Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruits and Flavorings
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from about 1 lemon)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and sugar to combine evenly.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the melted butter with the eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Combine Batter: Slowly add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and gently mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the blondies tender.
- Add Strawberries: Fold in the chopped fresh strawberries evenly throughout the batter to distribute fruit flavor and moisture.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted near the middle comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares to serve. This helps blondies set properly for clean slices.
Notes
- Use ripe, fresh strawberries for the best flavor and moisture balance.
- For an extra lemony punch, add an additional teaspoon of lemon zest or a drizzle of lemon glaze on top after baking.
- Ensure not to overbake to keep the blondies soft and chewy.
- These blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.
- Gluten-free flour blend can be substituted for all-purpose flour to make a gluten-free version.
