Step 1: Preheat oven to 180℃ (350℉). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with baking paper.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk 1 cup of flour, baking powder, and salt together.
Step 3: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, white and brown sugar until combined. Add the vanilla essence and egg and whisk to combine.
Step 4: Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
Step 4: Toss the strawberries in ¼ cup of flour until coated.
Step 5: Fold into the blondie batter until just combined.
Step 6: Pour the batter into the baking dish and smooth until even. The batter will be thick – this is normal.
Step 6: Bake for 25-28 minutes. Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into pieces. Once cool, dust with icing sugar.
How To Store
At Room Temperature – Store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Keep them in a cool, dry place to maintain their freshness and prevent the strawberries from becoming overly soft.
Refrigerate – I don’t recommend refrigerating these blondies.
Freeze – To freeze, wrap individual blondies in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw them at room temperature or in the fridge before enjoying.
