Strawberry Lemon Blondies
Strawberry lemon blondies combine juicy strawberries, fresh lemon juice, and chewy blondie batter into a delicious treat!
Equipment
- square 8x8 baking pan
Ingredients
- 1 cup diced fresh strawberries plus extra slices for the top
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled to room temperature
- ½ cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 large egg yolk room temperature
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest about ¼ lemon zested
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour See notes below for measuring
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare a square 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper on all sides, then preheat the oven to 350F/180C.
- In a small bowl, combine the diced strawberries and lemon juice and set them aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the room temperature melted butter, lemon zest, and light brown sugar until combined.
- Whisk in the egg and egg yolk until combined.
- Use a rubber spatula to fold in the flour, baking powder, salt, and strawberries until just combined. Then evenly spread the blondie batter into the prepared pan, using a spatula to smooth the top. Press a few thinly sliced strawberries on top.
- Bake the blondies for 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let the pan cool completely on a wire rack, then cut into 20 bars.
Notes
Measure your dry ingredients properly. Use the spoon-level method for measuring flour. For the best results, use a kitchen scale. Using dark or black baking pans may require decreasing the heat to 325 F/163 C. Fresh strawberries are recommended over frozen ones to prevent a wet batter.
