Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
2 cups light brown sugar (packed)
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Add-ins

1 ½ cups white chocolate chips or chunks
1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries

Instructions

Prep Your Pan and Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Lightly grease the parchment with butter or non-stick spray to ensure the blondies come out cleanly and maintain perfect edges.
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and light brown sugar. Whisk until smooth and glossy with no sugar clumps. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract to create a silky batter.
Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula, mixing only until incorporated to avoid tough blondies.
Add the Chocolate and Raspberries: Carefully fold in the white chocolate chips or chunks to distribute evenly. Then gently fold in the raspberries, taking care not to break them too much. If using frozen raspberries, add them straight from the freezer to prevent the batter from becoming watery.
Bake the Blondies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Avoid overbaking as the center should remain slightly soft and will firm up as it cools.
Cool and Slice: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes. Using the parchment overhang, lift them out and transfer to a cooling rack. Once fully cooled, slice into squares or rectangles for serving. Clean your knife between cuts for neat slices and to avoid dragging crumbs.

Notes

Using parchment paper instead of just greasing the pan helps prevent sticking and keeps the blondies edges crisp and clean.
Whisk continuously after adding eggs to prevent curdling and maintain a smooth batter texture.
Do not overmix once dry ingredients are added to avoid dense and tough blondies.
If using frozen raspberries, add directly to the batter without thawing to keep the batter from becoming watery.
Check for doneness with a toothpick; a few moist crumbs in the center indicate perfect baking.
Letting blondies cool fully before slicing ensures clean cuts and ideal texture.
