Ingredients
  

For the brownies
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature or cut into chunks
  • 2 cups granulated sugar Reduce to 1 3/4 cups for less sweetness.
  • 4 large eggs Ensure eggs are fully cooked during baking.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Can replace with a gluten-free baking flour blend.
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder Dutch-processed gives extra depth.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8-12 medium fresh strawberries, hulled and patted dry You can use frozen, but thaw and dry them first.
  • Chocolate for melting semi-sweet or dark Use for coating on top.
  • optional sprinkles or chopped nuts For topping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 8×8 or 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment, leaving an overhang.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until just liquid. Remove from heat and stir in sugar until mostly dissolved and glossy.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, stirring thoroughly after each addition. Whisk in vanilla until the mixture is shiny and slightly thickened.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry mix into the wet batter until just combined.
  5. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Arrange hulled strawberries in a single layer over the batter.
  6. Spoon the remaining batter over the strawberries and smooth the top. Tap the pan gently to remove air bubbles.
Baking
  1. Bake for 25–30 minutes. A toothpick inserted should come out with moist crumbs.
  2. Cool the pan on a rack until room temperature. Melt chocolate as per package directions and drizzle it over cooled brownies.
  3. Sprinkle with chopped nuts or sprinkles if desired. Let the chocolate set for 20–30 minutes before slicing.
