White Chocolate Raspberry Blondies are a delicious twist on traditional blondies, featuring sweet white chocolate and tangy raspberries. These bars are rich, gooey, and perfect for a satisfying treat or dessert.
Ingredients:
For the Blondies:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
For Garnish (Optional):
- Extra white chocolate chips
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions:
Prepare the Blondies:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Add Raspberries: Gently fold in the raspberries, being careful not to overmix as the raspberries can break apart and turn the batter pink.
- Pour into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. The edges should be firm and the center slightly gooey.
- Cool: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, lift them out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and cut into squares.
Garnish and Serve:
- Optional Garnish: Sprinkle extra white chocolate chips over the top while the blondies are still warm, or dust with powdered sugar before serving.
- Serve: Enjoy the blondies as a delightful treat with a glass of milk or a cup of tea.
Tips for Perfect Blondies:
- Even Baking: Make sure to spread the batter evenly in the pan for consistent baking.
- Avoid Overmixing: Gently fold in the raspberries to avoid breaking them up too much and turning the batter pink.
- Cool Completely: Allow the blondies to cool completely before cutting to get clean, neat squares.
