Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
Add egg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix until well combined.
Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined—do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped strawberries.
Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake for 22–28 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow blondies to cool completely in the pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest to make the glaze.
Drizzle glaze over the cooled blondies. Let set, then slice and serve.

Notes

For best texture, pat strawberries dry before adding to batter.

You can substitute fresh strawberries with raspberries or blueberries.

White chocolate chips make a great addition for extra richness.

For a dairy-free version, use a plant-based butter alternative.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, refrigerate for 5, or freeze for up to 2 months.
