Ingredients
For the Brownies:
-
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
-
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1/3 cup (40g) unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
-
1/4 tsp salt
-
1/4 tsp baking powder
For the Toppings:
-
1 1/2 cups (about 12) fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
-
1 1/2 cups (270g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
-
1 tbsp coconut oil (or butter)
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
-
Make the brownie batter by whisking melted butter and sugar until combined. Add eggs and vanilla, then mix well.
-
Sift in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir gently until just combined.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
-
Cool the brownies completely before adding the toppings.
-
Arrange the strawberry halves evenly over the cooled brownies.
-
Melt the chocolate with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth.
-
Pour the melted chocolate over the strawberries, spreading it evenly to cover them completely.
-
Chill the brownies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate sets.
-
Slice into squares and serve.
Notes
-
Let the brownies sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before slicing to prevent the chocolate from cracking.
-
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
-
For a decorative touch, drizzle with white chocolate or sprinkle with chopped nuts.
