I was inspired by my favorite local cupcakes – the strawberry cupcakes from Abby Girl Sweets. The thing I love about them is the chunks of real strawberry you get in every bite! So when I made strawberry brownies – you’re getting strawberry flavor in every bite!

Ingredients for the Strawberriest Strawberry Brownies recipe

These chewy brownies are a delicious strawberry dessert recipe and they take little more than a box of cake mix and strawberries – how easy! 

  • Strawberry Cake Mix
    • You don’t have to use strawberry but I figure let’s go all in. Vanilla/White/Yellow flavor of cake mix would also work!
  • Vegetable Oil (or canola oil)
  • Large Eggs
  • Diced Strawberries

Ingredients for the Easy Brownie Glaze

  • ​Powdered sugar
  • Smashed strawberries
  • Vanilla

How to Make Strawberry Brownies using Cake Mix?

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line 8×8 square baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Lightly spray with cooking spray. 
    • This step is important because you’ll want to remove the brownies from the pan to glaze them – so the parchment makes it easy to lift them right out! 
  • Mix strawberry cake mix, oil, and eggs using a hand mixer in a large bowl
  • Fold in strawberries. Press cake mix dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. (This batter has a very thick texture!! It’s not a pourable batter!)
  • Bake brownies for 20 to 25 minutes. Check their doneness with a toothpick to make sure it comes out clean.
  • Allow brownies to cool for 10 minutes; lift carefully from pan using ends of parchment to lift.
  • For the frosting, stir together powdered sugar with the smashed strawberries (and extract if using) until smooth. It should be pourable but not watery.
    • You could also use strawberry jam instead of smashed berries
  • Pour glaze over brownies, spreading to edges so that glaze will drip down sides.
  • Allow brownies to cool and glaze to set before cutting into squares.

These Strawberry Cake Mix Brownies were a perfect use for the fresh strawberries I just purchased. Every bite was strawberrylicious! So fresh and a perfect summer dessert. They are a fairly cakey brownie but do stay together. I warmed up the brownies before serving them to make that glaze even more gooey! Yum!

How do I store leftover strawberry brownies?

Yes – be sure to use an airtight container. I like these glass meal prep containers – I use them for everything because they go from fridge to freezer to microwave so easily!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box strawberry cake mix
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups diced strawberries

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup smashed strawberries
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line 8×8 pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Lightly spray with cooking spray. 
  • Combine cake mix, oil, and eggs with a hand mixer
  • Fold in strawberries. Press cake mix dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. (It's very thick!! It's not a pourable batter)
  • Bake brownies for 20 to 25 minutes.

  • Allow brownies to cool and glaze to set before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • 8″ pans yield thicker brownies; 9″ pans yield thinner ones.
  • Batter will be very thick; use a good mixer to mix and spatula to spread.
  • Refrigerate baked and glazed brownies for an hour or so before cutting, and they will cut easier.

    It doesn’t say what to do with the two cups of strawberries.

      Updated – fold in after you mix cake, eggs and oil together.

    I made this recipe, exactly as it states. An 8×8 pan makes very thick brownies, in which 20-25 minutes was not enough time for brownies to cook completely. Next time I will use 9×13 pan.

      Baking times can vary slightly based on location, oven, etc. The pan I used is an “off size” and is about 7×10 so very similar in space to 8×8. Thanks for trying – I hope you liked them.
