Strawberry Brownies

Strawberry Brownies

Ever had a dessert so simple yet so satisfying, you ended up making it on repeat? That’s exactly what happens with these Strawberry Brownies. They’re made from strawberry cake mix and a handful of easy ingredients—but don’t be fooled. The end result is thick, fudgy, pink perfection with that just-right chew. Let’s dive into the easiest brownie recipe you’ll make this year.

Ingredients

You probably have most of these already:

  • 1 box strawberry cake mix – Go with a trusted brand like Pillsbury for best texture.

  • 2 large eggs – These help bind the batter and create that chewy bite.

  • ⅓ cup vegetable or canola oil – Keeps things moist and rich.

Optional Strawberry Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 2 tablespoons strawberry preserves

  • 1–2 tablespoons milk (any kind)

  • Cream cheese (optional, about 2 oz softened)

Instructions

1. Mix the Batter

In a bowl, combine your cake mix, eggs, and oil. Stir it up until a thick, dough-like batter forms.

2. Prep and Bake

  • Line a glass baking dish with parchment paper.

  • Press the batter in evenly using your hands or a spatula.

  • Bake at 350°F for 18 to 22 minutes until just set. Don’t overbake — the center should feel slightly soft.

3. Make the Glaze

While the brownies cool, whisk together powdered sugar, strawberry jam, and milk. Add cream cheese if you want a thicker, richer frosting. Pour or spread over cooled brownies.

Notes

  1. Avoid fresh strawberries in the batter, as they release water when baking and may create soggy spots.

  2. Store them in a single layer, or layer with parchment if stacking—especially if frosted. These brownies stay fresh for 3–4 days in the fridge or on the counter (unfrosted).
