Instructions
 

  • 🧁 Instructions
  • Preheat & Prep
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease lightly.
  • Mix the Wet Ingredients
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth.
  • Add the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
  • Add Dry Ingredients
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined (do not overmix).
  • Add Strawberries
  • Gently fold in the diced strawberries. Make sure they're not too wet, or they may make the blondies soggy.
  • Bake
  • Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean.
  • Let cool completely in the pan before glazing or slicing.
  • Glaze (Optional)
  • In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar, lemon juice, zest, and mashed strawberries (if using).
  • Drizzle over cooled blondies. Let set before cutting.
