Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup diced fresh strawberries
For the glaze:
- 1 tablespoon strained strawberry puree
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan. In a large bowl, cream the butter with the granulated and brown sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest, mixing well.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.
- Bake: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix the strawberry puree with powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled blondies.
- Serve: Cut into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- Add white chocolate chips or chopped macadamia nuts for extra texture.
- Swap strawberries for raspberries or blueberries for a different fruity flavor.
- Try a lemon glaze for a more citrus-forward taste.
- If you prefer a simpler dessert, omit the glaze and enjoy the blondies as they are.
