Fudgy strawberry brownies with a sweet puree glaze—quick to make, tender, and bursting with berry flavor.

# What You Need:

→ 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

06 - 1 cup all-purpose flour

→ Strawberry Glaze

09 - 1 cup powdered sugar
10 - 2 to 3 tablespoons strawberry puree
11 - 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, optional

# How To Make It:

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 Tips:

01 -
  • This recipe packs real strawberries right into the batter, making every bite juicy and bright.
  • It is the perfect dessert to brighten up dreary days or add a pop of color to a party table.
02 -
  • If the brownies bake too long, they lose their fudgy heart and lean dry—keep a close eye near the end.
  • Letting the brownies fully cool before glazing stops the glaze from melting off into a sticky puddle.
03 -
  • Let the brownies rest in the pan until fully cool or risk a messy crumble when removing them.
  • The extra minute you spend whisking the glaze until lump-free brings bakery-worthy shine every time.
