Brownies with Strawberries

This recipe boasts the flavors of strawberries and vanilla along with chocolate for a rich and well-rounded dessert.
Prep Time:10 minutes
Cook Time:22 minutes
Total Time:32 minutes
Servings:16 brownies

Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour +2 more tablespoons
  • ¾ cup milk chocolate chips
  • ¾ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 6 ounces strawberries about 5 large strawberries, thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. Leave some parchment paper hanging over both ends of the pan for easy removal later. Set aside.
  • Add the butter and sugar to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-second intervals while stirring in-between until the butter has melted completely. Mix in the eggs, baking powder, salt, and vanilla.
  • Mix in the cocoa powder and flour until well combined and smooth. Then fold in the chocolate chips and transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan. Evenly drop the sliced strawberries into the top of the batter.
  • Bake for about 22 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out moist with a few crumbs. Remove from oven and let cool. Lift the brownie out of the pan using the parchment paper and slice it into squares. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Want to try a different type of fruit? I expect cherries would work or even peaches or apricot for a brand new take on fruit brownies.
  • If a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean, they are overcooked and will be dry and cakey. If it comes out moist with just a couple of crumbs, they're perfectly done, so check as soon as you spot the edges coming away from the pan.
  • Serve these with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (and strawberry sauce) for a fancy presentation.
