Ingredients
Scale
For the Blondie Base:
- 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
For the Mix-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 a little overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment with butter or non-stick spray to ensure your blondies come out cleanly. Using parchment instead of just greasing prevents sticking and keeps the blondies perfectly square.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and light brown sugar. Whisk together until smooth and glossy with no sugar clumps. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Whisk continuously after adding eggs to prevent curdling and maintain a silky batter.
- Combine the Dry Ingredients: 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. Mix just until incorporated; overmixing can make the blondies tough.
- Add the Chocolate and Raspberries: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips or chunks until evenly distributed. Carefully fold in the raspberries, trying not to break them too much. If using frozen raspberries, add them straight from the freezer to prevent watery batter.
- Bake the Blondies: 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; the center should be slightly soft as it will firm up while cooling.
- Cool and Slice: 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. Clean your knife between cuts for neat slices and to avoid dragging crumbs through the bars.
Notes
- Use parchment paper with some overhang for easy removal and clean edges.
- Whisk continuously when adding eggs to prevent curdling.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep blondies tender.
- If using frozen raspberries, add them directly frozen to avoid excess moisture.
- Avoid overbaking; slightly soft centers ensure a fudgy texture.
- Clean your knife between slices to achieve neat cuts.
