Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Add Strawberries: Gently fold in the diced strawberries and white chocolate chips, if using.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan before cutting into squares. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
