Description
Swirled with a sweet and tangy balsamic-strawberry topping, these brownies are a delightful twist on a classic.
Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cups (237 ml) chopped fresh strawberries
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 recipe brownies
- non-stick spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and prepare the brownie batter according to the box directions.
- In a small saucepan, mix together the strawberries, sugar, and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar.
- Stir and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Lower heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, until the strawberry mixture has slightly thickened and reduced.
- Remove from heat and stir in the other tablespoon of balsamic vinegar.
- Pour the brownie batter into a greased 8×8 pan.
- Pour the strawberry mixture over the batter and, using a knife, gently swirl the two together. The strawberry should mostly stay on top; don’t mix it in completely.
- Bake for 50 minutes at 325°F (163°C). Check the center with a toothpick or knife; it should come out fairly clean (some strawberry will cling to it—that’s okay). The center may be slightly jiggly but will finish cooking as it cools.
- Let cool completely.
- Use a plastic knife to cut into squares.
Notes
- For a more intense balsamic flavor, reduce the balsamic glaze for longer; aim for a thicker, syrupy consistency.
- To prevent sticking, use parchment paper to line your baking pan before adding the brownie batter.
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
