Blueberry White Chocolate Blondies
We’re crazy over this decadent and perky Blueberry White Chocolate Blondies recipe!
For my personal sanity, I need sunshine… Continual sunshine.
I need to see green when I walk outside. I need shorts. Sometimes I think our family needs to move to a tropical climate so I can experience summer all year long. After all, when mama’s happy, every body is happy, right?
One way to combat the feeling of endless waiting for sandals and sunshine, is to eat warm-weather foods like berries!
Berries are in abundance right now, and well priced. However when we need sunshine and summer berries in the fall and winter, frozen berries are a good substitute.
Frozen fruits and veggies are picked in the peak of their season and frozen quickly to retain flavor and nutrients. Frozen fruit is usually a fraction of the cost and bakes just as well as fresh fruit.
I use frozen berries and citrus zest anytime I need to bake summer treats out of season.
The bright poppy flavors in today’s Blueberry White Chocolate Blondies helps me make it through the cold months. Reminding me that soon enough, I will be trouncing through the berry patch swinging my little basket and humming a merry tune!
I mean the kids will be doing that and I will be maturely watching from the sidelines… Not skipping.
No matter the season, Blueberry White Chocolate Blondies are a great way to lift your mood!
Blueberry White Chocolate Blondies
Ingredients
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour + 1 tablespoon for blueberries
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cups blueberries (can be frozen)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Melt both sugars and the butter together until the brown sugar is mostly melted. (You can do this in the microwave for 2-3 minutes or on stovetop.)
- Mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and lemon zest together. Add the melted sugar mixture and stir. Then add the eggs and vanilla. Stir well.
- Press the mixture into a greased 9 X 13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle the white chocolate chips over the top. Then toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour and sprinkle them over the top.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. If the edges of the blondies start to get dark, loosely tent a piece of foil over the top of the pan. Cool to room temperature before cutting.
I froze several bags of blueberries last summer when they were cheap and plentiful, and we’ve been nibbling away at them all winter. Next year, I think I’m going to do the same with strawberries, too.
I’m pretty sure I’m down to my last cup of berries at this point, but these blondies look so scrumptious that I might just have to bust open the last of the stash to try them out. I just can’t resist blueberries and white chocolate together.
Those look really wonderful. My daughter would not doubt eat that for breakfast!
A wonderful blondie recipe! White chocolate and blueberry….the combination is unbeatable!
These blondies look amazing! I love frozen fruit also – for baking and also for snacking on. It’s awesome that they cost less too, you can load up your baking treats with them and not feel too guilty about the price!
Those look wonderful and your photos are incredible. Frozen is always great – I don’t do canned fruit too much. We were in Asheville Valentine’s weekend and enjoyed several wonderful restaurants. Hope your springtime is coming soon! Beautiful area – just lovely!
You had me at blueberry! You’d think it was summer here in San Diego because you can get a 6/oz of fresh blueberries for $1.50 or less. I might have to make this right now….
I absolutely love this. I adore blueberries and blondies are my favorite. I might be trying this out but with a twist. Thanks for sharing.
These blondies look so cute with the powder sugar on top. Love the frozen berries that go into it.
BTW the header looks stunning!
Yum! These looks so delicious! I want a batch! Definitely craving spring…
Can I have one? or Twenty !! Beautiful !!
I always have frozen organic blueberries or organic cherries in my freezer. They are part of my breakfast.
What a great recipe. I have never made or eaten blondies. Will be put on my “to bake list”. Thanks, Sommer.
Greetings

These look delicious…can’t wait to make them this weekend!
I want summer too, desperately, in the meantime I think I could settle with couple of these beauties!

Oh where oh where is the sun?? Love these…and LOVE the milk. We’d get along well.
Well, we do need the rain.
I agree on the frozen berries. I rarely buy the fresh ones they always seem so expensive in the store.
Those look like they’d be great with tea.
Such a unique flavor combo!! Love it!! I am not a fan of the dreary rain after what seemed to be 2 weeks of amazing spring weather. Oh well, at least we’re on the downside of winter!
You know how once you do or see something, you see it everywhere?! I just made my first blondies and now I keep seeing recipes for them everywhere. This is a GREAT one! I love the idea of bberries and white chocolate together- yum!
