Ingredients
  

For the Strawberry Brownies:

1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

For the Creamy Frosting:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tablespoons heavy cream

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon fresh strawberries, finely chopped (for flavor and color)

Instructions
 

Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Make the Strawberry Puree: In a blender or food processor, blend the fresh strawberries until smooth. You should have about 1 cup of puree.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Mix well until combined. Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and strawberry puree and stir until smooth.

        Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

          Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing. If using, gently fold in the chocolate chips.

            Bake the Brownies: Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

              Prepare the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Mix in the heavy cream and vanilla extract until well combined. Finally, fold in the finely chopped strawberries for an extra strawberry kick.

                Frost the Brownies: Once the brownies are completely cool, spread a generous layer of creamy frosting over the top. Cut into squares and serve!
