Description

These Blueberry Lemon Blondies combine the bright, fresh flavor of lemon with juicy blueberries in a rich, buttery blondie base. Perfectly soft and chewy, these blondies are a delightful twist on the classic dessert, ideal for breakfast treats, afternoon snacks, or a light dessert.

Ingredients

Blondie Batter

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

For Garnish

  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  2. Mix Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter and packed brown sugar until you get a smooth and well-combined mixture.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Incorporate the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract into the butter and sugar mixture. Whisk until everything is fully blended and smooth.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold this dry mix into the wet ingredients just until combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the blondies tender.
  5. Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, distributing them evenly throughout the batter without breaking them up.
  6. Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired, then cut into 9 squares and serve.

Notes

  • Use fresh blueberries for best texture and flavor; frozen blueberries may bleed and affect the color.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added to avoid tough blondies.
  • Parchment paper lining helps with easy removal and cleanup.
  • You can substitute lemon zest and juice with orange for a different citrus twist.
  • Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
