Ingredients
  

For the Brownies
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup melted butter because we all know butter makes everything better!
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh strawberries
For the Crunch Topping
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
For the Sweet Vanilla Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cocoa powder, granulated sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
  3. Add in the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
Baking
  1. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together the crushed graham crackers, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the brownie batter.
  3. Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with slight moist crumbs.
Glazing and Serving
  1. Allow the brownies to cool in the pan.
  2. Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for the glaze, adjusting the milk to get your desired consistency.
  3. Once the brownies have cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
  4. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

For the best taste, use fresh strawberries. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze these brownies for up to three months.
