- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest

- 1 cup all-purpose flour

For the glaze:

- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Add egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract; mix until fully combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt until just incorporated. Gently fold in chopped strawberries.
- Bake: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 25–30 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
- Make the glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest until smooth. Drizzle over the blondies, spread gently, and let set before slicing.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm strawberries to avoid excess moisture.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days for best texture.
