudgy strawberry-brownie recipe that’s almost like a chocolate-strawberry lava cake, which is insanely gooey and rich.
