  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 9 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Start by whisking together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl until well combined.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Stir in lemon zest and vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and lemon juice.
  5. Pour the batter into a greased 9×9-inch baking pan, spreading evenly. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool before slicing.

Notes

  • Use ripe strawberries for the best flavor.
  • Ensure strawberries are well drained if using frozen.
  • Add chopped nuts or white chocolate chips for variation.
  • Allow blondies to cool completely before cutting for clean slices.
