Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup diced fresh strawberries

Preparation Method

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8x8-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper.

Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add the egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice, whisking until smooth.

Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold in the diced strawberries, being careful not to overmix to avoid crushing them.

Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the blondies to cool in the pan before slicing.

Serve and Enjoy: Slice into squares and enjoy these delicious, fruity blondies!

Tips and Conclusion

For an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal, try drizzling a simple lemon glaze over the top once the blondies have cooled. Mix powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice to create a thin glaze, and drizzle it generously. This added touch will enhance the lemony zing and provide a lovely shine to your blondies, making them even more irresistible.
