Description
These Strawberry Lemon Blondies combine sweet strawberries and tangy lemon for a chewy, flavorful treat that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Mix well until smooth.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and lemon zest. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped strawberries and fresh lemon juice.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then lift out using parchment paper and cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
- Frozen strawberries can be used if fresh are unavailable, but ensure they’re thawed and drained.
- For a vegan version, replace eggs with flaxseed meal and use vegan butter.
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain a soft, chewy texture.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the refrigerator.
