Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 box strawberry cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup white chocolate chips (optional)
- ½ cup diced fresh strawberries (optional)
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir until a thick and smooth batter forms, ensuring ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Add Optional Ingredients: If desired, gently fold in the white chocolate chips and diced fresh strawberries to add texture and enhance flavor.
- Spread Batter: Evenly spread the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top for uniform baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, indicating perfect doneness.
- Cool Brownies: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan. This helps them set and makes glazing easier.
- Prepare Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk (start with 1 tablespoon and add more if needed), and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.
- Glaze Brownies: Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled brownies. Let the glaze set for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve: Slice into 9 squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious strawberry brownies!
Notes
- For extra strawberry flavor, stir in 1 tablespoon of strawberry jam into the batter before baking.
- These brownies are best stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- Optional ingredients like white chocolate chips and fresh strawberries add texture and flavor but can be omitted for simplicity.
