Why This Recipe Works

Key Ingredients

When it comes to the key ingredients for this recipe, there are a few things to keep in mind. First and foremost, make sure to use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. We recommend using Guittard or Callebaut for their rich, intense flavor and smooth texture. For the strawberries, choose fresh and ripe ones, and dice them just before using so they’re nice and tender. Finally, if you want to add some crunch to your brownies, a handful of chopped walnuts is a great idea.

As for the sugar, don’t be shy – you want to make sure it’s extra-fine granulated so it dissolves easily and evenly. We prefer to use C&H for their distinctive flavor and crystal-clear texture. And lastly, use real butter for its rich, creamy flavor and moisture. We like European-style salted butter for its stronger, more complex taste.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

2 cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup diced strawberries

1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan and line it with parchment paper.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.

Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval, until smooth.

Fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, then stir in the melted chocolate and chopped nuts (if using).

Storage & Reheating

Store cooled brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or wrap individually for up to 5 days. To reheat, thaw the brownies at room temperature for 30 minutes or in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
