Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1 box (15.25 oz) strawberry cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add-Ins
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Topping
- 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and salt. Stir thoroughly until a thick, sticky dough forms that is uniform in consistency.
- Add White Chocolate Chips: Fold in the white chocolate chips gently if using, ensuring even distribution without over-mixing.
- Spread Batter: Transfer the batter into your prepared pan. Because the batter is thick, use a spatula or lightly greased hands to press it evenly into the pan’s corners and surface.
- Drizzle Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the batter to add extra moisture and sweetness.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes. Bake until the edges are set but the center remains slightly gooey for the perfect texture.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9 squares to maintain structure and texture.
- Serve: Enjoy these brownies slightly warm for the gooey experience or at room temperature as a delightful treat.
Notes
- Add a handful of freeze-dried strawberries or chopped fresh berries to the batter for an extra burst of fruit flavor.
- For an extra gooey texture, reduce the baking time slightly but monitor carefully to prevent underbaking.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
