A perfect spring time treat!
Lemon & blueberries are like peanut butter & jelly. They just match! Where you are serving these fresh milled lemon blondies on a beautiful spring day or want to bring some bright sunshine into your kitchen, this is the recipe for you!!
Ingredients needed for this lemon blueberry blondie
Butter – I use a salted butter for just about everything! my personal favorite is a grass fed organic butter from costco.
sugar – again my favorite organic sugar is from Costco
Powdered Sugar – use a high quality powdered sugar
Eggs – these are the binding agent
Vanilla Extract – Adds such a layer of flavor
Lemon Juice & Lemon Zest – real lemon flavor is like no other, the lemon zest and lemon juice will amplify these blondies so much!
Frozen Blueberries – adds a burst of berry flavor
Fresh Milled Spelt – Fresh milled is always better, not only do the benefits outweigh AP flour, but some people with gluten sensitivities can handle fresh milled grains. Spelt particularly is a good grain for those sensitive to gluten, although gluten is still present, it is easier to digest for some. Not if you have celiac though.

Instructions
Lemon Blueberry Blondies

- next add eggs, and vanilla and combine for about another minute.
- next add lemon juice and lemon zest and whisk until well combined.
- Add the fresh milled flour and stir to combine and let sit for about 5 minutes
- Add the batter into prepared pan and smooth it out
- bake until 18-25 minutes (this will vary when using fresh milled, depending on how fine your flour is, start with 18 minutes and keep a close eye. The edges will be barley browned & a toothpick will come out pretty clean with a few crumbs. Should be pretty light in color. Cool on a wire rack.
Lemon Blueberry icing
- add frozen blueberries to a small saucepan and melt them down until they are soft and juicy or put in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to soften the berries.
- remove from heat
- add the lemon juice to the saucepan, then pour into a small bowl, (do not add the berries)
- add lemon zest & stir in the powder sugar
- add more lemon juice if it is too thick
- Once the blondies are cooled and have set, smooth the icing over top
- Enjoy 🙂
