Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until well combined and smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries until evenly distributed in the batter.
- Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (but not wet batter).
- Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, slice into squares and serve.
Notes
For best results, use fresh strawberries. If using frozen strawberries, thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture.
Ensure the blondies are completely cooled before slicing to maintain their structure.
Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
