Raspberry White Chocolate Blondies with Brown Butter

Raspberry white chocolate blondies start with real browned butter, thick and chewy from a mix of all-purpose and almond flour, with pockets of white chocolate chips and a swirl of fresh raspberry cooked down until it tastes like actual berries, not jam from a jar. They take about an hour start to finish and cut into clean squares once fully cooled.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups raspberries fresh/frozen
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

BATTER

  • ¾ cup butter
  • 2 ⅓ cups dark brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Place raspberries, 1 tablespoon sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice in a small saucepan and cook over medium high heat until the raspberries disintegrate, stirring until the mixture thickens a bit, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool as you make the batter.
  • Preheat the oven to 325˚ and line a 9 X 13 baking pan with parchment paper sprayed with cooking spray.
  • Place the butter in a medium saucepan and cook on medium high heat until melted and the butter starts to brown. Immediately pour it into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, making sure to scrape out all the brown bits into the bowl.
  • Add brown sugar and beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until well combined. Add vanilla and beat to combine. Add eggs, one at a time, beating on medium speed until incorporated before adding the next one.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, almond flour, baking powder and salt and add to the butter mixture beating just until incorporated. Add white chocolate chips and beat to combine.
  • Scrape out the batter into the baking pan and spread evenly in the pan to the edges, it will be very thick. Pour the raspberry jam over the batter. Use a knife and drag a line back and forth forming a swirling pattern.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the edges of the bars are darker brown and the center of the bars look dry and set. A toothpick should come out clean. Let cool in the pan completely before cutting.

Notes

  • The edges should look noticeably darker brown and a toothpick from the center should come out clean. Pull them too early and the center stays gummy instead of set.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • When you drag the knife through the raspberry layer, keep it shallow and don't overmix. You want visible swirls, not a fully blended pink batter.
  • Once they’ve cooled, a short rest in the refrigerator makes them easier to cut.
