Strawberry Brownies Recipe

Introduction

These strawberry brownies offer a delicious twist on a classic treat, combining the fruity flavor of strawberry cake mix with creamy white chocolate chips. Topped with a smooth and sweet buttercream frosting, they’re perfect for any dessert table or snack time.

Ingredients

• 15.25 oz strawberry cake mix
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 2-3 cups powdered sugar (approximately)
• 2 tablespoons milk (approximately)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350º F. Line an 8 or 9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease and flour it thoroughly.
2. Step 2: In a bowl, mix together the strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs until the batter is well combined and smooth. It will be thick.
3. Step 3: Fold in the white chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
4. Step 4: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a tester inserted comes out mostly clean.
5. Step 5: Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan.
6. Step 6: To make the frosting, cream the softened butter until fluffy. Add vanilla extract, milk, and half of the powdered sugar. Gradually add more powdered sugar until you achieve a spreadable consistency, adjusting milk or sugar as needed.
7. Step 7: Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled brownies. Cut into bars and serve.

Tips & Variations

• For extra texture, try adding chopped strawberries or nuts to the batter before baking.
• Swap the white chocolate chips for regular or dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
• Use cream cheese instead of butter in the frosting for a tangy twist.

Storage

Store the frosted brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week and allow them to come to room temperature before serving. You can also freeze the unfrosted brownies for up to 2 months; thaw completely and frost before serving.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use a different cake mix flavor?

Yes, you can experiment with other flavors, but keep in mind it will change the overall taste of the brownies. Strawberry mix complements the white chocolate well for a light, fruity flavor.

Do I need to grease the pan if I use parchment paper?

If you line the pan with parchment paper, greasing is not necessary. However, greasing and flouring the pan works well too and helps prevent sticking.

• 2 whole large eggs

Vanilla Buttercream Frosting

• 2–3 cups powdered sugar (approximately)
• 2 tablespoons milk (approximately)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

---

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350º F (175º C) and line an 8 or 9 inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease and flour it thoroughly to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs, stirring until the mixture is smooth and well blended. The batter will be quite thick.
3. Add white chocolate chips: Fold the white chocolate chips into the batter evenly to distribute the sweetness throughout.
4. Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a tester; it should come out mostly clean but may have a few moist crumbs.
5. Cool the brownies: Remove the pan from the oven and let the brownies cool completely before frosting to ensure the frosting does not melt.
6. Make the frosting: Using a mixer, cream the softened butter until fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, milk, and half of the powdered sugar, mixing well. Gradually add more powdered sugar until you reach a spreadable consistency. Adjust with milk or powdered sugar as needed.
7. Frost the brownies: Spread the prepared vanilla buttercream frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.

Notes

• You can substitute white chocolate chips with regular chocolate chips or even freeze-dried strawberries for an extra burst of flavor.
• Make sure the brownies are completely cooled before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
• For firmer frosting, refrigerate the frosted brownies for about 30 minutes before serving.
• Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up.
