It’s time to bake allll the Spring recipes like these LEMON BLUEBERRY BLONDIES!

These one-bowl Blondies are tender, packed with lemon flavour and fresh blueberries PLUS a white chocolate drizzle. It doesn’t get any better - here’s the recipe friends!

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
zest from 1 lemon (2 tsp lemon zest)
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 cup fresh blueberries
optional white chocolate drizzle: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips melted

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350F and line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, white and brown sugar until combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix well. Whisk in the lemon zest.
3. Using a spoon or spatula, mix flour, baking powder and salt into wet ingredients, stirring until everything comes together and no clumps of flour remain (it will be quite thick like cookie dough). Gently stir in the blueberries.
4. Transfer the batter into the prepared pan and smooth out the top so the batter reaches the edges of the pan.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely in the pan and then remove and cut into 9 or 12 squares. Drizzle with melted white chocolate and enjoy!

Save this recipe for cute MINI FRUIT HAND PIES for

Save this recipe for cute MINI FRUIT HAND PIES for dessert anytime! Made with super simple ingredients, it’s a dessert you can honestly make anyyyyy time - heres the recipe friends!

INGREDIENTS:
1/2-2/3 cup pie filling of choice (I recommend cherry or blueberry!)
1 sheet frozen puff pastry *defrosted in the fridge*
egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1/2 tbsp milk)
coarse sugar for sprinkling

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Lay out the defrosted puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
3. Use a circle cookie cutter to cut out 8 circles (4 tops and 4 bottoms). Brush the edges of the 4 ‘bottom’ circles with the egg wash. Spoon about 2-3 tbsp of the pie filling into the centre of the bottom circles.
4. Place the ‘top’ circles over the pie filling and then crimp the edges of the circles to seal - it’s ok if some of the filling seeps out!
5. Slice 2 small slits in the top of each pie; brush the egg wash on each pie and then sprinkle with sugar. Place in the fridge while you preheat the oven to 375F.
6. Once the oven is preheated (and it’s been at least 10 minutes since the pies have been in the fridge), bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
7. Cool on the baking sheet and then enjoy!
