Deliciously sweet, light, lemon & blueberry blondies with white chocolate chunks!<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

So… yep, THESE ARE THE BEST. I am honestly astounded at how much I love these, and I am sure you will all love them as well. Think a gooey and delicious lemon flavoured blondie, with white chocolate chunks, and some fresh blueberries… my idea of heaven. I am lemon & blueberry obsessed as it is, so in a ~basicallywhitechocolatebrownie~its HEAVEN.<\/p>\n

This recipe is basically based exactly on my white chocolate & raspberry blondies<\/a>, and white chocolate & pistachio blondies<\/a> and I’m not ashamed of that. It’s a recipe that works for me, and I have seen so many of you bake them as well that I couldn’t resist! Why mess with something that actually works?!<\/p>\n

Blondies<\/h3>\n

Blondies, if you haven’t heard of them, are basically what is considered a white chocolate brownie. The idea is that a regular brownie usually has a base of dark chocolate<\/a>, like mine do, or cocoa powder<\/a> which is what makes them into a brownie. You’d think that you would want these to have a white chocolate base, and I have tried recipes like this, but I wasn’t a fan.<\/p>\n

I much preferred just making it more of cake mixture style blondie, and adding in oodles of white chocolate<\/a>. It worked really well for the other recipes, so I am sticking with it! I obviously had to make this lemon flavoured however so I thought lemon zest would be best. You can easily use lemon extract<\/a> if you prefer (two teaspoons).<\/p>\n

If, like me, you are a blondie superman, I have had lots of fun experimenting with blondie flavours! On my blog I now have soooo many, its actually hard to choose! With flavours like Rolo<\/a>, Kinder Bueno<\/a>, bakewell<\/a> and even millionaires<\/a>, this traybake is a guaranteed crowd pleaser for any occasion!<\/p>\n

Lemon and blueberry <\/h3>\n

For these I used fresh blueberries, but they would still work with frozen. Frozen berries can often give out more liquid than fresh due to thawing, but they still work dandy when baked enough! They give a pop of colour in every slice, and just taste completely and utterly delicious. Obviously, if fruit isn’t your thing, then these wont be for you… but you could always just use the lemon, or just the blueberries with the white chocolate!<\/p>\n

I used lemon zest in my blondies, but you can use a lemon extract if you don’t fancy buying fresh lemons for the recipe. I love using lemon zest in baking but you need to use unwaxed lemons so that you’re not accidentally grating wax into your bake. <\/p>\n

Lemon and blueberry together is a wonderful combination – as good as strawberries and chocolate, apple and cinnamon and even caramel and ginger! If you love the taste of lemon and blueberry together like these lemon & blueberry blondies.. you might love my lemon & blueberry cake<\/a>, and my lemon & blueberry cheesecake<\/a>! <\/p>\n

The blondie batter<\/h3>\n

The blondie batter for me is so easy to mix together and I adore it so much. I mix the butter and sugars, mix in my eggs, and in the flour, lemon zest and white chocolate and you have a good thick mixture. <\/p>\n
