Ingredients

For the Brownies:

1 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 ½ cups granulated sugar

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh strawberries, diced

For the Pink Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar

2-3 tablespoons strawberry puree (fresh or thawed frozen strawberries, blended)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

 

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, and gently fold into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Fold in the diced strawberries gently, distributing them evenly through the batter.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

While the brownies cool, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, strawberry puree, and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust thickness by adding more powdered sugar or puree as needed.

Once brownies are completely cool, drizzle the pink glaze over the top. Let the glaze set for about 15 minutes before slicing into squares.
