Instructions

Prepare the Batter:

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  2. Prepare the Strawberry Puree: Blend or mash fresh strawberries until smooth. Measure out 1 cup of puree.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until well combined.
  5. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Incorporate the Strawberry Puree: Mix in the strawberry puree until fully combined.
  7. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Add White Chocolate Chips (Optional): Gently fold in the white chocolate chips for extra sweetness.
  9. Enhance the Color (Optional): If you prefer a more vibrant pink, add a drop or two of red or pink food coloring.

Bake the Brownies:

  1. Pour the Batter: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  2. Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  3. Cool: Let the brownies cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
