Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups (400g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 6 oz (170g) semisweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting excess hang over the edges for easy removal.
  2. In a small bowl, combine chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Let sit for 10-15 minutes to macerate and soften. Mash slightly with a fork to release juices but keep some texture.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and glossy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined—do not overmix.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the strawberry mixture over the blondie batter in the pan. Using a butter knife or skewer, swirl the berries through the batter in a figure-eight motion to create a marbled effect.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes until edges are golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  7. Let the blondies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, about 1 hour.
  8. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
  9. Lift the blondies out using the parchment overhang. Cut into 2×2 inch bars. Dip half of each bar into the melted chocolate and place on parchment paper to set. Chill briefly in the fridge if needed.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for smooth batter. Be gentle when swirling the strawberry mixture to maintain the marbled effect. Cool blondies completely before dipping in chocolate to avoid melting. Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water and dried for clean slicing. Frozen strawberries can be used if thawed and drained. Adjust baking time if using an 8×8-inch pan or muffin tins.
