Strawberry Brownies Recipe

Hi Fantabulosity readers. It’s Meg again from Meg’s Everyday Indulgence bringing you an easy and adorably pink dessert.

Easy with Strawberry Cake Mix

Sometimes I love a from-scratch dessert but more often than not, that sweet tooth strikes and you want dessert now. That’s where these Strawberry Brownies come in.

They start with a strawberry cake mix to make these a cinch to whip up. We’re talking less than 5 minutes from start to in the oven.

Ingredients for Strawberry Brownies

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Strawberry cake mix
• Eggs
• Vegetable or canola oil
• Vanilla extract
• Powdered sugar
• Strawberry jam
• Milk

Brownie Batter

Start by making the batter. In a large bowl, stir together the strawberry cake mix, 2 eggs and oil.

The batter will be thick so keep at it until the ingredients come together. Press the batter into a greased 8×8 baking pan.

You can also line the baking pan with parchment or foil if you prefer.

Bake the brownies until they are just cooked through. You want that thick, dense texture like a brownie and overcooking will create a more cake-like texture.

Brownie Frosting

The simple glaze is optional but adds a whole other dimension to the strawberry brownies so I definitely recommend it.

Whisk together the powdered sugar, strawberry jam and milk until you reach a thick consistency. Spread over the cooled brownies.

Not only does the glaze add more sweetness to the brownies but it also provides another pop of strawberry flavor.

How to Store Strawberry Brownies

Because of the frosting, these brownies will easily stick together. Because of this, you should store them in a single layer in an airtight container.

You can also layer parchment paper between layers if you need to stack them. Just be aware some of the frosting may stick as it doesn’t harden.

They are best when consumed within 4 days.

A Fun Recipe to Make with Kids

If you find yourself stuck at home and need a fun activity to do with the kids, these strawberry brownies are a great option. Kiddos can mix them up all on their own and have fun pressing the batter into the pan.

Fun and Tasty Additions:

These brownies are great on their own or jazzed up with the simple strawberry frosting. But if you’re feeling extra fancy, here’s some more fun mix-in ideas:

• White chocolate chips
• Dark chocolate chips
• Sprinkles
• Freeze dried strawberries on top or pulverized and mixed into the batter

I don’t recommend adding in fresh strawberries to this recipe. Why? Fresh strawberries contain lots of water and as they bake, they release that water which would negatively affect the texture of the finished product.

Because of their beautiful color, strawberry brownies would be perfect for many different occasions.

They would make a festive dessert for Valentine’s Day, Easter, baby showers, and girls nights. When would you serve these delicious strawberry brownies?
