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!

Have not made these yet. Someone asked me to make strawberry cupcakes & I see these. Look great but not sure about the lemon. Could I substitute it with a strawberry extract??
Thanks
Hi Fran. The lemon definitely adds to the flavor and isn’t too overwhelming. You could definitely cut back on the lemon juice and also add the strawberry extract.
Made this for my sons grad party and he loved it!
Glad to hear that! Thanks David!
