Raspberry-Pecan Blondies

Easy Blondie Recipe

This recipe is fabulously easy. Just prepare a simple blondie batter using simple ingredients, stir in some pecans, and plop the raspberries on top. The result is a chewy, sweet, buttery blondie studded with pecans and topped with juicy raspberries. The raspberries add a little tartness that helps balance the sweetness of the blondie. They even taste good straight out of the refrigerator.

Next time I make this Raspberry-Pecan Blondies recipe, I think I’ll add some white chocolate chips to the batter to really take it over the top.

Raspberry Pecan Blondies Recipe Tips

  • Frozen raspberries can be used instead of fresh. Thaw them completely first and let them drain in a colander. You don’t want excess liquid.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • If tightly wrapped, individual bars can be frozen for up to 2 months.
  • I like to eat these bars at room temperature or even straight out of the refrigerator, but you can serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
