Servings: 16 brownies
Calories: 121kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ sticks (140g) unsalted butter
- 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (75g) cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs cold
- 2 teaspoons peppermint extract
- ½ cup (60g) plain/all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (90g) chocolate chips
- 1 cup (125g) strawberries chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Line an 8x8-inch square baking pan with foil or parchment paper, and set aside.
- Place the butter, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt into a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring after each one, until the butter is melted and the mixture feels very warm to the touch.
- Mix in the eggs, one at a time. Stir in the mint extract. Fold in the flour until fully combined, then fold in the chocolate chips. Gently fold in the strawberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and spread out evenly. Top with a few extra strawberry halves if desired, then bake for 35 - 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out almost clean with a few moist crumbs. Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
Notes
Brownies stay fresh, stored in an airtight container, in the fridge for up to 1 week. They also freeze well for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
