- Bake for 25-30 minutes and until the top feels set to the touch and is light brown colour.

Notes
•Store your strawberry blondies in an airtight container. They should last for up to 5 days if you don't eat them all first.
•Blondies freeze really well. Once they are cooked wrap them up in cling film or pop in an airtight container and store them for up to 3 months. Add them to the freezer before decorating them.
•Leave them at room temperature to defrost when you're ready to enjoy them. You can also pop them into a medium-warm oven to warm them up.
•Can I use a different filling? Yes absolutely. You can use most fruits, chocolates or even nuts.
