HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY BROWNIES:
Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Spray an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray then line the bottom with parchment paper, making sure it comes up at least two of the sides, and set aside (this will help with removing the brownies later.) Spraying the pan before putting in the parchment paper helps the paper stick to the pan better so it’s not moving around on ya when you go to pt the batter in.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the cake mix, eggs, melted butter, and strawberry extract until combined. The batter will be very thick.Â
FAQ
Q1. What other extracts can I use?
We used a strawberry extract to really boost the strawberry flavoring but you can swap this out for some other one that will compliment the flavors as well. Try a lemon extract, raspberry extract, or even an orange extract or just leave it out altogether.
Q2. Can I add anything else?
Certainly, try adding a handful of baking chips, maybe some white chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips to the batter to add a little chocolate flavor to the brownies.
Q3. Can I double this recipe?
Certainly! If you double this brownie recipe, I recommend using a 9×13-inch baking dish rather than the 8×8-inch dish we normally used and you’ll need to adjust the baking time accordingly.
Q4. Could I use a different cake mix?
Yes but obviously this will give you a completely different flavor. You could use white or vanilla cake mix along with the other strawberry flavors. Or maybe even a chocolate cake mix for a chocolate covered strawberry vibe.
Q5. How to store leftovers?
Leftover Strawberry Brownies should be stored in an airtight container and can be kept for up to 3 days.
Q6. Can I freeze brownies?
Yes, you can freeze these brownies for up to 3 months in an airtight container or freezer bag.
