Blueberry Blondies Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1.5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (If using frozen, ensure they’re thawed and drained)
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
Start by setting your oven to 350°F (175°C). Meanwhile, grease your 8×8-inch baking pan.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl, whisking them together.
Take a separate bowl and blend the melted butter with both sugars until they merge beautifully.
Introduce the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture, stirring till you get a smooth blend.
Bit by bit, incorporate the dry mixture into this bowl, making sure not to overmix.
Delicately fold in 1 cup of the blueberries, ensuring an even distribution.
Transfer this batter to your baking pan, evening out the surface.
Add that final touch: sprinkle the top with the remaining blueberries.
The oven awaits: bake for about 30 minutes. A toothpick test should yield only a few moist bits.
Practice patience: let the blondies cool briefly in the pan before moving them to a wire rack for thorough cooling.
