How to Make Strawberry Brownies

Here are our best tips for making these easy Strawberry Brownies. See the full recipe for complete instructions.

1. Crush the Strawberries

Crush the freeze-dried strawberries in a resealable food-storage plastic bag with a rolling pin. You can also use a mini food processor if you have one.

2. Make the Dough

Mix some of the strawberry powder with the strawberry cake mix, butter, and eggs to form a bright pink dough. Press the dough into the pan. If the dough is too sticky, try wetting your hands.

3. Bake and Glaze

These brownies bake up in under 20 minutes! The easy glaze includes more strawberry powder and is poured onto the brownies right after they come out of the oven.

Cool the brownies completely before cutting them. They will be easier to handle and the texture improves as they cool.
