Strawberry Brownies Recipe

Introduction

Strawberry brownies offer a delightful twist on traditional brownies by using strawberry cake mix for a fruity, tender treat. They are easy to make and topped with a sweet glaze that adds just the right amount of sweetness.

Ingredients

• 1 box Strawberry Cake Mix
• 1/2 cup oil
• 2 eggs
• 1–2 tbsp milk
• 1 cup confectioners sugar

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8 or 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper and lightly spray it with non-stick spray.
2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, blend the cake mix, eggs, and oil until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
3. Step 3: Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool in the pan.
4. Step 4: While the brownies are cooling, whisk together the confectioners sugar and milk until the glaze reaches a drizzle consistency.
5. Step 5: Lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper and place them on a serving plate. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the top.
6. Step 6: Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing into squares and serving.

Tips & Variations

• For a thicker glaze, use less milk; for a thinner glaze, add more milk a little at a time.
• Add fresh chopped strawberries to the batter for extra fruitiness and texture.
• Sprinkle white chocolate chips on top before baking for a creamy contrast.

Storage

Store the strawberry brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat briefly in the microwave if you prefer them warm, but be careful not to melt the glaze.

FAQs

Can I use a different flavor cake mix?

Yes, you can substitute other flavors like vanilla or funfetti for a different twist, but the strawberry flavor is what makes these brownies unique.

Is it necessary to use parchment paper?

Using parchment paper makes it easier to lift the brownies out of the pan and helps prevent sticking, but you can grease the pan well if you don’t have parchment.

Notes

• Use full-fat vegetable oil for best texture; substitutes may affect moisture.
• Adjust milk in the glaze carefully to get desired thickness.
• For extra flavor, consider adding vanilla extract or chopped strawberries to the batter.
• Ensure brownies are fully cooled before glazing to prevent melting.
• Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
