Description

These Lemon Blueberry Blondies are moist, chewy dessert bars bursting with zesty lemon flavor and juicy blueberries. Easy to make and perfect for spring gatherings, brunch, or a sweet midweek treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (195g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (55g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • Zest from 2 lemons
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/4 cups (180g) blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • For the Lemon Glaze (optional):
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2–3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Add dry ingredients to wet mixture and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. If using frozen blueberries, toss them with 1 teaspoon flour. Carefully fold blueberries into the batter.
  7. Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let bars cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes, then lift out using parchment and cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. For the glaze: Mix powdered sugar, lemon juice, and a pinch of zest until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bars and let set for 5 minutes.
  10. Slice into 16 squares (or 9 for larger bars) and serve.

Notes

For best results, use fresh lemons and blueberries. Do not overmix the batter for a soft, chewy texture. Toss blueberries with flour to prevent sinking. Let bars cool completely before slicing for clean cuts. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Bars can be frozen for up to 2 months.
