Ingredients
Scale:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
Zest of 1 lemon
1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and brown sugar. Mix until the mixture is smooth and glossy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Gently fold in the chopped strawberries until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares.
