How to make Strawberry Mint Brownies
To make these strawberry brownies, simply add the butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt to a microwave-safe bowl, and heat in 30 second intervals, stirring after each one, until the butter is melted and the mixture feels very warm/hot to the touch.
Mix in the eggs, then stir in the peppermint extract. Fold in the flour until fully combined, then fold in the chocolate chips. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
Pour the batter into an 8×8-inch square baking pan lined with foil or parchment paper, and spread out evenly.
Top with a few extra strawberry halves if desired, then bake for 35 – 40 minutes, or until no longer jiggly in the centre, and a toothpick inserted comes out almost clean with a few moist crumbs.
Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements.
Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.
