Strawberry Lemon Blondies are pretty-in-pink strawberry bars with a sweetly tart flavor and a soft melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Ingredients

Scale

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

Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted (measure before sifting)
  • 1 Tbsp strawberry puree (about 2 large strawberries)
  • Lemon juice, about 1 Tbsp, or just enough to thin the glaze to a spreadable consistency

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.

2. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper with long edges for easy removal (optional).

3. Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg.

4. When the egg is fully incorporated, beat in the lemon juice (it may not fully incorporate—this is okay).

5. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt, and add to the wet ingredients. Mix until no dry flour remains.

6. Gently fold in the diced strawberries.

7. Spread the thick batter evenly into the pan using a spatula.

8. Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden around the edges and the center is just set. A toothpick should come out moist but not wet.

9. Let cool completely on a rack.

10. For the glaze: puree trimmed strawberries in a food processor and strain to get 1 Tbsp of puree.

11. Whisk together the powdered sugar, strawberry puree, and lemon juice until smooth. Adjust consistency with more sugar or juice as needed.

12. Spread the glaze over the cooled blondies. Let set before slicing.

Notes

Fluff the flour before measuring to avoid overpacking.

If you prefer, you can skip the strawberry puree and use only lemon juice for the glaze.

Avoid using jam in the glaze as it may be too sweet.

Test glaze consistency before spreading—adjust as needed.

Try variations using rhubarb, blueberries, raspberries, or a strawberry-rhubarb mix.
