Blueberry Blondies
These super-easy blueberry blondies, have an unmistakable fudge centre with vanilla, white chocolate and juicy blueberries that are just delicious in every bite.
Blondies are basically brownies with white chocolate instead of milk or dark chocolate. So if like me, you are one of those people who love caramel flavours, vanilla and white chocolate this is the recipe for you.

INGREDIENTS
For this blondie recipe all you need are these ingredients:
- Butter
- Light brown or demerara sugar

- White chocolate bar or chips

– Vanilla recommendations: pure vanilla extract or vanilla paste or vanilla pods.
TIP:
I highly recommend adding a good pinch of salt to your cakes. It might seem counterproductive, but it’s not. Salt helps balance out the sweetness and richness. It also elevates the other ingredients, bringing out the best characteristics of any recipe. In a seemingly absurd or contradictory way, salt intensifies the mouth’s ability to taste sweetness. It is the sodium that sends signals to move glucose into the sweet taste receptor cells in our tongue, triggering the cells to register sweetness. The result is that salt not only alerts our ‘salt sensitivity’, but also our ‘sweet sensitive’ taste buds.
I recommend Maldon Sea salt flakes or Cornish sea salt for baking.
WHAT VARIATIONS AND SUBSTITUTIONS CAN I MAKE?
This recipe also works well with raspberries and/or with nuts such as pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts or almonds.

EQUIPMENT SUGGESTIONS
These measuring spoons are really handy for getting the right measurements of those small ingredients. I also like the fact that they are magnetic, sticking together and narrow to fit into spice jars.
These spatulas are so useful for baking. I use them everyday and not just for baking. Good rigid handles, excellent for scraping out bowls, dishes and frying pans. The large spatula is not flat, it has a raised centre, which makes it very strong.
A great size and good quality non-stick pan for all your traybakes, bars etc…

TIP: I highly recommend using metric measurements and a digital kitchen scale, rather than cup measurements. If you have ever ended up with dry, dense or crumbly baked goods, it might be because of inaccurate volume measurements, not all measuring cups are made equally. All my recipes on this blog are carefully developed so that you can easily recreate them in your own kitchen with success, using metric measurements. It is also a lot easier, less messy and you will get far better, consistent results. 🙂

RECIPE TIPS
Line your baking tray with parchment or baking paper, it will be easier to remove when baked.
Do not overmix – when folding the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stir until just combined.
Don’t over-bake – blondies are just like brownies and no-one likes a dry brownie.
