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