Ingredients

¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1½ cups fresh strawberries, diced
1 cup white chocolate, chopped

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
Brown the butter in a saucepan until golden and nutty, then let it cool slightly.
Pat the strawberries dry and toss them with 1 tablespoon of the flour.
Whisk together the remaining flour, baking powder, salt, and cornstarch.
Whisk the brown butter with the brown sugar, then mix in the eggs and vanilla.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until almost combined.
Fold in the strawberries and three-quarters of the chopped white chocolate.
Spread the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining chocolate over the top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is just set.
Cool completely before slicing into 16 squares.

Notes

Cooking Time and Temperature

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes.

Taste & Texture

These blondies are wonderfully soft and chewy with rich buttery flavor, juicy bursts of strawberry, and creamy pockets of melted white chocolate.

Storage, Freezing & Reheating

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Wrap individual blondies tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheat: Warm for about 10-15 seconds in the microwave if you'd like the white chocolate to become soft and melty again.

Serving Recommendations

I usually serve these slightly chilled or at room temperature with a hot cup of coffee. They're also fantastic with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if you're serving them as dessert after dinner.

Recipe Variations and Substitutions

Strawberries: Fresh strawberries give the best results, but well-drained frozen strawberries can also be used.
White chocolate: Chopped chocolate bars melt much better than chips, but either works.
Brown sugar: Light or dark brown sugar both work, although dark brown sugar gives a deeper caramel flavor.
Add-ins: Chopped pistachios, almonds, or macadamia nuts all go well with the strawberries.

Proper Storage Tips

Cool completely before storing.
Store in an airtight container.
Place parchment paper between layers.
Freeze individual squares for easy grab-and-go treats.

Pro Tips

Brown the butter for the richest flavor.
Pat the strawberries dry before adding them.
Toss the strawberries with flour to prevent extra moisture.
Don't overmix the batter.
Slightly underbake the blondies for the fudgiest texture.
Chill before slicing for clean, bakery-style squares.
