Fudgy chocolate brownies swirled with strawberry puree and topped with a glossy strawberry glaze.

# What You'll Need:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
02 - 2 large eggs, at room temperature
03 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
04 - 1/2 cup strawberry puree, fresh or frozen, pureed and strained

→ 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 the oven to 350°F. Grease and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, blend the melted butter, granulated sugar, and strawberry puree until thoroughly combined.
03 - Add eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture. Whisk until smooth and fully emulsified.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
05 - Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, ensuring not to over-mix.
06 - Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
07 - Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center yields a few moist crumbs.
08 - Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before glazing.
09 - Whisk together powdered sugar, strawberry puree, and lemon juice (if using) until smooth and pourable.
10 - Spread glaze over the cooled brownies. Allow to set for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.

# Expert Suggestions:

  • Baking these means your kitchen will smell sweeter than any candle, and that's half the fun.
  • Each bite delivers strawberry flavor that makes the classic brownie taste feel playful and light for gatherings—people always ask for the recipe.
02 -
  • Once I sliced the brownies while they were still warm—the glaze turned into a sticky mess.
  • Pureeing and straining the strawberries instead of using jam gives the brightest flavor and color by far.
