tips to make Strawberry Brownies

• Use ripe firm strawberries. Too wet fruit can make batter thin.
• Chop fruit into small pieces so it spreads well.
• Do not over mix after you add flour. Mix just until you see no dry bits.
• If you want a richer taste, add a little espresso powder. For a main meal match, try serving with a hearty dish like beef shank recipes at a family dinner.

variation (if any)

• Add white chocolate chips for a sweet white swirl.
• Use freeze-dried strawberry powder for a strong pink color.
• Make mini muffins with the same batter for bite-size treats.

FAQs

Q: Can I make these gluten free?
A: Yes. Use a 1:1 gluten free flour mix the same amount.

Q: How do I know when they are done?
A: A toothpick should come out with a few moist crumbs, not wet batter.

Q: Can I skip the white chocolate chips?
A: Yes. The brownies taste great without them.
