Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup diced fresh strawberries plus extra slices for the top
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled to room temperature
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp light brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 1 large egg yolk room temperature
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest about 1/4 lemon zested
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour *See notes below for meauring*
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare a square 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper on all sides, then preheat the oven to 350F/180C.
- In a small bowl, combine the diced strawberries and lemon juice and set them aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the room temperature melted butter, lemon zest, and light brown sugar until combined.
- Whisk in the egg and egg yolk until combined.
- Use a rubber spatula to fold in the flour, baking powder, salt, and strawberries until just combined. Then evenly spread the blondie batter into the prepared pan, using a spatula to smooth the top. Press a few thinly sliced strawberries on top.
- Bake the blondies for 20-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- Let the pan cool completely on a wire rack, then cut into 20 bars.
Notes
*Measure your dry ingredients properly. This is my #1 baking tip! Do not ever scoop a measuring cup into your flour as this always leads to using too much flour. Instead, use the spoon-level method. This means fluffing the flour first, then spooning it into your measuring cup/spoon. For the BEST results, use a kitchen scale!*
Dark vs. light baking pans: Baking trays conduct heat differently depending on what color the pan is. If yours is dark or black you should decrease the heat to 325 F/163 C.
Can I use frozen strawberries? I recommend using fresh strawberries, as frozen berries may have extra water and will make the batter too wet.
