Make rich, fudgy strawberry brownies that swirl fresh berry flavor into a decadent chocolate base. This simple recipe delivers a homemade dessert that is perfect for a sweet afternoon treat.

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
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely mashed into a puree
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for extra richness)
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced (for swirl)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and 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. Fold in the white chocolate chips, if using.
  6. Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Gently dollop the mashed strawberry puree over the batter. Drop small spoonfuls of the diced strawberries over the puree layer.
  8. Pour the remaining brownie batter over the top. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the puree and diced strawberries into the top layer of batter.
  9. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The edges should look set, and a toothpick inserted near the center should come out with moist crumbs attached, not wet batter.
  10. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares.

Notes

  • For a brighter strawberry flavor, you can add 1/4 teaspoon of strawberry extract to the puree mixture.
  • If you prefer a thicker, chewier brownie, use an 8×8 inch pan and increase the baking time by about 5 to 10 minutes.
  • You can make a simple strawberry glaze using powdered sugar and a little strawberry juice to drizzle over the cooled brownies for an extra sweet finish.
