Description
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.
