Lemon Blondies with Meringue Topping from the Omnia Oven – Juicy, Sweet & Easy

• 125g peanut butter
• 175g sugar
• 1 egg(room temperature, size M)
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 lemon(Zest + 2 tablespoons of juice)
• 150g flour
• 1 Pinch salt

Ingredients

• 75g strawberry

Meringue

• 1 egg white
• 50g powdered sugar
• 1 Pinch salt

1. Melt the butter and let it cool briefly.

2. Then stir in the sugar with a cooking spoon or silicone spatula.

3. Now stir in egg along with egg yolk.

4. Fold in lemon, as well as flour and salt, until a homogeneous mixture forms. Do not mix too much.

Meringue Topping (optional)

1. Whip the egg white with salt until they begin to froth.

2. Gradually sift in 50g powdered sugar while continuing to beat (with a hand mixer or whisk) until the mixture is white, shiny, and stiff. This may take 4-6 minutes.

Baking in the Omnia

1. Lightly sprinkle the silicone mold for the Omnia with sugar. Cut strawberry into smaller pieces.

2. Fill the dough into the silicone mold, smooth it lightly, and optionally press in strawberry.

3. Optional: Dab meringue onto the dough.

4. Then bake on low to medium heat for about 30 minutes. Note: The blondies may appear a bit soft inside, but that's how it should be. If in doubt, bake for a shorter time rather than longer. Let the blondies cool.

Alternative Oven

1. Preheat the oven to 175°C (347°F) with both top and bottom heat. Line a 20x20 cm baking pan (please do not use a larger one, as the blondies are quite flat) with baking paper, preferably crosswise so that the blondies can be easily lifted out of the pan later.

2. Spread the dough into the baking pan and optionally press in strawberry.

3. Then bake on the middle rack for about 30-35 minutes. Caution: The blondies may still seem a bit soft, but just like with brownies, that's how it should be.

4. Optional: After 15 minutes of baking time, dot the meringue on top of the blondies and continue baking. The surface will be light brown and remain soft inside, resembling marshmallows.

5. Allow the blondies to cool. And serve. Serve with lemon if desired.
