Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top as much as possible.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Slice into squares and enjoy!
Notes
For clean cuts, chill the blondies in the fridge for 15 minutes before slicing. Use fresh lemons for the best flavor, and avoid overmixing to keep the blondies light and tender.
