How To Make Lemon Blueberry Blondies
These Blueberry Lemon Blondies are the most simple lemon blueberry dessert ever! They are delicious and don’t take tons of effort either.
First, cream softened butter, sugar, and lemon zest. Then add egg and lemon juice and mix just to combine. Next add the mixture of flour, baking powder, and salt. Finally, fold in a generous cup of fresh blueberries and spread the mixture in a paper-lined baking dish. Bake 25-30 minutes at 350 F.
When blondies are cooled to room temperature, make the glaze. You can make a simple lemon glaze, a mixture of powdered sugar, and freshly squeezed lemon juice. If you want to make the purple glaze, you can use blueberry juice. Pulse a heaping tablespoon of frozen blueberries with lemon juice in a food processor, drain the juice and mix with powdered sugar. If it sounds like too much effort, use just lemon juice, and that’s totally fine, too.
Enjoy!

Blueberry Lemon Blondies is a quick and easy recipe for a moist, sweet, and tangy, refreshing dessert. Made from scratch with a few simple ingredients and fresh blueberries, lemon juice, and zest, these blondies are crowd-pleasers.
Ingredients
Blueberry Lemon Blondies:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter-room temperature
- ¾ cup sugar
- Grated zest from 1 lemon
- 1 large egg-room temperature
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar-sifted
- 2 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 heaping Tablespoon frozen blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F, line 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving a large overhang the sides so you can easily lift the blondes from the pan.
- In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt, set aside.
- Beat softened butter, sugar and lemon zest for 2 minutes. Add egg and mix to combine.
- Next, add lemon juice and mix to combine. It won’t come together completely, but that’s OK.
- Add flour mixture and mix until all combined well.
- Finally, using a rubber spatula, gently fold in blueberries.
- Spread the mixture in the prepared dish and bake 25-30 minutes, or until it’s lightly golden brown on the edges and the center has set completely.
- Cool to a room temperature
- To make the glaze, in a food processor, pulse lemon juice and frozen blueberries (use frozen blueberries to get intense purple color). Strain the juice. Stir powdered sugar and 1 Tablespoon of the juice. Add more juice if needed. The glaze should be spreadable but not too runny. If it’s too thin add more powdered sugar, and if it’s too thick add more juice until reach desired consistency.
- Spread over blondies and let harden, about 10 minutes, before serving.

I was looking for something yummy and quick – these were FABULOUS! Since I didn’t have a juice squeezer, I only got about 1/8 c. of lemon juice, but they were tart enough. I had to bake mine longer than 30 min. for the top to get golden, but everyone loved them.
I live at over 6000 ft. altitude. I assume you do not, so I will have to make adjustments?
Blueberry Lemon Blondies make your Easter so special along with Hot cross buns. Good read.
Thanks for sharing!
Do you think there would freeze well? Interested in making them for a cookie table for my wedding!
All of them
The article and picture show cream cheese. There is no mention of it in the recipe or directions!?? Which is correct?
It’s not cream cheese, that is butter.
Wonderful, but at 35 minutes, they still didn’t seem done. I was caught between them being underdone if I followed the recipe or maybe too dry of I went with my instinct. I followed my instinct.
The glaze is BRIGHT PINK! Stunning with the frozen blueberry pulp.
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of resh if i thaw first
Can these be made with frozen blueberries?
I have prepared this recipe three times and I had to bake it longer each time. This is a great recipe. I love the color of the glaze!
You don’t need to look for another recipe, this is it! I’ve made it about 4 times now. When I’m too lazy to pulse the blueberries for the icing , I just use blueberry jam and the lemon juice and it’s just as good! Love love loveeeeeeee this recipe!
This is a BIG WOW. These few simple ingredients combine to deliver a magical mix of sweet/tart fresh pleasure bomb. And so pretty. Book club raved. Can hardly wait to make this again for Easter. Baked it 10 minutes longer than directions.
Thanks Sally!
What about using frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
