Equipment
- 9" x 9" baking dish
Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries about 18–20 medium berries, hulled and quartered
- ½ cup butter melted and cooled
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips melted, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F, line a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper, and set aside.
- Place strawberries in a food processor. Blend the strawberries until smooth.
- Transfer strawberry purée to a small sauce pan and heat over medium-low heat. Strawberries should start to simmer and thicken.
- Allow strawberry mixture to simmer about 10–15 minutes or until reduced by about half. You want your strawberry purée to have a thick, jammy texture.
- Remove strawberry mixture from heat and allow to cool. Then transfer to a large bowl and whisk together with butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Mix together until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the flour mixture to the strawberry mixture. Stir until the batter is smooth.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
- Melt the chocolate chips by microwaving in 30 second increments in a small microwave-safe bowl. Drizzle over the top of the brownies. (This step is optional.)
- Cut brownies into squares and serve. You can store your brownies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
