Strawberry Brownies (Printable)
Fudgy brownies infused with strawberry puree, finished with a sweet strawberry glaze.
# What You'll Need:
→ Wet Ingredients
01 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
02 - 2 large eggs, room temperature
03 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
04 - 1/2 cup strawberry puree, strained (fresh or frozen)
→ Dry Ingredients
05 - 1 cup granulated sugar
06 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
07 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
08 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Strawberry Glaze
09 - 1 cup powdered sugar
10 - 2 to 3 tablespoons strawberry puree
11 - 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk melted butter, granulated sugar, and strawberry puree until fully incorporated.
03 - Blend eggs and vanilla extract into the mixture until smooth.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
05 - Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
06 - Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and level the surface with a spatula. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center yields moist crumbs.
07 - Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan.
08 - In a bowl, whisk powdered sugar, strawberry puree, and lemon juice (if using) until glaze is smooth and pourable.
09 - Spread glaze evenly over cooled brownies. Let set for 15 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The strawberry flavor shines through so vibrantly, youll swear the brownies just picked the berries themselves.
- They come together quickly and always bring a pop of color and fun to the treat table.
02 -
- I learned the hard way that rushing the cooling process makes the glaze slip off—wait until the brownies are fully cool.
- Pureeing and straining fresh strawberries for both batter and glaze makes the flavor utterly fresh—worth the extra step every time.
03 -
- Lining the pan with parchment guarantees easy, pretty squares every time.
- Letting the glaze set fully means you get clean slices and less sticky fingers.
