# Ingredient List:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
02 - 2 large eggs, at room temperature
03 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
04 - 1/2 cup strawberry puree, fresh or frozen, pureed and strained

09 - 1 cup powdered sugar
10 - 2 to 3 tablespoons strawberry puree

# How to Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, and strawberry puree. Whisk until thoroughly blended.
03 - Add eggs and vanilla extract to the mixture. Mix until fully smooth.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
05 - Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
06 - Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
07 - Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center yields a few moist crumbs.
08 - Let the baked brownies cool completely in the pan before glazing.
09 - In a bowl, whisk powdered sugar, strawberry puree, and lemon juice until smooth and pourable.
10 - Spread glaze evenly over cooled brownies. Allow glaze to set for 15 minutes, then cut into squares for serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Strawberry brownies are secretly easier than they look thanks to a few simple prep tricks.
  • Each square bursts with pure strawberry flavor, so every bite tastes like spring no matter the season.
02 -
  • Trying to slice these before fully cooled always ends with a sticky mess—patience really pays off here.
  • Swapping part of the puree for strawberry jam brings out even deeper berry flavors, especially if your strawberries aren’t peak sweet.
03 -
  • Strain the strawberry puree if you want super smooth brownies and glaze—seeds can sneak in otherwise.
  • Adding the glaze only after the brownies are completely cool keeps it from melting into the top.
