Ingredients
For the Blondies:
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup fresh strawberries, chopped (pat dry to prevent excess moisture)
For the Lemon Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat & Prepare
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and grease lightly.
2️⃣ Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add egg, vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest, then mix well.
3️⃣ Add Dry Ingredients
Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep blondies soft.
4️⃣ Fold in Strawberries
Gently mix in the chopped strawberries, ensuring even distribution.
5️⃣ Bake
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 22-28 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
6️⃣ Cool & Glaze
Let blondies cool completely before glazing.
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest until smooth. Drizzle over the blondies and let it set.
7️⃣ Slice & Serve
Cut into squares and enjoy!
