Why You’ll Love This White Chocolate Coconut Blondies Recipe

These blondies are a wonderful change from traditional chocolate chip bars. They’re naturally golden and buttery, requiring no frosting or fancy add-ons. They pack beautifully for gifting or picnics, and best of all, they stay soft for days. The recipe uses pantry staples, so you can whip it up at a moment’s notice. If you love simple recipes with big flavor payoffs, this one is a keeper.

What Kind of White Chocolate Should I Use?

For best results, go with a good quality white chocolate bar and chop it into chunks rather than using white chocolate chips. Chips tend to hold their shape and don’t melt as well into the batter. If you’re in a pinch, chips will work, but the creaminess of a real bar creates a more luxurious texture and flavor.

Ingredients for the White Chocolate Coconut Blondies

A short and sweet ingredient list is all you need to create a batch of these chewy treats. Every ingredient brings something essential to the flavor and texture of the final bars.

Butter: Adds richness and keeps the blondies moist.

Brown Sugar: Deepens the flavor with a hint of caramel-like sweetness and contributes to the chewy texture.

Eggs: Help bind everything together while adding moisture.

Vanilla Extract: Enhances all the other flavors in a subtle way.

All-Purpose Flour: The foundation that gives structure to the bars.

Salt: A pinch sharpens all the sweet notes.

Baking Powder: Just a little for a light lift.

Sweetened Shredded Coconut: Brings chewiness and a toasty tropical flavor.

White Chocolate: The creamy highlight that makes these blondies stand out.

How To Make the White Chocolate Coconut Blondies

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting.

Step 2: Melt and Mix

In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the brown sugar until fully combined and slightly cooled. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well until smooth.

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until just combined, then fold in the shredded coconut and white chocolate.

Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection

Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.

Step 5: Cool and Slice

Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing into squares. For cleaner cuts, chill them in the fridge for about 30 minutes before slicing.
