A recipe for rich, fudgy brownies studded with strawberries and topped with a bright, sweet strawberry glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries, halved or quartered
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 2 tablespoons strawberry puree or melted strawberry jam (for glaze)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. Lightly grease the paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and granulated sugar together until combined.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing only until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the brownies fudgy.
  6. Gently fold in the strawberries.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  10. Prepare the glaze: Whisk the powdered sugar, strawberry puree or jam, and lemon juice together until smooth. Add more powdered sugar if the glaze is too thin, or a few drops of water if it is too thick.
  11. Once the brownies are cool, pour the glaze over the top and spread evenly. Let the glaze set before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For a fudgier texture, slightly underbake the brownies by about 2 minutes.
  • If using frozen strawberries, do not thaw them before folding them into the batter.
  • For a stronger strawberry flavor in the glaze, use freeze-dried strawberry powder instead of puree.
