Ingredients
To make these brownies, you are going to need,
Strawberries – This brownie tastes best with fresh strawberries. Make sure you opt for nice and red strawberries.
All Purpose Flour – Here, we will use all purpose flour, but you can also substitute it with whole wheat flour for a healthy alternative. The texture and taste will differ a bit.
Dark Chocolate – I have used dark chocolate as it renders the flavor that brownies should have.
Cocoa Powder – Opt for good quality cocoa powder for best taste. Low quality powders can effect the taste of your brownies.
Unsalted Butter – Always opt for unsalted butter!
Other Ingredients – Other than these you will need granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and baking powder.
