Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup high-quality cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped (reserve a few for topping)
- Prepare the Ingredients: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper. Chop fresh strawberries into small pieces. Melt the unsalted butter until fully liquid.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and glossy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract for depth of flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt to avoid lumps and ensure even mixing.
- Fold Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding gently to maintain a light texture while mixing evenly.
- Add Strawberries and Bake: Carefully fold in chopped strawberries, reserving a few for topping if desired. Pour batter into prepared pan, smooth the surface, and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
- Don’t overmix to avoid tough brownies; fold just until combined.
- Choose ripe strawberries for maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Start checking doneness at 25 minutes to avoid drying out.
- Cool completely before cutting to prevent crumbling.
