Strawberry Brownies are a sweet and fruity twist on the classic brownie, combining the rich flavor of strawberry with a soft, chewy texture. These pretty-in-pink treats are perfect for any occasion, from Valentine’s Day to summer picnics!
📋 Ingredients:
For the Brownies:
🍓 1 box strawberry cake mix
🥚 2 large eggs
🍯 1/3 cup vegetable oil
For the Glaze:
🍚 1 cup powdered sugar
🍓 2-3 tbsp strawberry preserves or jam
🍋 1-2 tbsp milk (optional, to reach desired consistency)
🌿 Optional: Fresh strawberries for garnish
📝 Directions:
- Preheat Oven: 🔥 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
- Make the Brownie Batter: 🍓 In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. The batter will be thick.
- Bake the Brownies: 🍰 Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake; you want them to be moist and chewy. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan.
- Prepare the Glaze: 🍓 In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and strawberry preserves or jam. If the glaze is too thick, add a small amount of milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- Glaze the Brownies: 🍥 Once the brownies are completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Allow the glaze to set before cutting.
- Serve: 🍽️ Slice the strawberry brownies into squares and garnish with fresh strawberries if desired.
