Ingredients
8 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon lemon zest
3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Melt the butter and let it cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Stir in flour, salt, and lemon zest until just combined.
5. Gently fold in the blueberries (toss frozen ones with flour if using).
6. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan.
7. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden at the edges and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
8. Let cool in pan for 15 minutes.
9. Mix powdered sugar and lemon juice in a bowl until smooth to make the glaze.
10. Drizzle glaze over cooled blondies and let it set before slicing.
Notes
Let the butter cool slightly before mixing with the egg to avoid scrambling it.
For neat squares, chill blondies briefly before slicing and wipe the knife between cuts.
Toss frozen blueberries in a bit of flour to keep them from bleeding into the batter.
