Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all purpose flour (125 g)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar (220 g)
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Fruits & Others
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries (150 g), divided
- Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
- Parchment paper, for lining
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and line it with parchment paper, allowing the paper to hang over two sides for easy removal after baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. This ensures even distribution of the leavening agents and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the melted unsalted butter and brown sugar together until smooth and well blended. Then add the egg and vanilla extract, whisking again until fully incorporated.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the batter and ensuring tender blondies.
- Add Blueberries: Fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries gently into the batter so they are evenly distributed without crushing.
- Transfer Batter and Add Topping: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top evenly. Press the remaining ½ cup of blueberries gently into the surface of the batter to create a fresh and appealing topping.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. The blondies are ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake.
- Cool and Slice: Remove the brownie pan from the oven and allow the blondies to cool for 15 to 20 minutes. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out of the pan easily. Slice into 9 squares and serve.
Notes
- Fresh blueberries are recommended for bursts of flavor, but frozen can be used; thaw and drain excess moisture before using to prevent sogginess.
- Do not overmix the batter once the flour has been added to keep the blondies tender.
- Pressing some blueberries on top before baking gives a beautiful look and extra bursts of fruitiness.
- For easier cleanup and removal, parchment paper with overhang is ideal for lining the pan.
- Check the blondies starting at 30 minutes to avoid overbaking as ovens may vary.
