Strawberry Blondies are made with pantry staple ingredients and fresh, juicy strawberries, making them the perfect summertime dessert! An easy-to-make treat that bakes in just 25 minutes!

Ingredients  

  • 1 cup salted butter
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • cups strawberries chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting the parchment rise up over the side for easy removal after baking. Set aside.
  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter then whisk in the brown sugar and vanilla until smooth. When this mixture is sufficiently cooled, whisk in the egg.
  • Once the butter mixture is sufficiently cooled, whisk in the egg.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
  • Stir this into the wet ingredients until completely combined, then fold in the white chocolate chips and the chopped strawberries. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The middle may still be soft but the edges should be pulling away from the sides and the top should be golden when done.
  • Allow them to cool completely before removing them from the pan.

Notes

  • Should I Bake The Blondies Longer If The Middle Is Still Soft? The middle is usually still soft when the blondies have finished baking. As long as the edges are pulling away from the sides of the pan and the top is golden the blondies are done. You definitely don’t want to overbake the blondies since their chewiness is one of their best parts!
  • What Other Size Pans Can This Blondie Recipe Be Made In? This recipe does just fine in a 9×9 pan but you may need to reduce the baking time. A 9×13 pan can also be used but the Blondies will be very thin and bake much faster. For that reason, you’ll need to check on them every 10 minutes to be sure they don’t overcook.
  • Can I Use White Sugar Instead Of Brown Sugar? You can but it will alter the final taste of this recipe. The brown sugar gives the Blondies a more caramel flavor and a chewier texture than white sugar does.
  • How To Store Leftovers: The bars need to be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can then enjoy them for up to 5 days. Or you can freeze them for up to 3 months! Before enjoying them from frozen, you’ll need to place them in the refrigerator to thaw overnight.
  • I Don’t Have Any Fresh Or Frozen Strawberries, Is There Something Else I Can Use? Yes, you could use some strawberry or raspberry jam! To do so, just swirl it through the batter once it’s in the pan.
