Strawberry Lemon Blondies
Rich, buttery bars with a soft center, flavored with zesty lemon and studded with fresh strawberries. These blondies offer the perfect blend of sweetness and tartness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 lemon zest only
- 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar and stir until smooth.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the lemon zest and the chopped strawberries, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly, and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, then cut into squares and enjoy.
