Best Lemon-Blueberry Blondies

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray

  • 1 1/2 c. (320 g.) packed light brown sugar

  • 3/4 c. (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted, slightly cooled

  • 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

  • 1 tsp. finely grated lemon zest

  • 1 tsp. baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp. kosher salt

  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

  • 1 1/2 c. (180 g.) all-purpose flour

  • 1 c. fresh blueberries, divided

  • 1 c. (115 g.) powdered sugar

  • 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9″ square baking pan cooking spray. Line with parchment, leaving an overhang on 2 opposite sides. Grease parchment with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk brown sugar, butter, vanilla, lemon zest, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Stir in eggs until well combined. Add flour and stir just until combined. Add 3/4 cup blueberries and fold just to distribute.
  • Scrape batter into prepared pan; smooth top. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup blueberries.
  • Bake blondies until golden and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let cool completely.
  • In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice, adding water a few drops at a time, until a drizzling consistency is reached. Drizzle glaze over cooled blondies. Let set 15 minutes.
  • Using parchment overhang, lift blondies out of pan and transfer to a cutting board. Slice and serve.
