Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 brownies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in granulated sugar until well combined and slightly smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, sift together cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder to remove any lumps.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in white chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Carefully arrange sliced strawberries and blueberries on top of the batter, pressing them slightly into the surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then use the parchment paper to lift the brownies out and transfer to a wire rack.
- Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting into 16 equal squares. Serve and enjoy!
Tips
- Use room temperature eggs and butter for smoother batter integration
- Don't overmix the batter—this can lead to tough brownies
- Choose ripe, fresh berries for the most intense flavor
- Let brownies cool completely to allow them to set properly
- For clean cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it between slices
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days
- For extra indulgence, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
- If berries sink during baking, toss them lightly in flour before adding to prevent sinking
