- 2 eggs
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 lemon zest of 1 (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice for glaze
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your blondies will bake evenly.
- Line your 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda until well combined.
- In another bowl, combine the dairy-free yogurt, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and well blended.
- Add the eggs to the wet mixture and whisk until everything is combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Spoon the batter into your prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with your spatula.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The edges should be lightly golden.
- Remove the blondies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare glaze by mixing powdered sugar, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled blondies for a delightful finish.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons water per egg).
- Use gluten-free baking blend instead of all-purpose flour for a gluten-free option.
- Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Freeze tightly wrapped blondies for up to 3 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
- Add dairy-free chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits for extra texture and flavor.
