Strawberry Lemon Blondies
Make these Easy Strawberry Lemon Blondies for your next spring gathering! A one-bowl recipe for chewy blondies topped with strawberry icing.
Equipment
- 8x8 pan metal
Ingredients
Blondie Batter
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled to room temperature
- ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 lemon zested
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh strawberries diced
Icing
- 4 strawberries
- 4 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 cup powdered sugar
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 8x8 metal pan with parchment paper.
- For the blondie batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted and cooled butter, brown sugar and lemon zest until fully combined.
- Whisk in the whole egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract and lemon juice until smooth.
- In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in the strawberries.
- Spread the batter into the prepared pan and place in the oven. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with moist crumbs. Cool completely before icing.
- For the icing: Puree the 4 strawberries with the lemon juice. Sieve into a bowl to remove seeds, then whisk in powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled blondies. Enjoy!
Notes
Whisk in the powdered sugar gradually; you may need an extra tablespoon or two to reach your desired drizzling consistency.
