Description
Sweet strawberries meet tangy lemon in a soft, chewy blondie base, creating a refreshing yet indulgent dessert perfect for gatherings or cravings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- Wash, hull, and chop the strawberries into small pieces. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest, stirring until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Gently fold the chopped strawberries into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The edges should be lightly golden.
- Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out and cutting into squares.
Notes
Pat strawberries dry to prevent excess moisture. Blondies taste even better the day after baking as the flavors meld.
