Instructions

Prepare the Baking Pan:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Stir until well combined; the batter will be thick.
Bake:
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool:
- Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
Prepare the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, strawberry preserves, and milk until smooth.
Glaze the Brownies:
- Once the brownies are completely cool, pour the glaze over the top and spread evenly.
Serve:
- Allow the glaze to set before cutting into squares.
