Make these simple, fudgy strawberry brownies using a cake mix base and top them with a sweet vanilla glaze for a chewy, fruit-filled dessert bar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (18.25 ounces) strawberry cake mix
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  3. Gently fold in the finely chopped fresh strawberries.
  4. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. You want a fudgy texture, so avoid overbaking.
  6. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. This step is important before glazing.
  7. Prepare the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Add more milk, one teaspoon at a time, if the glaze is too thick.
  8. Once the brownies are cool, drizzle the vanilla glaze evenly over the top.
  9. Allow the glaze to set before cutting the brownies into squares.

Notes

  • For a stronger strawberry flavor, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of the milk in the glaze with strawberry preserves.
  • If you prefer a thicker, chewier brownie, reduce the baking time by 2-3 minutes.
  • These brownies are a great alternative when you are too busy for complex meal planning.
