Caramelised Blueberry Blondies
Sweet and squidgy caramelised blueberry blondies made with British blueberries. Flavoured with lemon and white chocolate, which caramelises as it cooks.
British Blueberries
Homegrown berries are aplenty at this time of year. But did you know you can get British blueberries too? They’re generally available from June right through to September, which makes them a reliable fruit for summer baking. These berries are full of antioxidants and phytonutrients, so you can feel thoroughly virtuous when you tuck in. They taste good too.
The British blueberry season is still in full swing, well maybe not quite full swing, but my mother is still picking blueberries here in Cornwall, so there are certainly some around. Blueberries pair very nicely with white chocolate, so when I was commissioned to create a recipe for Wayfair last month, I used this combination to make some caramelised blueberry blondies.
For those not in the know, Wayfair is an online outfit selling furniture and other household items. Both the cloth and rectangular plate featured in the photographs came from this establishment.
Caramelised Blueberry Blondies
The blueberry blondies, inspired by these raspberry blondies I made last year, are sweet and squidgy with a beautiful colour as well as flavour from the blueberries. The addition of lemon zest gives a delightful citrus zing. The piece de resistance, however, is the white chocolate which caramelises whilst cooking giving a crunchy and very tasty crust.
Head over to Wayfair to see my recipe and step-by-step photos for caramelised blueberry blondies.

26th September 2015 at 8:24 amThese look delicious! I love the addition of the blueberries in them. I’ve never had a blonde with fruit in them, so will have to try these. Thanks for including my recipe as well 🙂

26th September 2015 at 8:38 amOh, those look amazing!!! Thank you for linking to my blondies as well.
Choclette
26th September 2015 at 11:15 amThanks Margot, your blondes sound well worth trying.
Sophie
26th September 2015 at 9:34 amThese sound delicious! I love blueberries but never thought to put them with white chocolate, will have to try!
Choclette
26th September 2015 at 11:17 amThanks Sophie. white chocolate goes well with most fruit I find – it’s the vanilla notes.
Emma @ Supper in the Suburbs
26th September 2015 at 9:50 amThese look fantastic. You’re right, white chocolate and blueberry is a fantastic combination (though I am biased as white chocolate is my favourite type of chocolate…) I’ve never made blondies before though. These look quite straightforward so I’ll definitely be bookmarking these!
(PS. I hadn’t discovered Wayfair until very recently and feel my bank balance may be about to take a hit haha!)
Choclette
26th September 2015 at 11:18 amHehe Emma, it is a bit addictive and they do have some very nice stuff. If you like white chocolate, then blondies are definitely for you.
Dom
26th September 2015 at 11:14 ampretty blondies and pretty plates… I think I’d like both in my home please.
Choclette
26th September 2015 at 6:55 pmAh thanks Dom. Sugar and spice and all things nice – it’s just too hard to give up on baking.
Gingey Bites
26th September 2015 at 11:15 amOoooh yummy… These look absolutely gorgeous! I love blueberries but have never baked with them.
Choclette
26th September 2015 at 6:57 pmWell Paul Hollywood would disapprove as they bleed into everything, but I like that. A classic blueberry muffin is a good place to start and adding lemon to them brings out the flavour and stops them being too sweet too.

26th September 2015 at 11:16 amThese blondies with blueberries and caramelised white chocolate sound and look so very inviting!
Choclette
26th September 2015 at 6:58 pmThanks Angie. Sometimes nothing but sugar will do 😉

26th September 2015 at 3:22 pmThese look fantastic, Choclette. I wish I could grab one through my laptop screen!
Choclette

26th September 2015 at 5:47 pmThey look delicious!! I love blueberries
Choclette
26th September 2015 at 7:03 pmThank you Manu. Blueberries are a lovely fruit and baked along with lemon, they are even better I find.
Katharine
26th September 2015 at 5:48 pmGorgeous! I don’t really like white chocolate much usually but these look wonderful and I love the sound of the caramelised crunchy top on these squidgy delights!
Choclette
26th September 2015 at 7:05 pmThanks Katharine. I’m not a fan of eating white chocolate on it’s own, I find it far too sweet, but I do love it in baking.
Janice
26th September 2015 at 10:34 pmooh very yummy, would work well with other fruit too I would imagine. The cloth and plate look good too. Thanks for including a link to my ‘Barbies’
Choclette
27th September 2015 at 8:18 amThanks Janice. It certainly worked well with raspberries, but it has yet to be tried with anything else.

27th September 2015 at 11:51 amI love how blueberries bake and go all squishy – these look divine!
Choclette
27th September 2015 at 1:04 pmThanks CC. There’s a lot of nonsense talked about fruit bleeding into cake batters. That’s what makes them even more appealing, surely!

27th September 2015 at 5:33 pmI’ve never met a blondie I didn’t love!

28th September 2015 at 5:58 pmlove the rectangular plate. Blueberries, white chocolate and lemon combination cannot get more tempting.
Choclette
29th September 2015 at 9:33 amThanks Mayuri. I was really pleased with the plate, it makes more sense than a round plate for lots of things.

1st October 2015 at 10:56 pmWhite chocolate and berries has to be one of my most frequent kitchen pairings! I bet these blondes were so good… I can almost taste them from here!
