Ingredients
- 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1 cup blueberries
FOR THE LEMON ICING
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar, sifted, plus more if needed to thicken
- 1 1/4 tablespoons lemon juice
- zest of 1/2 lemon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8 x 8 inch square pan with enough parchment paper to create an overhang of at least two inches on two sides.
- In a medium sized bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, cardamom and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter with the brown sugar until combined. Add the vanilla, lemon zest and the egg and whisk to combine. With a spatula, fold in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Pour the batter into the baking pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
- Bake for 30-33 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean or with just a few crumbs when inserted in the center of the blondies. Place the pan on a wire rack and allow blondies to cool completely in the pan.
FOR THE LEMON ICING
- In a medium sized bowl, sift the powdered sugar. Add the lemon zest and juice and use a whisk or spoon to combine. Add additional powdered sugar as needed to thicken the icing.
