  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Brownie Batter

  • Cooking spray, for greasing
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks

Topping

  • 3 cups strawberries, stems removed
  • Chocolate melting wafers, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, melted butter, water, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together sugar, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, confectioners’ sugar, and kosher salt thoroughly until evenly mixed.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently mix just until combined to avoid overmixing, which can affect brownie texture.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold the chocolate chips or chunks into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until the brownies are set in the center and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Cool the Brownies: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan to firm up and make slicing easier.
  8. Add Strawberries: Once cooled, arrange the strawberries on top of the brownies with the cut side facing down for an attractive presentation.
  9. Melt Chocolate and Drizzle: Melt the chocolate wafers following the package instructions. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the strawberries, creating an appealing finish. Allow the chocolate to firm up before serving.
  10. Serve: Slice the brownies and serve them as a delicious dessert or snack.

Notes

  • You may substitute melted chocolate chips for the chocolate melting wafers when drizzling over the strawberries.
  • Ensure brownies are completely cooled before adding strawberries and drizzling chocolate to prevent melting and sliding.
  • For best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries to complement the rich brownie flavors.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
