Ingredients
Scale
- 0.5 cups Unsalted Butter
- 1 cups White Chocolate Chips
- 1 cups Granulated Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.25 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 cups Fresh Blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is crucial as starting with a properly heated oven ensures even baking.
- Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. Ensure the sides are coated to prevent any sticking.
- In a mixing bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave for about 30-40 seconds until fully melted. Stir it gently to avoid any hot spots.
- Add in the granulated sugar and vanilla extract to the melted butter, mixing until well combined. The mixture should appear smooth and glossy.
- Crack in the eggs one at a time, mixing well between each addition. The batter should become thicker and creamier — this is a sign you’re on the right track.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and any optional mix-ins you desire (like nuts or chocolate chips). This step ensures even distribution of dry ingredients.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; stop when you can still see a few flour streaks.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being cautious not to crush them. This will ensure that you have whole berries in your blondies.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. A spatula works wonders for this, helping to smooth out the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, let the blondies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This helps them set and makes cutting easier.
- After they’ve cooled completely, cut them into 12 squares and serve. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures!
