Servings: 15 brownies
Calories: 194kcal
Ingredients
- 1 box strawberry cake mix
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 egg
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Thinly slice a few strawberries and lay the slices out on paper towels. Lightly pat dry and let sit for 15-30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line a 7x11" or 8-9" square baking dish with parchment paper or foil and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl with an electric mixer set to medium speed, combine the strawberry cake mix, vegetable oil, egg(s), and cream cheese (if using) until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula. The batter will be thick, so use your fingers if necessary.
- Arrange the thinly sliced strawberries on top of the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until edges are starting to brown and center looks mostly set. Strawberries should be somewhat dried out.
- Cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a less gooey brownie, omit the cream cheese and add an extra egg.
Make sure to dry out the strawberry slices. This will help keep your brownies from becoming soggy.
