Ingredients
Scale
For the Brownies:
- 1 cup melted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup chopped strawberries
For the Pink Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp strawberry puree
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9 inch baking pan to prevent the brownies from sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth and uniform in consistency.
- Add Strawberries: Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, distributing them evenly through the brownie batter.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the greased baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack to set properly before glazing.
- Prepare Pink Glaze: In a separate bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, 1-2 tablespoons of milk, and strawberry puree until the glaze is smooth and creamy. Adjust milk as needed for desired consistency.
- Drizzle and Serve: Once the brownies have cooled, drizzle the pink glaze evenly over the top. Slice into servings and enjoy.
Notes
- Ensure brownies are cooled completely before applying the glaze to prevent it from melting.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- For a more intense strawberry flavor, increase the strawberry puree in the glaze slightly.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
