Description

These decadent Strawberry Brownies combine the rich, fudgy texture of classic chocolate brownies with the fresh, fruity flavor of strawberry puree. Marbled with vibrant swirls of strawberry, these brownies offer a delightful balance of sweet and tart in every bite, perfect for berry lovers and chocolate fans alike.

Ingredients

Brownie Batter

  • 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1½ cups butter
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate
  • 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • ⅔ cup light brown sugar
  • 6 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Strawberry Puree

  • 9 ounces fresh or frozen strawberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the brownies later.
  2. Make strawberry puree: Place fresh or frozen strawberries into a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth. Pass the puree through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds, resulting in a smooth, seedless mixture. Set aside for the swirl.
  3. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt evenly to ensure consistent distribution in the batter.
  4. Melt chocolate and butter: In a saucepan over low heat, gently melt the butter with the chocolate, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat to prevent burning.
  5. Combine wet ingredients: Into the melted chocolate mixture, whisk in the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and homogeneous.
  6. Add dry ingredients: Gently fold the flour and salt mixture into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Fold just until combined to avoid overmixing, which can toughen the brownies.
  7. Prepare for baking: Pour the brownie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Drizzle the strawberry puree evenly over the top.
  8. Create swirl effect: Using a knife, gently swirl the strawberry puree through the brownie batter to create a marbled pattern without fully mixing it.
  9. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 35 minutes. Rotate the pan halfway through baking to ensure even cooking. The brownies are done when the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Notes

  • Using room temperature eggs helps the batter combine more smoothly and ensures even baking.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added; overmixing can lead to dense, tough brownies.
  • If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain excess liquid before blending to avoid a watery puree.
  • Check brownies starting at 25 minutes to prevent overbaking and drying out.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting to maintain clean slices and let the flavors set.
