Ingredients You Need

- eggs
- vegetable or canola oil
- vanilla extract
- Optional: If you want cream cheese in brownies, add 3 Tablespoons or 1 1/2 ounces softened cream cheese and omit 1 egg.
- Optional: Add strawberry slices on top after pressed into pan or fold in 1/2 to 3/4 cup white chocolate chips to batter for more flavor options.

White Chocolate Drizzles

How to Make Strawberry Brownies
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, add the strawberry cake mix, oil and vanilla extract.
- Only add 1 egg if adding the softened cream cheese to the brownie batter, and use 2 eggs if not adding the cream cheese to the batter.
- Mix all the ingredients together and if adding white chocolate chips to batter, add them in halfway through while mixing. Batter will be thick and sticky.
- Press into the prepared pan with hands or back of spoon. Waxed paper works too, if you press down on it on top of the batter, then lift if off.
- If you want to add sliced strawberries on top of brownie batter, do it now.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, until just done. Let cool completely.
How to Make Strawberry Cream Cheese Glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, strawberry preserves and cream cheese together.
- Add milk to thin out if needed. Spread over the cooled strawberry brownies.
- Pour the frosting over the brownies and use the back of a spoon or an offset spatula to spread the frosting out evenly. Add sprinkles if desired.
- Refrigerate so the frosting sets for 15 minutes or so. Cut into 16 squares, and enjoy!
How to Store
These are best stored in an airtight container for 1 or 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Frosting has cream cheese in it, so after you serve them and if you have leftovers, I would refrigerate them after that.
This strawberry brownie recipe is so easy to whip up when you don’t want to fuss a lot and especially if you’re all about the strawberries and fun! Make these with other cake flavors too for more fun options!
