1 cup Florida strawberries, sliced
½ cup salted Florida peanuts, chopped fine
½ cup Florida sugar
1 ¼ cup brown sugar
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup peanut butter chips
2 teaspoons natural vanilla
2 eggs
1 egg yolk
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons cornstarch plus 1 tablespoon set aside
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt the cup of butter in a small saucepan. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, brown sugar and butter. Stir until well combined. Add the eggs including the extra yolk and vanilla. Stir until well combined.
In another smaller mixing bowl, use a whisk to combine the flour, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, salt, and baking powder. Make sure the dry ingredients are mixed well. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until combined. Add the chips and chopped nuts into the blondie batter and fold to combine.
Lightly grease or spray a 13 x 9-inch pan. Evenly spread blondie batter into baking pan. Add the sliced strawberries to the small bowl used for the dry ingredients. Sprinkle the sliced strawberries with the tablespoon of cornstarch and lightly stir to try to evenly coat. Place the lightly coated strawberries on top of the blondie batter in an even way. Bake strawberry blondies in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown. Let the blondies cool completely before cutting and serving.
