Strawberry & Lemon Blondies

Directions

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined and set aside.
• In a large bowl, stir together the melted butter and sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
• Add the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the butter mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
• Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, ensuring not to overmix the batter.
• Gently fold in the diced strawberries, being careful not to crush them, until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
• Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to reach all corners.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
• Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out using the parchment overhang.
• Once cooled, cut the blondies into squares and serve as a delightful dessert or sweet treat.
