Description

These Strawberry Brownies are a fruity twist on the classic chocolate treat—soft, fudgy, and packed with real strawberry flavor. Made with strawberry puree and crushed freeze-dried strawberries, they’re moist, dense, and optionally topped with a pink or white glaze.

Ingredients

1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted

1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup (120g) strawberry puree (from fresh or thawed frozen strawberries)

1/2 teaspoon salt

3/4 cup (95g) all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 cup (25g) freeze-dried strawberries, crushed

Optional: pink or white glaze (powdered sugar + milk or lemon juice)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined and slightly thickened.
Stir in the strawberry puree and crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
Optionally, drizzle with glaze before slicing into squares.

Notes

Add chopped white chocolate or chocolate chips for contrast.

Use strawberry extract instead of vanilla for deeper strawberry flavor.

Add a few drops of natural red food coloring for a more vibrant color.

Top with cream cheese frosting instead of glaze for a richer dessert.

Serve with whipped cream and fresh berries for a layered treat.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 2 months.

To reheat, microwave for 10–15 seconds for a fudgy texture.
