Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil (for melting chocolate)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Sift in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
- Arrange the sliced strawberries over the cooled brownies in a single layer.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the strawberries and spread evenly to cover them.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
- Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Use fresh, dry strawberries to avoid excess moisture.
- Store leftovers in the fridge to keep the chocolate firm and strawberries fresh.
- You can use dark chocolate for a richer taste.
