These strawberry lemon blondies combine a chewy, buttery blondie base with the brightness of lemon and the sweetness of strawberries. Finished with a tangy lemon glaze, they’re perfect for spring and summer gatherings or anytime you want a fruity, refreshing dessert.
Ingredients
For the blondies:
-
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
-
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
-
1 tablespoon lemon zest (from 1–2 lemons)
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
½ teaspoon baking powder
-
½ teaspoon kosher salt
-
1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped and patted dry
For the glaze:
-
1 cup powdered sugar
-
1–2 tablespoons lemon juice (adjust for consistency)
-
1 teaspoon lemon zest
-
Optional: a few drops of pink food coloring
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
-
In a bowl, whisk melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, lemon juice, and zest. Mix well.
-
In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold into wet ingredients until just combined.
-
Gently fold in strawberries. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.
-
Bake 28–32 minutes, until edges are golden and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
-
Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
-
Whisk glaze ingredients until smooth. Spread over cooled blondies.
-
Let glaze set 15–20 minutes before slicing into squares.
Notes
-
Dry strawberries thoroughly to prevent excess moisture.
-
Don’t overmix batter—this keeps blondies chewy.
-
Glaze only after blondies have cooled.
-
Store leftovers airtight at room temp or in fridge.
