    Why This Recipe Works?

    • These are chewy and fudgy dessert bars.
    • They are super easy to make with a few ingredients.
    • You need just 30 minutes to bake them.
    • They are super moist, tender, gooey and super yummy.
    • Take them to any party, picnic or a brunch.
    • They are super indulgent.
    • They are great as a dessert or a snack.

    What Are Blondies?

    Blondies are dessert bars just like brownies and interestingly they were invented a decade earlier than brownies. Although it resembles brownies but there is a difference in texture and taste. Blondies have vanilla in spite of chocolate and brown sugar instead of white sugar. The brown sugar gives them the chewiness. The main difference would be the blondies do not contain any type of chocolate, chocolate chips or cocoa powder.

    There is a lot that can be achieved with a blondie. You can add nuts like pecans and walnuts, or go for candy bites, dried fruits, crushed oreos and fruits just like blueberries in these bars.

    Here is an interesting article that I found on blondies to get more idea about these delicious bars.

    Ingredients

    Pro Tip # 1 - Room Temperature Ingredients
    Always use room temperature ingredients (unless otherwise specified) for baking. Ingredients such as butter, eggs and other dairy ingredients like milk, sour cream, yogurt form an emulsion by trapping air inside the batter. The trapped air expands in the oven resulting in perfect baked treats.

    ingredients for blueberry blondies on the table.
    • All-purpose flour: helps with the structure of these blondies.
    • Blueberries: used fresh or frozen blueberries. (Note: Do not thaw in case you are using frozen blueberries.)
    • Baking powder: used as the leavening agent in this recipe.
    • Salt: balances the sugars and elevates the flavor.
    • Butter: use high quality butter.
    • White sugar + Brown sugar: the white sugar provides sweetness and the brown sugar gives moisture and molasses to these blondies.
    • Cardamom Powder: the flavor will enhance the overall flavor of these blueberry blondies.
    • Egg: acts as a binding agent in this recipe.
    • Vanilla Extract: further enhances the flavor.
    • Lemon juice + Lemon zest: gives a tangy and flavor.

    Pro Tip # 2 - Digital Scale
    Use a digital scale to measure all-purpose flour and other dry ingredients. To measure with cup, fluff up the all-purpose flour container using a spoon, then scoop out the flour with spoon into the measuring cup. Never scoop out of the container. It may result in more flour than required resulting in dense bakes.

    Instructions

    These are basic process shots for this recipe. For detailed instructions refer to the recipe card at the bottom of this post.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Equipment

    • 8-inch square pan.
    • Mixing bowls
    • Rubber spatulas
    • Measuring Cups and Spoons
    • Digital Scale
    • Parchment paper.

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour (120 g) + 1 tablespoon all purpose flour (8 g)
    • ½ teaspoon baking powder (3 g)
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ½ cup butter (113 g)
    • ½ teaspoon cardamom powder
    • ½ cup brown sugar (100 g)
    • ½ cup castor sugar (100 g)
    • 1 egg (large)
    • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract (10 ml)
    • 2 teaspoon lemon zest (4 g)
    • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (5 ml)
    • 1 cup blueberries (148 g)

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to350 F. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper and set aside.
    • Take a medium sized bowl and sift together the flour, baking powder, cardamom powder and salt.
    • In a large bowl beat the melted butter with white and brown sugar until combined well for 3 – 4 minutes. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, vanilla extract and the egg and beat again until combined.
    • Fold in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until just combined.
    • Fold in the blueberries gently into the batter.
    • Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and place it onto the middle rack of the oven.
    • Bake for 30 – 35 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted comes out clean when inserted in the middle or center of the blondies.
    • Place the pan on the wire rack and let the blondies cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving them.

    Notes

    Let the Butter Cool: before beating it with the sugar. If you will use hot or warm butter, it will melt the sugar and will scramble the eggs in the batter.
    Tossing the Blueberries in All-Purpose Flour: will help to disperse the blueberries evenly in the batter and will not let them sink in the bottom of the pan.
