    Raspberry White Chocolate Blondies (Reduced Fat & 140 Calories)

    9 shares

    Exactly a year ago, today (Oct 1), I resigned from my last job.  blondies 094


    Looking back now I believe it was one of my best decisions I made since I was able to learn more about myself.  Although I felt a tremendous amount of guilt resigning during these economic times, I could no longer keep going at a job that didn’t make me happy and was draining me mentally, emotionally, and physically.  blondies 108
    Having taken some time off allowed me to ahem, sleep, Smile and dedicate 100% of my time to my blog.  As much as I loved my time off baking, cooking, sleeping, and watching "some" television, I realized after a couple months that I got bored being home, alone!blondies 140
    Staying home also gave me some insight about myself.  I realized that I wanted to continue blogging, but only as a hobby until I see a real future with it.  I realized that I needed some kind of social interaction while my husband was away at work.  I realized that since my blog wasn't making any money, I needed to get out there once again and earn.  I realized that I actually do have a passion for what I do professionally and it wasn't my time to quit just yet.  And lastly, I realized I love clothes, bags, and shoes all too much to give up working.  Trust me, it’s very hard to justify your spendings when you don’t have a job, and I HATE justifying my spendings!  So yes, it was time for me to get off my ass, find a job, spend some money, and help the economy grow!  More cash flow helps improve businesses, and in turn people are employed, and everyone is happy.  Hey, that's one way of looking at it.

    As I look back in retrospect, I am in a lot happier place now… I'm much more confident in my abilities, I sleep like a baby without any phone interruptions, I have a more laid back working environment, and I get to work in the best city in the world which boasts some of the most amazing food, New York City!  It's a win all around!  No regrets, none!blondies 115
    And now, blondies!  My niece, Jasmin, helped me in coming up with the idea of using raspberries and white chocolate in these blondies.  She's a smart cookie.  These blondies tasted wonderful and everyone in the family really enjoyed them.  Please leave your feedback if you make these.blondies 105

    NUTRITION:
    Raspberries are an excellent source of Vitamin C and Fiber.  In addition to Antioxidants, they are a good source of Folic Acid and Omega 3 Fatty Acids.  Whole Wheat Pastry Flour adds some protein and fiber to these blondies.

    12. And voila.  Wait about 15 minutes before cutting them up.blondies 023
    13. Cut and serve.blondies 127

    OVERALL RATING: 4 / 5
    blondies 092These blondies were really good, however I felt they were a tad bit sweet.  Next time I would probably lower the white chocolate chips from ½ cup to ⅓ cup.  The blondies were very moist, but slightly on the cakey side.  Overall the blondies were different and that’s why they were a huge hit in the house.

      @Ashwini - i'm not exactly sure what you would substitute to make these blondies eggless, but here is a link that will help you out. http://www.egglesscooking.com/egg-substitutes/

      White chocolate and raspberries would be such an amazing combo for blondies!

      I tried this today, the eggless way, substituted each egg with 1 tbspn of flax meal + 3 tbspn of water. Also cut down on the sugar (little less that 3/4 cup) and white choc chips (about 1/3 cup). Taste wise it's DELICIOUS! BUT, mine wasnt batter, it was extremely doughy, was hard to mix in the raspberries and choclate chips. Also, even after baking for an hour at 400, the top is nice and crusty but the inside is still very sticky, hopefully sitting out overnight will make it less so!

      Thank you for the recipe anyway, will try it eggs next time, just to see the difference!

      @Ashwini - My only guess is that I used 2 eggs which creates a more liquid batter and creates a moist blondie. I haven't used flax meal as a substitute and I'm not sure if 1 tbsp of FM and 3 tbsp of water will create the same texture and consistency. As you mentioned, try it with eggs and I'm positive you will see a difference.
      Another thought, in addition to the flax meal and water, how about adding 4 tbsp of oil. Yeah, the fat content goes up, but you need some moisture that the egg is bringing to the recipe.
      Let me know if you try this again.

      Made a double last night. When doubling the sugar I substituted half with Brown Sugar and added 1 banana puréed. They were unbelievably awesome. Had to hide them from my husband!

      These are cakey?! They look wonderfully fudgy. But it doesn't matter, cakey or not, these look perfect. Raspberry and white chocolate is my favorite flavor combination (maybe tied with peanut butter and chocolate!) and I have been looking for ages for a good recipe that didn't use a cup of butter. I will definitely be making these at some point! Thanks for the recipe. 🙂
