Ingredients
- Unsalted Butter: 1/2 cup, melted
- Granulated Sugar: 1 cup
- Egg: 1 large
- Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
- All-Purpose Flour: 1 1/4 cups
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Fresh Blueberries: 1 cup
- Lemon Zest: 1 teaspoon
- Powdered Sugar: 1/2 cup
- Fresh Lemon Juice: 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stove. Let it cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the flour, salt, and lemon zest to the wet ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- While the blondies bake, prepare the glaze. Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
- Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before drizzling with the lemon glaze.
- Cut into bars and enjoy your homemade blueberry blondies.
Notes
- For gluten-free blueberry blondies, use a good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
- You can use frozen blueberries; toss them with an extra teaspoon of flour before adding to the batter to prevent bleeding.
- For a vegan option, substitute the butter with vegan butter and the egg with a flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed + 3 tbsp water).
- Store leftover blueberry blondie bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
