Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter Provides richness and moisture; substitute with margarine for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the blondies; coconut sugar can be used for a lower glycemic alternative.
  • 2 large Eggs Binds the ingredients; for egg-free versions, replace with flax eggs (2 tablespoons ground flaxseed + 6 tablespoons water).
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor; using pure vanilla will give a more robust taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice Adds tanginess; bottled lemon juice works in a pinch.
  • Zest of 1 Lemon Intensifies the lemon flavor and aroma.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; use a gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free options.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Helps the blondies rise; ensure it’s fresh for optimal results.
  • ½ teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness; omit if using salted butter.
For the Fruity Filling
  • 1 cup Fresh Strawberries Provides moisture and fruity flavor; replace with raspberries or blueberries for a delightful twist.
  • ¼ cup White Chocolate Chips Adds sweetness and texture; omit for lighter blondies.

Equipment

  • 9x9-inch baking pan
  • electric mixer
  • Mixing bowls
  • spatula
  • parchment paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar using an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, and the zest from one lemon.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in 1 cup of chopped fresh strawberries and ¼ cup of white chocolate chips if desired.
  6. Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top evenly.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes until edges turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove the blondies from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before lifting them out and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
