Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Mix-ins
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh strawberries (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it well to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until a thick batter forms.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Fold the sweetened condensed milk into the batter gently until just combined to maintain a gooey texture.
- Incorporate White Chocolate and Strawberries: Gently fold in white chocolate chips and chopped fresh strawberries if using to evenly distribute them without breaking up the fruit.
- Spread Batter and Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 25–30 minutes, checking that the edges are set and the center remains slightly gooey but no longer jiggly.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9 squares to maintain their gooey texture and prevent crumbling.
Notes
- These brownies are intentionally soft and gooey in the center; be careful not to overbake.
- For extra indulgence, drizzle melted white chocolate on top or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate to get a fudgier texture.
