Ingredients

1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, melted
1 ½ cups brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
1 cup white chocolate chips or chunks
1 cup fresh or freeze-dried strawberries, chopped
Optional: extra white chocolate for drizzling

Instructions

Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, stirring gently until just combined.
Fold in white chocolate chips and chopped strawberries.
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
Cool completely before slicing. Drizzle with melted white chocolate if desired.

Tips

Don’t overmix the batter; this keeps the blondies chewy and soft.
Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean edges.
If using frozen strawberries, thaw and pat them dry first to avoid excess moisture.
Add a pinch of lemon zest for a fresh, bright flavor.

Nutty Twist: Add ½ cup chopped macadamia nuts or almonds for crunch.
Gluten-Free Version: Substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend.
