Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (113g), melted
  • 1 cup sugar (200g)
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (95g)
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder (50g), unsweetened
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Fresh Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients and Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for even mixing.
  2. Melt Butter and Mix with Sugar: Gently melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan or microwave. Pour melted butter into a mixing bowl and whisk in the sugar until combined and slightly glossy, helping sugar dissolve for a fudgy texture.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Break in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance flavor aroma.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until no streaks remain, being careful not to overmix to keep brownies tender.
  5. Fold in the Fresh Strawberries: Gently fold chopped fresh strawberries into the batter to add moisture, sweetness, and color.
  6. Bake and Cool: Pour batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing to maintain fudgy texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe, firm strawberries to avoid excess moisture and sogginess.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender crumb.
  • Use room temperature ingredients for smooth blending and uniform texture.
  • Check baking time carefully: slightly underbake for fudgier brownies, overbake for cakier ones.
  • Cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling and to set flavors.
