Description
These homemade, fudgy chocolate strawberry brownies are made from scratch. They are moist and rich with pockets of luscious strawberries. They only use one bowl (less tidying up) and simple pantry ingredients. An easy recipe to follow and easier to eat!
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, hot melted butter.
1 tablespoon oil (light olive oil, coconut oil, or canola oil)
1 cup white granulated sugar (or castor sugar)
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chocolate chips
8 fresh strawberries (about 1/3 cup) finely diced
8 fresh strawberries sliced for the topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch baking pan. You can also line the pan with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter, then add the oil to the hot butter. Whisk in the sugar until well combined (for about 1 minute).
- Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract. Mix for another minute. The ingredients will lighten in color and become creamy in texture.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Don't over-mix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
- Cut and slice the strawberries and place them over the top of the batter, pressing them in slightly.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly gooey. You can test this by inserting a toothpick. It is ready to remove if the toothpick comes out moist with a few crumbs. Do not overcook the brownies.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them into squares.
Notes
Remove from Oven Promptly: As soon as you notice that the edges of the brownies are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging to it (rather than wet batter), remove them from the oven immediately. Even if they seem slightly underdone, they will continue to cook slightly as they cool.
