Blondie Batter

  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter melted
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Zest (zest from one lemon)
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 Egg large, room temperature
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup All-purpose Flour (spoon flour into the measuring cup, level top with knife for precise measurement), + 1 tbsp with blueberries
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • pinch of Salt Kosher, flaked
  • 1/2 cup White Chocolate Chips
  • 1 cup Fresh Blueberries tossed in 1 tbsp of flour

Lemon Drizzle

  • 2/3 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 3-4 tbsp Lemon Juice fresh from one lemon, added 1 tbsp at a time

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line an 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper. In a small bowl, toss together blueberries with a tablespoon of flour.
  • In a large bowl, massage lemon zest with sugar to release lemon oils. Add melted butter and mix to combine. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
  • Mix in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just blended.
  • Fold in white chocolate pieces and fresh blueberries.
  • Transfer the batter to your prepared pan. Spread evenly with a knife/rubber spatula.
  • Bake blondies for ~30 minutes or until the top is set and lightly golden.
  • Allow to cool in baking pan.

Lemon Drizzle

  • Mix powdered sugar with lemon juice until a drippy, spreadable consistency forms. Drizzle glaze over lemon blueberry blondies. Allow to cool.
  • Transfer to a cutting board, cut, and enjoy! These blondies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days, in the fridge for 1 week, or frozen for up to 3 months.

Notes

Sofia’s Tips:
  • Don't have fresh blueberries? No worries! Frozen blueberries can easily be used as a replacement. 
  • To make this recipe gluten-free - Simply substitute regular All-Purpose flour with your favourite 1:1 gluten-free flour mix!
  • These blondies can be frozen for up to 3 months!  After they are completely cooled, double-wrap them plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Be sure to thaw overnight on the countertop before serving.
