  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the blondies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

  • 3/4 cup sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 cup diced fresh strawberries

For the glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted

  • 1 Tbsp strawberry purée (from about 2 large strawberries)

  • About 1 Tbsp lemon juice (to thin the glaze as needed)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.

  • Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, letting edges hang over for easy removal.

  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy.

  • Beat in the egg until fully incorporated.

  • Add the lemon juice and beat again. It may not fully blend—this is normal.

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  • Add dry ingredients to wet and mix until no flour remains.

  • Gently fold in diced strawberries.

  • Spread thick batter evenly in prepared pan using a spatula.

  • Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the edges turn slightly golden and the center is just set.

  • Let cool in the pan on a rack.

  • For the glaze: Puree strawberries, strain, and mix with powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.

  • Spread glaze over cooled blondies and allow it to set.

  • Once glaze is firm, cut into squares and serve.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the batter.

  • Ensure strawberries are dry before folding in.

  • Glaze should be thick but spreadable—adjust with sugar or lemon juice as needed.
