Here’s why these Blueberry Blondies will quickly earn a spot in your dessert rotation:

Ingredients You’ll Need

Nothing complicated here. Just everyday ingredients that work magic together.

  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup fresh blueberries (washed and completely dried)

That’s it. No complicated steps. No specialty flours. Just simple ingredients doing what they do best.

Step-by-Step: How to Make Blueberry Blondies

1. Melt the Butter and White Chocolate

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. While it melts, place the white chocolate chips in a heat-safe bowl or measuring cup.

Once the butter is fully melted, pour it over the white chocolate chips. Let it sit for about 5 minutes. Then whisk until smooth and creamy.

Now comes the hardest part—waiting. Let the mixture cool for about 30 minutes, or until it starts to thicken slightly. This helps create that fudgy texture we love.

2. Prep the Pan and Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray. Trust me, parchment paper is your best friend here. Easy lift-out, easy slicing, easy cleanup. We like easy.

3. Mix the Batter

In a bowl, combine the cooled butter-white chocolate mixture and the granulated sugar. Whisk for a minute or two until smooth and slightly glossy.

Add the vanilla extract and eggs. Whisk again until fully incorporated.

Next, add the flour and salt. Using a silicone spatula, gently fold until the batter just comes together. Don’t overmix. Blondies are forgiving, but they still appreciate a gentle touch.

4. Add the Blueberries

Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries. Try not to crush them. Those whole berries create those beautiful juicy pockets in your Blueberry Blondies.

Spread the batter evenly into your prepared baking pan.

5. Bake to Golden Perfection

Bake for 35 to 45 minutes. The top should look golden with slightly caramelized edges.

Insert a toothpick in the center. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, you’re good to go.

Let the blondies cool completely to room temperature before slicing. I know. Waiting is tough. But cutting too early can make them fall apart.

Slice into 12 or 16 bars, depending on how generous you’re feeling.

The Texture Secret (Don’t Skip This)

If you’ve ever made blondies that turned out cakey instead of chewy, here’s what makes these different:

  • The melted butter and white chocolate create richness.
  • Cooling the mixture helps thicken the base.
  • Minimal mixing keeps them dense instead of fluffy.

The result? Soft centers. Slightly crisp edges. Sweet, juicy bursts of blueberries. Basically, dessert heaven.

Cooking Tips for Perfect Blueberry Blondies

Let’s talk real-life baking.

  • Dry your blueberries well. Extra moisture can affect texture. A quick pat with paper towels does the trick.
  • Don’t overbake. If they look slightly underdone in the center, that’s okay. They continue cooking as they cool.
  • Line the pan. Lifting them out using parchment makes cutting neat squares so much easier.
  • If your batter looks thick, don’t panic. That’s what gives these Blueberry Blondies their chewy bite.

And if a few blueberries burst and turn the batter slightly purple? Congratulations. That’s homemade charm.

A Little Story from My Kitchen

I first made these Blueberry Blondies on a week when life felt like one giant to-do list. Between school pickups and deadlines, I needed something sweet but simple.

I had blueberries that needed using and half a bag of white chocolate chips sitting in the pantry. Thirty minutes later, the batter was in the oven.

By the time they cooled, the kitchen smelled warm and buttery. My family devoured half the pan before dinner. No fancy frosting. No glaze. Just simple, comforting dessert.

That’s when I knew—this one was a keeper.

Storing Your Blueberry Blondies

Because leftovers are a gift to your future self.

  • Room temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Refrigerated: Keep in an airtight container for up to 10 days.
  • Frozen: Wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Pro tip: A 10-second microwave zap brings back that fresh-from-the-oven softness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, but use them straight from the freezer and don’t thaw first. Thawed berries release extra liquid, which can make the batter too wet. Toss them in a little flour before folding in to help.

Can I substitute white chocolate chips?

You can leave them out, but they add richness and that subtle creamy sweetness. If you swap them, try milk chocolate chips for a sweeter twist.

How do I know when my Blueberry Blondies are done?

Look for golden edges and a set center. A toothpick should come out clean or with a few crumbs, not wet batter.

Can I double the recipe?

Absolutely. Use a 9×13-inch pan and watch the baking time. It may need a few extra minutes.

Make Them Your Own

Once you master these Blueberry Blondies, you can play around:

  • Add a sprinkle of lemon zest for brightness.
  • Stir in chopped nuts for crunch.
  • Drizzle with a simple powdered sugar glaze for a bakery-style finish.

But honestly? They’re pretty perfect just as they are.

Life is busy. Some days it feels like you’re running a marathon in slippers. That’s why recipes like these Blueberry Blondies matter. They’re simple. They’re comforting. And they remind us that something wonderful can come from a handful of basic ingredients and an hour in the kitchen.
