HOW TO MAKE STRAWBERRY BROWNIES USING CAKE MIX

Once you’ve gathered all your ingredients, preheat the oven to 350ºF, prepare a 9x9-inch baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray and follow the steps below for a sweet and simple strawberry treat!

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat strawberry cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla. 
2. Transfer batter to your prepared baking dish. 
3. Bake for 22-24 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. 
4. Allow the brownies to cool before frosting, then frost, garnish, cut and serve.

TIPS FOR MAKING STRAWBERRY CAKE MIX BROWNIES

• Add a strawberry whipped cream or glaze for even more strawberry flavor.
• These brownies taste great served with a scoop of ice cream!
• Use the toothpick test to ensure the brownies are fully cooked.
• If you still want some chocolate flavor, add dark chocolate or milk chocolate chips to the batter. You can also add chocolate drizzle atop the brownies.

WHAT OTHER TOPPINGS CAN I ADD TO STRAWBERRY CAKE MIX BROWNIES?

Some other toppings that will taste great with these strawberry brownies include sprinkles or white chocolate chips.

You can also add strawberry jam, powdered sugar, or make a vanilla lemon glaze by mixing vanilla frosting with lemon zest.

CAN I ADD EXTRA STRAWBERRIES TO THE BATTER?

Sure! If you'd like more strawberry flavor, go ahead and add extra strawberry pieces into the batter before baking! About 1 or 1.5 cups of chopped fresh or frozen strawberries should do the job.

If using frozen strawberries, be sure to thaw and drain them before adding them to the batter.
