recipe reviews for:

Strawberry Brownies

“These brownies are light and crumbly, with a punch of strawberry flavor. I made them one night with my boyfriend's daughter trying to teach her that there are no limits on what can be used when baking and cooking. I decided to use the fresh strawberries I had just purchased. I wouldn't suggest using frozen strawberries but if you do, defrost and drain well.”

I followed the recipe exactly as stated, only adding about a 1/4 cup of chocolate syrup to the mix.. came out amazing. crispy on top, soft and moist underneath with bits of sweet strawberry. As a side note, i had to cook mine for close to 43 mins to get it to the right consistency using an 8x8 square glass pan

Unappealing texture and a very underwhelming taste! The idea is good but I think it would be better executed using a traditional brownie recipe with fresh strawberries folded in.

I was looking for a recipe to use those strawberries that still have a little life but not much more -- these were interesting but not something I'd make again.

I love the idea of Strawberry brownies, and I took the advice of others and pureed the strawberries. I always try the batter before I make anything, and it was really tasty. Although when the finished product came out of the oven, I found they tasted too much like coco powder and not enough like chocolate, even after using chocolate chips. Will try again but with semi-sweet baking chocolate.

Delicious! I didn't read the reviews until after I had them in the oven, and was slightly unnerved after reading how so many people pureed all of the strawberries or didn't like the texture with whole sliced strawberries. I treated the strawberries exactly how the recipe intends and I am in LOVE with this dessert. I love the slightly strawberry taste of the brownies themselves, and the chunks of sliced strawberries are a fabulous addition. I did use a box of brownie mix, though, because I was out of cocoa powder. I followed the "fudge-like" recipe on the box, minus the water. (so 2 eggs and oil. the strawberry purree essentially replaced the water) The brownie mix I used was verrrry chocolately, which was wonderful, so if making from scratch I would recommend a strong chocolate taste (since I didn't use this brownie recipe, I can't many any suggestions in this regard). I liked baking in a pie dish as well because of the thickness (so 8x8 square pan would also work well, but I would definitely not recommend a 9x13 pan.)

I thought these were pretty good, but for me, (and maybe I didn't use enough strawberries, but I thought I did!) I could barely taste the strawberries through the chocolate. They tasted like chocolate brownies with a very slight hint of strawberry. The brownie was moist and soft though. I did also use all purpose flour instead of cake flour, as I had none..I just added a little baking powder, as well I pureed all the strawberries as other reviewers suggested! :) I will make again, but possibly use more strawberries next time, again, that could have been easily been an error on my part. :) Thanks for sharing! :)

very tasty chewy brownie! fruit chunks made some soggy spots. will puree all fruit next time to mix into batter. used frozen berries, and it seemed to work just fine. will make again soon!

These were pretty, smelled delicious and the flavor was great, but the texture was fudgelike and somewhat off-putting. I don't think I would make again.
