Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips optional

Equipment

  • 8x8 inch baking pan
  • parchment paper
  • Mixing bowls (2 or 3)
  • whisk
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Toothpick

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  8. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  10. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
  11. Once cooled, cut the brownies into squares and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

For extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake them. Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor. Spoon flour into measuring cup and level for accurate measurement. Fresh strawberries are preferred; if using frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid. Cool completely before cutting for clean slices. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze for longer storage.
