Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup (94 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1/3 cup (35 g) unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup (about 150 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
  • 1/2 cup (90 g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips, melted
  • Pinch of sea salt flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking pan lightly with butter or non-stick spray. Line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup and to help lift the brownies out later.
  2. Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl for about 30 seconds or until just melted. Let it cool slightly before mixing.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and melted butter until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is glossy and thick.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Combine until no dry flour remains, being careful not to overmix.
  6. Hull and halve the strawberries, then gently dip each half into the melted chocolate. Place them on a plate lined with parchment paper to set for a few minutes.
  7. Pour half the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
  8. Arrange the chocolate-covered strawberries cut side down over the batter layer, leaving small gaps between each berry.
  9. Top with the remaining batter, spreading gently over the strawberries to cover them completely.
  10. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs but no raw batter.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes.
  12. Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate over the cooled brownies and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes if desired.
  13. Slice into squares and serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Dip strawberries thoroughly in melted chocolate to prevent sogginess. Use room temperature eggs to avoid curdling the batter. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep brownies fudgy. Let brownies cool before slicing for clean cuts. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond flour or gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use coconut oil and dairy-free chocolate chips.
