Description

This Ruby Raspberry Swirl Bars recipe creates a vibrant, chewy, and flavorful blondie dessert that is perfect for family gatherings. It’s an easy-to-make sweet treat that boasts a delightful burst of raspberry tartness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups (400g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (170g) white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (125g) fresh or frozen raspberries (no need to thaw)
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy lifting.
  2. Melt Butter & Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, melt 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter. Whisk in 2 cups (400g) light brown sugar until smooth. Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, followed by 2 teaspoons vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon salt to create a light and airy mixture.
  4. Fold in Dry & Chips: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined; take care not to overmix. Stir in 1 cup (170g) white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  5. Prepare Raspberry Swirl: In a small bowl, gently mash 1 cup (125g) fresh or frozen raspberries with 2 tablespoons (25g) sugar and 1 teaspoon lemon juice until fragrant and juicy.
  6. Assemble & Swirl: Pour the blondie batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Drop spoonfuls of the raspberry mixture over the batter. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the raspberry into the blondie batter, creating beautiful ribbons. If your swirl is not distinct, gently add a few more dollops of raspberry and swirl once more.
  7. Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not wet batter). The center should look slightly underdone for the chewiest blondies.
  8. Cool & Cut: Let the blondies cool completely in the pan for 1-2 hours before lifting with the parchment paper and cutting into squares. Cooling completely is key for clean, firm cuts.

Notes

For chewy blondies, ensure the center looks slightly underdone when removed from the oven. Cooling completely in the pan is essential for clean, firm cuts. Experiment with other berries or add nuts like pecans for variety.
