Strawberry Blondies
- ½ cup fresh strawberries, chopped small (80g)
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted (113g)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour (157g)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal of the blondies later.
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash the fresh strawberries, slice off the tops, and chop them into small bite-sized pieces. Spread them in a single layer on two layers of paper towels, then cover with another paper towel and gently press to absorb excess moisture. Set aside.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium to large bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and kosher salt until well combined.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Crack in the large egg and add the vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture thoroughly, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until smooth and fully combined, about 1 minute.
- Incorporate Flour and Strawberries: Add the all-purpose flour to the wet mixture and mix gently until some large streaks of flour remain. Then fold in the chopped strawberries carefully to prevent breaking them up too much.
- Transfer to Pan and Bake: Drop the thick batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth it out to an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, use the parchment paper to lift them out of the pan and cut them into desired sizes. Enjoy!
Notes
- Removing excess moisture from strawberries is key to prevent the blondies from becoming soggy.
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a handful of white chocolate chips.
- Ensure the egg is at room temperature for better mixing and texture.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean edges.
- Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
