Yes — I’m a Registered Dietitian who also loves sweets. I believe every food can fit into a balanced diet, especially the delicious ones. 🤩

I enjoy adapting favorite desserts to use less added sugar and saturated fat and to include more fiber when possible. These blondies are a great example: bright raspberries and creamy white chocolate make a perfect pairing.

Once you try these raspberry and white chocolate blondies, you’ll be hooked on the sweet-tart contrast and the soft, slightly gooey texture.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Easy to make — No kitchen scale required and just one bowl, so cleanup is minimal. You can add ingredients in order and mix in the same large bowl.
  • Simple ingredients — Basic pantry staples: flour, cane and brown sugar, vanilla, eggs, butter, white chocolate, raspberries, baking soda, and salt.
  • Delicious dessert — Tart raspberries and creamy white chocolate combine for a crowd-pleasing treat made without milk or dark chocolate.
  • Lower added sugar — Adapted to use less added sugar and butter than many classic blondie recipes.

What is a Blondie?

A blondie is like a brownie without cocoa or chocolate powder. It should be fudgy and slightly gooey in the center rather than cakey.

Dietitian Tips

Tip 1 Rotate the desserts you make — offering different flavors helps expand kids’ and family members’ taste preferences.

Tip 2 Adding fruit to a blondie is an easy way to introduce new textures and natural color without artificial dyes.

Ingredient Notes

Raspberry and White Chocolate Blondie ingredients, labeled.
  • Raspberries — I prefer frozen raspberries because they mix in more easily without falling apart. If using fresh, wash and gently pat dry first.
  • White chocolate — Choose good-quality white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • Flour — This recipe uses a mix of white whole wheat and unbleached all-purpose flour. You can substitute more white whole wheat if needed, but it will change the texture slightly.
  • Butter — Use very soft (not melted) unsalted butter for easier mixing and better texture.
  • Sugar — A blend of granulated cane sugar and brown sugar gives balanced sweetness and chewiness. Light or dark brown sugar may be used; dark will darken the blondies slightly.

How to Make These White Chocolate Raspberry Blondies

Four numbered images showing how to make Raspberry and White Chocolate Blondies.

Below is a brief overview. For full ingredients and step-by-step instructions see the recipe card further down.

  1. Cream softened butter with both sugars and vanilla in a large bowl. Add eggs and mix until just combined. Add the dry ingredients and stir just until incorporated — avoid overmixing.
  2. Fold in white chocolate chips or chunks by hand.
  3. Gently fold in the frozen raspberries so they stay intact as much as possible.
  4. Spread the dough evenly on a prepared rimmed pan lined with parchment. Flatten the dough with the palm of your hand; it’s fine if it doesn’t reach the pan edges. Bake at 375°F for 16–18 minutes — less time for gooey blondies, longer for a firmer set.

Helpful Tips

  • Cool completely before slicing so the squares hold their shape.
  • Frozen raspberries will soften slightly as you press the dough; this is normal.
  • Fold in chips and fruit by hand rather than using the stand mixer to avoid crushing berries and overworking the batter.
  • If you only have fresh raspberries, freeze them for a few hours first after washing and drying.
  • Using up to 2 cups of frozen raspberries increases gooeyness if you prefer a very soft center.
  • These blondies freeze well. Layer with parchment between slabs in an airtight, freezer-safe container or bag. Thaw at room temperature when ready to serve.

Questions You May Have

Are blondies supposed to be gooey?

Yes — blondies are typically fudgy. The raspberries in this recipe add extra moisture and gooeyness. If you prefer a drier bar, bake a couple of minutes longer or try a firmer cookie bar recipe.

Do blondies harden as they cool?

They will firm up somewhat as they cool but should remain tender. If they become hard, they were likely overbaked.

Can I freeze homemade blondies?

Yes. Layer cooled blondies with parchment in a freezer-safe bag or container, remove excess air, and freeze. Thaw at room temperature when ready to enjoy.

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Parchment paper
  • Jelly roll pan or brownie sheet pan

Ingredients

  

  • ½ cup butter Unsalted and very soft.
  • ½ cup cane sugar
  • cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla pure extract
  • 2 eggs large
  • cup white whole wheat flour use your preferred brand
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour unbleached
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • cup white chocolate chips
  • cup raspberries frozen

Instructions

 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet or jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter with the brown sugar, cane sugar, and vanilla until combined.
  • Add the eggs and mix just until incorporated.
  • Stir in the all-purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Fold in the white chocolate chips by hand.
  • Gently fold in the frozen raspberries, trying not to mash them.
  • Transfer the dough to the lined pan and flatten with the palm of your hand to spread it evenly. Leave a small border around the edges — the batter will spread slightly while baking.
  • Bake 16–18 minutes. Bake 16 minutes for a very gooey center or 18 minutes for a firmer set. Edges should be light golden.
  • Allow the blondies to cool completely before cutting into squares.

Notes

Nutrition information is estimated and will vary based on specific ingredients and portions used.

  • Do not overmix the dough; overmixing can make the blondies tough.
  • Cool completely before slicing for clean squares.
  • Raspberries may soften as you press the dough — this is expected when using frozen berries.
  • Fold chips and berries in by hand rather than using a stand mixer to avoid crushing berries.
  • If you only have fresh raspberries, wash, dry, and briefly freeze them before using.
  • All-purpose flour can replace white whole wheat if desired.
  • To freeze: layer cooled blondies with parchment between layers in a freezer-safe bag or container, remove as much air as possible, and thaw at room temperature.
