✅ 1 tsp vanilla extract – Enhances the strawberry flavor.

🥄 How to Make Strawberry Brownies
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and a thick batter forms.
Step 3: Bake the Brownies
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is slightly soft.
Step 4: Make the Glaze
Whisk together powdered sugar, strawberry puree (or milk), and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 5: Glaze & Serve!
Once the brownies are completely cool, drizzle or spread the glaze on top. Let it set before slicing into squares.
