Strawberry Swirl Brownies

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 cup butter

  (melted, cooled - 2 sticks or 16 tablespoons)
• 2 tablespoon coconut oil

  (or preferred cooking oil)
• 1 ¼ cups sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar

  (packed)
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 4 large eggs

  (at room temperature)
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon strong brewed coffee

  (optional)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.55 oz chocolate bar

  (optional (milk chocolate or semi-sweet) - grated, up to 2 ounces)
• 1 cup strawberry jam

  (jam, jelly, or preserves)

Instructions

• 1 Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly coat or spray a
  9x13 baking pan with oil or non-stick spray. Line your pan with parchment paper
  if desired (for easy removal of the brownies).
• 2 In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the 1 cup melted
  butter with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar, 1 cup
  packed light brown sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
• 3 Stir to combine, then add the 4 large eggs, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, and
  1 tablespoon of the optional strong brewed coffee.
• 4 Add the 1 cup each of all-purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder by sifting
  them into your bowl of wet ingredients. Fold the wet and dry ingredients
  together until just combined (do not over-mix the batter).
• 5 Fold in the optional grated chocolate (cut pieces or chocolate chunks work too).
• 6 Make the strawberry swirl. Stir the strawberry jam until easily spreadable, then
  dollop onto the spread brownie batter. Use a knife or offset spatula and swirl
  the jam into the brownies. Don’t mix in too much, as you want to see the swirls.
• 7 Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35-40 minutes, or until an inserted
  toothpick comes out without wet batter clinging to it. *Your toothpick will have
  plenty of brownie on it. The brownies will continue to set while cooling.
• 8 Remove the brownies from the oven when done and allow to cool in the pan for at
  least 15 minutes before removing to a cooling rack, or slicing and serving.
