Description
Soft and chewy lemon blueberry blondies put a summer spin on the classic dessert bars recipe, with fresh blueberries and lemon zest in every bite!
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup fresh blueberries, divided
- 1 cup sifted powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9×9 baking dish with parchment paper, coat lightly with baking spray, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, lemon zest, baking powder, and salt until smooth. Add in the flour and stir until just mixed.
- Stir in 3/4 cup of the blueberries until evenly distributed and spread the batter into the prepared pan. Press the remaining blueberries into the top of the batter.
- Bake for 25 – 30 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow this to cool completely before icing.
- When the bars are cooled, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle the glaze on top of the bars and allow it to set before cutting into bars.
Notes
- Store airtight at room temperature for up to 3 days for best freshness.
