Ingredients

Scale

Fruits and Flavorings

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Sweeteners

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal. Wash and chop the strawberries into small pieces, then zest and juice the lemon to have all fresh ingredients ready.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until the mixture is light, fluffy, and smooth. This step is essential to infuse the blondies with moisture and rich flavor.
  3. Add Eggs, Lemon, and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to create the signature bright and aromatic flavor of the blondies.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined, careful not to overmix to maintain tenderness.
  5. Fold in Strawberries: Gently fold the chopped strawberries into the batter, ensuring even distribution to provide bursts of fruity sweetness throughout.
  6. Bake and Cool: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean. Allow the blondies to cool completely before slicing to preserve their moist, chewy texture.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients like butter and eggs to achieve a smoother batter.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the blondies tender and moist.
  • Measure flour carefully by spooning and leveling to prevent dense results.
  • Fold in strawberries last to avoid breaking down and watery batter.
  • Allow blondies to cool fully before cutting to prevent crumbling.
