Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

1½ cups chopped strawberries (225g, about 1lb pre-diced)

Dairy & Eggs

1 cup salted butter (227g)
1 large egg

Sweeteners & Extracts

1 cup light brown sugar (200g, packed)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste)

Baking Essentials

2 cups all-purpose flour (260g)
2 tablespoons malted milk powder (or powdered milk, optional)
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Add-ins

½ cup white chocolate chips (93g)

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring the parchment extends above the edges to make removing the blondies easier once baked.
Prepare Strawberries: Wash, dry, and dice fresh strawberries to measure 1½ cups, then set them aside for later use.
Melt Butter and Mix Sugars: In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the salted butter. Whisk in the light brown sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add Egg: Allow the butter mixture to cool slightly before whisking in the large egg thoroughly to incorporate it without cooking the egg.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, malted milk powder (if using), baking powder, and salt until evenly blended.
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Stir the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined. Then gently fold in the white chocolate chips and chopped strawberries to distribute them evenly through the batter.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until the edges are golden and beginning to pull away from the pan. The center should be set but may still be slightly soft without jiggle.
Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Slice into squares and serve.

Notes

Ensure the butter mixture is cooled slightly before adding the egg to prevent scrambling.
Malted milk powder is optional but adds a subtle depth of flavor.
Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are combined to maintain a tender texture.
Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture; frozen strawberries may release too much moisture.
These blondies keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
