Ingredients and Supplies
To make strawberry brownies with cake mix, you will need the following ingredients:
For the strawberry brownies:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted (½ cup)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 15.25 oz box of strawberry cake mix
- ½ tsp salt
For the glaze:
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp strawberry preserves or jelly
- 1 tbsp milk
Directions for how to make the cake mix strawberry brownies:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8×8 or 9×9 glass pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Whisk together eggs, melted butter, and vanilla in a mixing bowl, and then add the cake mix and salt. Stir until combined. The mixture should be thick.
Pour the batter into the pan and press the mix evenly into the pan using a large spoon or spatula.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the edges are set and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
Directions for the strawberry glaze:
While the brownies are baking, combine the powdered sugar, strawberry preserves, and milk in a small bowl.
Spread the glaze over the cooled brownies.
Let the glaze set for a few hours to make cutting less messy.
Storing Leftovers
If you have any leftover strawberry brownies, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, wrap the brownies tightly in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
You can also freeze the brownies for up to 3 months. To freeze, wrap each brownie tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe container or bag. Thaw the brownies in the refrigerator overnight before serving.
Remember, the texture of the brownies may change slightly after freezing, but they will still be delicious!
Variations:
Instead of strawberry glaze, you can top with frosting! Try buttercream or cream cheese!
You can also add extras to the batter before baking, like white chocolate chips, fresh strawberries, walnuts or pecans, or cream cheese baking chips.
Serve finished strawberry brownies with fresh strawberries, whipped cream, or even strawberry ice cream!
