Raspberry ripple blondies are a delicious and decadent dessert that combines the classic flavors of blondies with the tart sweetness of raspberries. They are easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
* 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
* 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
* 1/4 cup (50 grams) brown sugar
* 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
* 1 large egg
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1 cup (227 grams) fresh or frozen raspberries
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Spread half of the batter into the prepared pan.
6. In a small bowl, mash half of the raspberries. Spread the mashed raspberries over the batter in the pan.
7. Top with the remaining batter and spread it evenly.
8. Sprinkle the remaining raspberries over the batter.
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
Tips:
* For a chewier blondie, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
* For a more intense raspberry flavor, use frozen raspberries instead of fresh raspberries.
* If you don't have parchment paper, you can grease the pan with butter or cooking spray.
* These blondies can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Variations:
* Add chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or nuts to the batter.
* Use a different type of berry, such as blueberries or blackberries.
* Top the blondies with a cream cheese frosting or a simple glaze.
