Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8 x 8 inch (20 x 20 cm) square baking tray.

Step 2

Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix until well combined.

Step 3

Pour the brownie batter into your lined baking tray and smooth the surface with a spoon or spatula.

Step 4

If desired, scatter some strawberries (or berries of choice) on top and lightly press them into the surface.

Step 5

Bake the brownies for 18-23 minutes (shorter for fudgier brownies, longer for denser brownies). If you insert a skewer into the middle, there should only be a tiny amount of crumbs but no wet batter.

Step 6

Allow the brownies to completely cool down. Cut into 16 small pieces, 9 large pieces or as desired. Enjoy!

Step 7

Leftover brownies can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days or in the freezer up to 1 month.
