GUYS, I have found some actual sunshine and it’s in the form of a delicious Lemon Blondie Bar! That’s right, some serious sunshine and lemony goodness has come your way.
While I do wish I had the ability to capture some sunshine and bake them into my desserts, this bar comes pretty close. When I think of the warm weather, I automatically think of fresh sweet desserts. Ones that make you feel refreshed after eating as opposed to the more rich and treats.
These Lemon Blondie Bars have a punch of lemon flavor, and the sweet lemony glaze on top makes these irresistible! The glaze has these adorable little flecks of lemon zest in them that make you want to dive in and devour the whole pan! You can mix things up and recreate this dessert using other citrus such as limes or even oranges. Honestly, use what you have lying around! I typically keep a large amount of lemons in the house, so when they start to near the end of their citrus lives, I like to use them in other inventive ways. Head to your kitchen and get zesting bakers! You have some sunshine to scrounge up!
