Ingredients and Substitutions
- Strawberries – This recipe calls for fresh, chopped strawberries. If you don’t have any on hand, you can use frozen strawberries. Just make sure to let them sit out to thaw or else they will make your blondies wet and soggy. If you don’t have that either, you can swirl a few tablespoons of strawberry or raspberry jam into the blondie batter once it’s in the pan.
- Brown Sugar – Brown sugar adds a beautiful, chewy, caramel flavor and texture to the blondies. You can substitute it for white granulated sugar as well, you’ll just miss out on that flavor.
- Flour – When measuring flour, make sure to spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off before adding it to the recipe. You don’t want these blondies to be too dry!
- Butter – You’ll want to use salted butter for this recipe.
- White Chocolate Chips – White chocolate goes great with strawberries. If you don’t have any, or just don’t like the taste of white chocolate you can use regular chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, coconut flakes, chopped nuts, or nothing at all! These aren’t a necessary ingredient.
How To Make Strawberry Blondies
- Begin by preheating the oven to 350° and line an 8×8 baking dish with a large sheet of parchment paper that hangs over the edges of the pan. This is so it’s easier to lift the blondies out of the pan after they’re baked.
- In a large heat safe bowl, add your butter and microwave it until it’s melted. To the melted butter, pour in your brown sugar and whisk that together until smooth. Add the vanilla, whisk and allow this mixture to cool before whisking in the egg.
- In a separate larger bowl, add your dry ingredients; flour, salt, and baking powder. Whisk this together until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir it together to combine. Add the white chocolate chips and chopped strawberries. Pour the batter into your parchment lined baking dish.
- Bake the blondies for 25-30 minutes in the oven or until they’re done. You’ll know it’s done because the center will be soft but the edges will be a golden brown color.
- Allow the brownies to cool, completely, remove them from the pan, slice them into even squares, and serve!
Recipe Tips and Advice
Storage – Store the leftover blondies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for 3 months. If you want to reheat them, just leave them in the fridge overnight.
Equipment – For this recipe you’ll need an 8×8 baking dish, parchment paper, a whisk, large mixing bowls, as well as measuring cups and spoons. You can also use either a 9×9 baking dish or a 9×13 baking dish for these blondies, just adjust the baking time. If you use a 9×13, just know they will be thinner and bake MUCH faster. Check on them every 10 minutes to make sure they’re not over baked.
Recipe FAQs
Yes! Blondies taste great when the center is still soft and chewy. It is still safe to eat, and in my opinion, even more delicious!
Yes, the baking times just may differ slightly.
This may be because you used frozen strawberries, or you didn’t let your strawberries dry before adding them to the batter. Make sure you pat the strawberries as dry as you possibly can before adding it to the batter.

Oh gosh, I had shockingly never tried blondies before this recipe, and I think I like them better than brownies! They were so gooey, and didn’t last long. The combo of white chocolate and strawberries is actually heavenly. 10/10.
… meets *its match. “It’s” means “it is” and nothing else. “Its” means “beginning to it.” Dictionaries are free online.
Maybe enjoy one, or more, of the blondies, or try a cookie, any little sweet will do! Then you might not be so worried about a simple typo on a website. Life’s short, enjoy!
It would have been nice to discuss patting the berries “as dry as possible” sometime before the FAQ’s when all is said and done. Otherwise it’s a great recipe.
