White Chocolate Raspberry Blondies Recipe
Introduction
These White Chocolate Raspberry Blondies are a delightful twist on the classic treat, combining buttery sweetness with fresh tart raspberries. Soft, chewy, and studded with creamy white chocolate, they are perfect for any occasion or a special homemade dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups light brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips or chunks
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment with butter or non-stick spray.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and light brown sugar. Whisk until smooth and glossy with no sugar clumps. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- Step 4: Fold in the white chocolate chips or chunks until evenly distributed. Carefully fold in the raspberries, trying not to break them. If using frozen raspberries, add them straight from the freezer to prevent the batter from becoming watery.
- Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to keep the center soft.
- Step 6: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes. Use the parchment overhang to lift them out and place on a cooling rack. Once fully cooled, slice into squares or rectangles, cleaning your knife between cuts for neat slices.
Tips & Variations
- Use parchment paper rather than just greasing the pan to prevent sticking and keep edges clean and square.
- For an extra flavor boost, try adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter to complement the raspberries.
- Swap white chocolate chips for chunks for larger pockets of creamy sweetness.
- If you prefer a crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts like macadamia or pecans on top before baking.
- Frozen raspberries can be added directly from the freezer to avoid a watery batter.
Storage
Store the blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, keep them refrigerated for up to a week or freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat, warm a slice in the microwave for 10–15 seconds for a soft, melty treat.

FAQs
Can I use frozen raspberries instead of fresh?
Yes, frozen raspberries can be used directly from the freezer. This helps prevent the batter from becoming too watery and preserves the berry’s texture and flavor.
How do I know when the blondies are done baking?
They’re done when the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking to keep the center soft and chewy.

Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups light brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips or chunks
- 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
Instructions
- Prep Your Pan and Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking and ensure clean edges.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and light brown sugar. Whisk until smooth and glossy with no sugar clumps. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each to prevent curdling. Stir in the vanilla extract to complete the wet mixture.
- Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until combined to avoid toughness in the blondies.
- Add the Chocolate and Raspberries: Fold in the white chocolate chips or chunks evenly throughout the batter. Then, carefully fold in the raspberries, taking care not to break them. For frozen raspberries, add directly from the freezer to avoid watery batter.
- Bake the Blondies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 35–40 minutes until the edges turn golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake to keep the centers soft.
- Cool and Slice: Let the blondies cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes. Lift them out using the parchment overhang and transfer to a cooling rack. Once cooled completely, slice into squares or rectangles. Clean the knife between cuts for neat slices.
Notes
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean edges.
- Whisk eggs continuously after adding to prevent curdling.
- Fold ingredients gently to keep blondies tender.
- If using frozen raspberries, add them directly from the freezer.
- Don’t overbake; blondies should remain slightly soft in the center.
- Clean your knife between slices for neat cuts.
