Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe kiwis, peeled and diced
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), softened
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a bowl, mix diced kiwis with half of the sugar and let sit to release juices.
- In another bowl, cream softened butter with the remaining sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder. Gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in the kiwi mixture into the batter and pour into the prepared dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top; a toothpick should come out clean. Let cool before slicing into bars.
