Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup (30 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup (65 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 pint (about 2 cups) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup (180 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon (15 g) coconut oil or butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined. Do not overmix.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan.
  4. Once the brownies are cool, arrange the sliced strawberries evenly across the surface. Ensure the strawberries are dry to prevent the chocolate from sliding off.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth.
  6. Pour the melted chocolate over the strawberries, spreading it evenly to coat them. Work quickly before the chocolate begins to set.
  7. Place the brownies in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm. Use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out of the pan, then slice and serve.

Notes

Ensure strawberries are completely dry before adding to prevent the chocolate from sliding off. Chill the brownies before slicing for clean edges.
