Blueberry Blondies Recipe

Introduction

Blueberry blondies offer a delightful twist on a classic treat, combining the sweet richness of white chocolate with fresh, juicy blueberries. These chewy bars are perfect for a simple dessert or an afternoon snack.

Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter
• ½ cup white chocolate chips
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup blueberries, fresh, washed, and dried

Instructions

1. Step 1: Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. While it melts, place the white chocolate chips in a measuring cup or bowl.
2. Step 2: Pour the melted butter over the white chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk until smooth, then cool the mixture for 30 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
3. Step 3: Preheat the oven to 350 °F and position the oven rack in the center. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, whisk the butter and white chocolate mixture with the granulated sugar until the sugar is partially absorbed, about 1–2 minutes.
5. Step 5: Add vanilla extract, then eggs, whisking until fully combined.
6. Step 6: Fold in the flour and salt gently with a silicone spatula until the batter just comes together.
7. Step 7: Carefully fold in the blueberries, avoiding overmixing to prevent breaking the fruit.
8. Step 8: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the top and edges are caramelized and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs or clean.
9. Step 9: Let the blondies cool to room temperature, then lift them out using the parchment paper and cut into 12 or 16 slices before serving.

Tips & Variations

• Use fresh, firm blueberries to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
• For added texture, sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts into the batter.
• If white chocolate chips aren’t available, try using chopped white chocolate bars for a richer flavor.
• Make sure the butter and white chocolate mixture isn’t too hot before adding eggs to avoid scrambling.

Storage

Store blueberry blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to one week or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a low oven or microwave briefly to soften before serving.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

Frozen blueberries can be used but should be thawed and drained well to reduce excess moisture that can affect the texture of the blondies.

How do I know when the blondies are done baking?

The top and edges should be golden and caramelized. Insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.

Scale 1x2x3x

Wet Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter
• 2 eggs
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon salt

Add-ins

• ½ cup white chocolate chips
• ½ cup blueberries – fresh, washed and dried

Instructions

1. Melt Butter and Infuse White Chocolate: Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Place the white chocolate chips in a measuring cup or bowl. Once butter is melted, pour it over the white chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk until smooth, then let the mixture cool and thicken for about 30 minutes.
2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and position the oven rack in the center. Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
3. Combine Sugar and Butter Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk the cooled butter-white chocolate mixture with granulated sugar for 1-2 minutes until well blended and the sugar starts to dissolve.
4. Add Vanilla and Eggs: Stir in the vanilla extract, then whisk in the eggs thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour and salt. Use a silicone spatula to gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet batter until it just comes together.
6. Add Blueberries: Fold in the fresh blueberries carefully to avoid breaking them and overmixing the batter.
7. Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, until the top and edges turn caramelized brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with few moist crumbs or clean.
8. Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool to room temperature in the pan, then remove using the parchment paper. Cut into 12 or 16 slices and serve.

Notes

• Ensure the blueberries are dry before folding in to prevent excess moisture in the batter.
• Do not overmix after adding blueberries to keep the batter light and prevent crushing the berries.
• The toothpick test is essential to avoid under or over-baking; a few moist crumbs are perfect for fudgy blondies.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
• For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter to complement the blueberries.
