Ingredients

Scale

1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure the oven is ready when you start baking.

Step 2: Prepare the Baking Dish

Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper to facilitate easy removal of the brownies.

Step 3: Mix the Strawberry Batter

In a medium mixing bowl, combine melted chocolate, butter, and sugar. Stir in the eggs one at a time until well incorporated. Mix in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour and mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.

Step 4: Bake the Brownies

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 5: Cool and Slice

Once baked, remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares.

Notes

Note 1: Strawberry Freshness

For the best flavor, use ripe and fresh strawberries. This will enhance the taste of the brownies significantly.

Note 2: Chocolate Choice

You can use semi-sweet or dark chocolate based on your preference for a richer or sweeter brownie.

Note 3: Storage Tips

Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to four days, or refrigerate for a longer shelf life.
