If you've not tried blondies before then this delicious and simple recipe is a great place to start. They are the sisters of brownies, and are made the same way but with white chocolate instead of milk or dark chocolate. The tangy fresh raspberries in this Raspberry & White Chocolate Blondies recipe are the perfect compliment to the sweet sponge and white chocolate chips scattered throughout this yummy traybake. It's super easy to make and great for a lazy Sunday afternoon, it would also be fabulous for a bake sale or party!
How to make Raspberry & White Chocolate Blondies
Start by melting the butter and golden caster sugar together in a pan on a low heat. Once the butter is melted, take the pan off the heat and add the white chocolate. Let it sit for a couple of minutes, then stir it in.
Add the eggs, whisking as you pour them in to make sure the mixture doesn’t cook the eggs. Then stir in the vanilla. Then add the plain flour and mix well before pouring the mixture into the tin. Place the raspberries all over the batter and sprinkle on the white chocolate chips. Or you can stir the raspberries and white chocolate chips into the batter then add everything to the tin together.
Bake them for 30 minutes, or until risen all over and golden on top. Once the Raspberry & White Chocolate Blondies have cooled, melt some white chocolate and drizzle it all over them, then I add some red sprinkles and some freeze dried raspberries.
How do you know when the blondies are baked?
I bake them in my oven on 160C Fan for 30 minutes until they are golden brown all over like in the photos. Using a skewer inserted in the centre doesn’t give a clear indication that they are done because blondies are meant to be gooey and almost a little under cooked. Blondies are the white chocolate version of brownies and they are not like cake. They will also set more as they cool down, wait until they are cool to remove them from the tin.
What white chocolate should I use?
I have made this recipe using both supermarket own brand white chocolate and Callebaut callets. If you use a better quality chocolate, it will improve the flavour. But of course supermarket own brands are great for keeping costs down. I would advise avoiding cooking or baking chocolate, and also I don’t recommend using Milky Bar.
The Raspberry & White Chocolate Blondies were delicious and a big hit with my colleagues! The tangyness of the fresh raspberries along with the sweetness of the chocolate and the sponge was a tasty contrast. They were also so simple, quick and easy to make, so perfect for an easy weekend treat!

thebakingexplorer
Thank you so much! I don't have a recipe for Nutella or Kinder Blondies on my blog as yet, but I'm sure I will one day. Until then, I'm sure if you Google it they'll be a recipe out there 🙂

Amazing
Cat Donoghue
I made these using frozen raspberries and the blondies almost came out green ! Is it due to the frozen raspberries ? Thanks in advance x x
thebakingexplorer
Hi Cat, yes I would expect it's down to the frozen raspberries, unless any other ingredient was changed or the recipe was altered in any other way? I've only ever made these brownies with fresh raspberries so I only recommend using fresh. Hopefully yours were still edible despite the strange colour!

Absoloutely amazing! So easy to make if you follow the recipe given and turned out exactly like the picture. Thank you so much!!! Highly recommend x
thebakingexplorer
Thank you Lorna!
Emily
I’ve seen in other recipes for muffins (and tend to do it myself) to freeze the fruit before using it, does this make a difference to this recipe? Excited to make them!
thebakingexplorer
Hi Emily, I've never frozen the fruit beforehand for this recipe, I use it fresh and they always come out delicious! 🙂
Lesley Edwards
30 minutes was not enough. My blondies were raw. What a waste of time and ingredients. Very disappointing
thebakingexplorer
Hi Lesley, I'm sorry the blondies didn't turn out how your expected. 30 minutes is a guide based on how long they take in my oven. Unfortunately I can't account for the differences between all the various ovens out there. It sounds like they definitely needed more time in your oven. Unfortunately baking does go wrong from time to time, I understand it is frustrating. Try baking them for longer next time, good luck!
Kelly Collins
These were so simple and delicious, everybody loved them. Thank you x
Frankie
Easy to follow recipe that makes really tasty blondies! I found that mine were ever so slightly over, so next time I'd reduce the cooking time by a few minutes, but every oven is different. Will define be making these again!
Zo
Oh my goodness! I made these raspberry & white chocolate blondies yesterday! I always try making & baking different things, with not much success- but these were perfect! Really easy step-by-step instructions that you’ve given, thanks!
It’s brownies & cookies today that we are trying. Keep up the great work! 🥰
Athalia
Can I make these in small individual containers, dividing the batter into the small containers?
thebakingexplorer
Hi, I'm not sure as I've never done this but you could certainly try it out 🙂 Let me know how it goes!
rachel
Can you freeze the blondies once cooked?
Look delicious
thebakingexplorer
Hi Rachel, yes you can freeze them after they're baked and then fully cooled 🙂
