Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 8-10 fresh strawberries, hulled
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Prepare your baking dish by greasing an 8x8-inch square pan or lining it with parchment paper.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring to avoid burning.
  • Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar into the melted butter and stir until combined.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  • Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out, then place the hulled strawberries on top, cut side up.
  • Pour the remaining brownie batter over the strawberries, ensuring they are covered.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
  • Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes.
  • Prepare the chocolate ganache by heating the heavy cream until it simmers, then stirring in the chocolate chips until smooth.
  • Once the brownies have cooled, drizzle the ganache generously over the top and allow it to set before cutting into squares.

Notes

You can use almond flour for a gluten-free option. For an egg substitute, use unsweetened applesauce or mashed bananas. Melt butter in the microwave to save time.
