Strawberry Brownies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9x9" pan with parchment paper (optional, but will ensure the brownies remove easily!). Lightly grease the parchment paper or pan.

Step 2

Puree strawberries and strain to remove any seeds.

Step 3

In a large bowl, stir together cake mix and 3/4 cup strawberry puree -- you can use a sturdy spoon or an electric mixer. The batter will be thick, almost like cookie dough. This is what you want!

Step 4

Spread batter into pan using a greased spatula or press it in with your hands.

Step 5

Bake for 23-27 minutes, until set through the middle with no jiggles.

Step 6

Let cool to room temperature on the counter.

Step 7

Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk and pour over brownies. Refrigerate 2-3 hours before slicing and serving (optional, but recommended for clean slices!)
