Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and glossy. 🥣
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is combined and slightly pale.
- Gently fold in the flour and salt using a spatula until just combined; be careful not to overmix, or the blondies will become tough.
- Fold in half of the white chocolate chips and the fresh blueberries.

💡 Pro Tips Section
- Storage: Keep your blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Blueberry Tip: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them. Toss them in a teaspoon of flour before folding into the batter to prevent them from bleeding color.
- Texture Check: For an extra chewy center, pull the blondies from the oven exactly at 22 minutes.
Variations
- Add Crunch: Toss in 1/4 cup of chopped macadamia nuts for a buttery, nutty contrast.
- Citrus Twist: Add a teaspoon of fresh lemon zest to the batter to brighten up the flavor of the blueberries.
FAQ
- Can I use frozen blueberries? Yes! Just be sure to add them while still frozen and toss with a little flour first.
- Why are my blondies cakey? Over-whisking the batter incorporates too much air, which makes them rise like a cake. Keep it gentle!
