Ingredients

For the Blondie Batter:

• ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt

For the Add-ins:

• ¾ cup (130 g) white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
• ¾ cup (100 g) fresh or frozen raspberries (do not thaw if frozen)

Optional Topping:

• Extra white chocolate chips
• A few raspberries for decoration
• Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Simple Cooking Directions

1. Mix melted butter and sugar.
2. Add egg and vanilla.
3. Stir in dry ingredients to make a thick batter.
4. Fold in white chocolate and raspberries.
5. Spread in a baking pan and bake until golden.
6. Cool, cut, and enjoy!

Step-by-Step Recipe Preparation Method

Step 1: Prepare the Baking Pan

1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F).
2. Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
3. Lightly grease the paper with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2: Make the Blondie Batter

1. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
2. Add egg and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir gently until just combined — don’t overmix.

Step 3: Add the Mix-ins

1. Gently fold in white chocolate chips and raspberries using a rubber spatula.
2. Be careful not to crush the raspberries too much — you want swirls of red throughout the blondie.

Step 4: Bake the Blondies

1. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
2. Top with a few extra white chocolate chips and raspberries if desired.
3. Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is just set.
4. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).

Step 5: Cool and Slice

1. Let the blondies cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.
2. Lift out using the parchment paper overhang and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
3. Once cooled, cut into 12 squares or rectangles.

How to Serve

• Serve slightly warm for a gooey texture or chilled for a firmer, fudge-like bite.
• Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of white chocolate ganache.
• Garnish with fresh raspberries or a light dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant presentation.
• Perfect with coffee, hot chocolate, or tea.

Additional Recipe Tips

• Do not overbake — blondies should be chewy, not cakey.
• If using frozen raspberries, do not thaw — thawed berries release too much liquid.
• Use good-quality white chocolate for the best flavor.
• For a more caramel-like taste, brown the butter before mixing.
• Cool completely before slicing to get clean, neat squares.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q2. Can I use white chocolate bars instead of chips?
Absolutely! Chop them into small chunks for a gooey texture.

Q3. Why are my blondies dry?
They were likely overbaked. Remove them when the edges are set but the center is slightly soft.

Q4. Can I make these gluten-free?
Yes, use a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend. The texture will still be great.

Q5. How can I make them extra fudgy?
Add an extra egg yolk or 1 tablespoon of melted white chocolate to the batter.
