Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 356°F (180°C). Line a 21x21 cm (8.25x8.25 inch) baking tin with parchment paper. Ensure the parchment paper edges hang over the sides for easy brownie removal.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and chopped dark chocolate over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth and well combined. To avoid burning, use a double boiler if you prefer.

Step 3

Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the sugar, mixing well to combine. Allow the mixture to cool slightly so the eggs don't scramble in the next step.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly after each addition until the batter is smooth.

Step 5

Stir in the flour and salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure a fudgy texture.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin and spread it evenly. Use a spatula to smooth the top if necessary.

Step 7

Sprinkle the milk chocolate chips over the batter and add the sliced strawberries on top. Gently press them into the batter so they don't move during baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be sure not to overbake to maintain a fudgy texture.

Step 9

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the tin before lifting them out using the parchment paper and cutting them into squares.

Variations

For our gluten-free friends, simply swap the regular flour with a high-quality gluten-free flour blend. This little change keeps all the gooey goodness intact! 🤗

To make a vegan version, substitute the butter with a vegan margarine and use a flaxseed mix to replace the eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water per egg). Your vegan pals won’t believe how delectable these brownies are! 🌱🌟

Faq

  • Why are my brownies coming out dry?

    Check your oven temperature and ensure you're not overbaking. Stick to the suggested baking time of 35 minutes.

  • Can I use any type of chocolate?

    It’s best to use high-quality dark chocolate for the richest flavor, but you can experiment with semi-sweet or milk chocolate if preferred.

  • How do I know when my brownies are done?

    Insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.

  • Can I add nuts to this recipe?

    Absolutely! Chopped walnuts or pecans make a great addition. Fold them into the batter before baking for an extra crunch.

  • Can I double this recipe?

    Yes, you can. Just make sure to use a larger baking tin to accommodate the increased volume.

  • Why do my brownies sink in the middle?

    This can happen if the batter is overmixed or if the brownies are underbaked. Ensure you're following the steps carefully for best results.
