1-First, preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper if you have it on hand. This helps the blondies come out easily without sticking. Cream the butter and sugar together until they’re fluffy, then mix in the egg and lemon juice for that zesty kick.

2-In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt, then add this to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries to keep them from breaking apart too much. Spread the batter evenly in the pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the edges turn golden and a toothpick comes out moist but not wet.

3-Once baked, let the blondies cool on a rack before adding the glaze. For the glaze, puree some strawberries and strain to get 1 tablespoon, then mix with powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Spread it over the cooled blondies and let it set before slicing. This step-by-step approach makes the strawberry lemon blondies recipe with fresh citrus and sweet berries straightforward and fun.
