Tips and Variations
Skip or Change the Glaze – we love these glaze on these brownies, but they are delicious without it as well. If you’re not a fan of lemon, you can mix a Tablespoon of strawberry jam and milk with the powdered sugar to make a strawberry glaze.
Mix ins – feel free to add in some white chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips to the strawberry brownie batter.
Other Toppings – some other topping ideas are cream cheese frosting, strawberry frosting or chocolate ganache!
Serving – I love these brownies as is, but adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream makes them extra special!
