Strawberry Brownies Recipe
Strawberry Brownies are a super simple springtime dessert that comes together easily with just a few pantry ingredients (cake mix!) and some fresh strawberries.
Servings: 15 brownies
Ingredients
- 13.25 ounce Box strawberry cake mix
- 1/3 cup Vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 Large egg
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
Glaze (optional)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Seedless strawberry jam
- 4 tablespoons Heavy cream (may need up to 6 tablespoons)
- Fresh strawberries optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a 7x11" or 8-9" square baking dish with parchment paper or foil and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer set to medium speed, combine the vegetable oil, egg(s), and cream cheese (if using) until well combined. Add in the strawberry cake mix, mixing until thoroughly combined. The batter will be very thick.
- Press the batter into the prepared baking dish with a silicone spatula or your fingers if necessary.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until edges are starting to brown and center looks mostly set. A toothpick should come out clean when poked into the center.
- Cool completely before glazing.
- After brownies have cooled completely, whisk the glaze ingredients in a medium bowl. You want an icing that has a pourable, but thick consistency. Start with 4 tablespoons of heavy cream, add in extra heavy cream a teaspoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
- Pour desired amount of glaze on top of brownies. Allow to set at least 15 minutes. The glaze will become crisp the longer it’s allowed to sit.
- Cut brownies into 9 pieces and top each with a halved strawberry immediately before serving.
Notes
- For a less gooey brownie, omit the cream cheese and add an extra egg.
- Make sure to dry out the strawberry slices. This will help keep your brownies from becoming soggy.
