ABOUT THESE BLONDIES
These Strawberry Blondies are:
- FRESH TASTING: Strawberries and lemon zest add so much freshness.
- EASY: They are a one bowl, no mixer type easy recipe that comes together in minutes! Even the topping is just white chocolate that you toss on during the last few minutes of baking.
- GOOEY: The melted butter in combination with lots of brown sugar give these a perfectly gooey texture.
- INDULGENT: White chocolate adds the perfect amount of sweetness!

I recently shared a delicious recipe for Banana Blondies! They are a perfect blend between banana bread and banana brownies!
These Strawberry Blondies are very similar to my recipe for Blueberry Blondies! I reduced the amount of sugar in the recipe to balance out the sweetness from the white chocolate. Also, I swapped out the blueberries for strawberries!
BAKING WITH STRAWBERRIES
Strawberries are one of my favorite ingredients to bake with!
Strawberries add:
- Color
- Juice
- Flavor
- Natural sweetness
I have lots of strawberry recipes here on Parsley and Icing. If you love brownies, definitely make my Strawberry Brownies. For cupcakes, you can’t beat my Strawberry Filled Cupcakes and for bars, my Roasted Strawberry Crumb Bars are incredibly delicious!
HOW TO MAKE THESE BLONDIES
- Whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar. Whisk in an egg and some vanilla. Add the dry ingredients followed by the strawberries and white chocolate.
- Spread the batter into an 8 by 8 inch pan.
- Bake at 350 F. The last few minutes of baking, remove the blondies from the oven and top them with some of the white chocolate (if desired). Place them back into the oven for a few more minutes to allow the chocolate to melt on top and the blondies to finish cooking.
- Place the pan on a wire rack to cool. Slice and enjoy!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I use to use a bar of Lindt white chocolate.
Yes definitely. The only difference is that chocolate chips don’t melt the same as chocolate bars. You can add some chocolate chips to the top of your blondies, but they won’t melt the same as chopped chocolate.
Store these blondies in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
These Strawberry Blondies have everything going for them. They’re perfectly tender and moist and insanely delicious! Bonus! They’re perfect any time of the day and year!

Description
These moist, buttery Strawberry Blondies are full of lemon flavor and bursting with sweet strawberries. Flavored with vanilla and cardamom and studded with chopped white chocolate!
Ingredients
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 cup strawberries, chopped
- 3 1/2 ounces white chocolate, chopped, divided*
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8 x 8 inch square pan with enough parchment paper to create an overhang of at least two inches on two sides.
- In a medium sized bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, cardamom and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter with the brown sugar until combined. Add the vanilla, lemon zest and the egg and whisk to combine. With a spatula, fold in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the strawberries and white chocolate.
- Pour the batter into the baking pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and toss the reserved white chocolate over the blondies. Return to the oven for 1-3 minutes to melt the chocolate on top and until a toothpick comes out clean or with just a few crumbs when inserted in the center of the blondies. Place the pan on a wire rack and allow blondies to cool completely in the pan.
Notes
- Reserve roughly 1 1/2 ounces of the white chocolate add to the top of the blondies for the last few minutes of baking.
