- Wet Ingredients: ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, ½ cup (85 g) white chocolate chips, 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Dry Ingredients: 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt.
- Add-ins: ½ cup (75 g) fresh blueberries, washed and dried.
Instructions
- Step 1
- Melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Place the white chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
- Step 2
- Pour the hot melted butter over the white chocolate chips. Let stand for 5 minutes, then whisk until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool for about 30 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
- Step 3
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper and lightly coat with non-stick cooking spray.
- Step 4
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled butter-chocolate mixture and granulated sugar. Whisk until fully incorporated and slightly lightened in color.
- Step 5
- Add the vanilla extract and eggs. Whisk again until smooth and combined.
- Step 6
- Add the flour and salt. Using a silicone spatula, gently fold the mixture just until a batter forms—do not overmix.
- Step 7
- Gently fold in the blueberries. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread into an even layer.
- Step 8
- Bake for 35–45 minutes, until the top and edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs or clean.
- Step 9
- Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan. Remove from the pan using the parchment, and cut into 12 or 16 bars. Serve at room temperature.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
For the best texture, ensure that the melted butter and white chocolate mixture has cooled for at least 30 minutes before adding the sugar and eggs. When adding the flour, fold it in gently using a silicone spatula to avoid overworking the gluten, which keeps the blondies soft and fudgy rather than cakey.
Varianten und Anpassungen
You can easily customize these bars by adding a pinch of lemon zest to the batter for a bright, citrusy aroma. If fresh blueberries are unavailable, use frozen ones without thawing, though you may need to add a few minutes to the total baking time to compensate for the moisture.
