Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup real maple syrup Offers natural sweetness and moisture to the mixture.
  • 1 bar dark chocolate Chopped for seamless melting and key ingredient for richness.
  • 2 large eggs Essential for binding and adding richness to the batter.
  • 1/2 cup butter Brings moisture and a velvety texture.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds warmth and enhances the overall flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and cocoa powder until evenly combined. Set aside.
  3. In a second large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and coconut sugar for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until a little foamy and mixed together. Set aside.
Cooking
  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, add the butter and ¾ cup of dark chocolate. Microwave in 20-second increments until melted, stirring to combine.
  2. Pour the melted chocolate and maple syrup into the egg mixture and whisk until well incorporated.
  3. Add the vanilla and the flour-cocoa mixture to the wet ingredients. Whisk until completely combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the lined baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
  5. Dollop the strawberry preserves over the top and swirl gently with a knife or toothpick.
  6. Top with fresh strawberry slices and any extra chocolate chunks, gently pressing them down into the batter.
  7. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Start checking at the 25-minute mark.
Serving
  1. Let the brownies cool before slicing into squares. Enjoy!

Notes

These brownies can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container. Allow to cool completely in the pan for cleaner edges when slicing.
