Ingredients
Blondie Batter
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup (170g) semisweet chocolate chips
Fruit
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Prepare the Skillet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet or oven-safe skillet to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking thoroughly until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently to create a smooth batter without overmixing.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter for pockets of melty chocolate in each bite.
- Transfer Batter to Skillet: Spread the blondie batter evenly in the prepared skillet, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Arrange Raspberries: Gently press the fresh raspberries into the top of the batter, spacing them evenly to distribute tartness through the blondie.
- Bake: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the blondie to cool in the skillet for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for a gooey and tasty dessert experience.
Notes
- Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and texture; frozen raspberries may add excess moisture.
- Ensure you do not overbake to keep the blondie soft and chewy.
- For a nuttier flavor, consider adding 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans with the chocolate chips.
- The blondie can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, warm individual slices briefly in the microwave for a melty chocolate experience.
