Ingredients
  

Strawberry Blondies

  • 1 cup (142g) chopped strawberries 1/2-inch pieces
  • ¼ cup (50g) plus 2 teaspoons granulated sugar, divided
  • 1 ½ cups (193g) all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup (200g) packed brown sugar
  • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 ½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (85g) white chocolate chips

Strawberry Icing

  • 3 medium or 2 large strawberries, hulled
  • ¾ cup (90g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Tiny dash fine sea salt

Instructions
 

Strawberry Blondies

  • Place the chopped strawberries in a medium bowl. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of sugar and mix well. Let stand for 30-45 minutes, then drain the excess juices.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a couple of inches of overhang to serve as handles to lift the blondies out of the pan.
  • In a separate medium-size bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt until well combined.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup (50g) of sugar, the brown sugar, melted butter and vanilla until smooth. Add the egg and the egg yolk and whisk until smooth and well combined, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the flour mixture, just until combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips and the strawberries.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan. Bake until the top looks golden brown all over and a toothpick inserted into the center of the blondies comes out with a few moist crumbs on it, about 28-33 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan.
  • Remove the cooled blondies from the pan and cut into squares.

Strawberry Icing

  • Finely chop, then mash the strawberries. Press the mashed strawberries through a sieve, using the back of a spoon or press the strawberries through a food mill. Whisk together the strawberries, powdered sugar, melted butter, lemon juice and salt until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled brownies.
