Ingredients

Unsweetened cocoa powder
All-purpose flour
Granulated sugar
Eggs
Unsalted butter
Powdered sugar
Fresh strawberries

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Sift cocoa powder and flour together; gradually fold into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Once cooled, prepare the frosting by beating softened butter and gradually adding powdered sugar and strawberry puree until desired consistency is reached. Spread evenly over the cooled brownies.

Notes

Use ripe, fresh strawberries for the best flavor.
Allow brownies to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
For variations, try adding nuts or other fruits like raspberries.
