INGREDIENTS You Need

Ingredients displayed for White Chocolate Coconut Blondies including butter, brown sugar, eggs, white chocolate chips, and coconut flakes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled – buttery blondies start here!
  • 2 cups packed light brown sugar – gives the rich sweetness and chewiness
  • 2 large eggs – adds structure and moisture
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract – flavor booster alert!
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour – the base for that chewy texture
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder – for a gentle lift
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt – balances the sweetness perfectly
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips – creamy, melty pockets of sweetness in every bite
  • 1 cup sweetened coconut flakes – toasted or raw, both work for bold texture and flavor

No worries if you don’t have sweetened coconut flakes—you can swap in unsweetened and toss in a tablespoon of honey for a touch of natural sweetness. I also love adding a handful of chopped macadamia nuts to my White Chocolate Coconut Blondies for some extra crunch. Busy weeknights call for a shortcut? Toast your coconut flakes ahead in the oven while melting butter—that way your mix comes together faster.

To keep these White Chocolate Coconut Blondies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. They’re also freezer-friendly if you want to stash some away for later indulgence. Adding a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top before baking is another secret I use—it brings out all those amazing flavors even more.

Let’s Make Some!

Ready to get those White Chocolate Coconut Blondies happening? Let’s turn your kitchen into a flavor playground with these step-by-step instructions. I love walking this flavorful path with you!

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it—this is where the magic will happen!

2. Melt the butter and let it cool slightly. In my kitchen, this takes about 5 minutes while I gather ingredients.

3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth and glossy. This step is key for that chewy texture everyone loves in White Chocolate Coconut Blondies.

4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract. Your batter is starting to look like dessert dreams are about to come true.

5. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, careful not to overmix. You want that tender, buttery blondie base.

6. Now, bring in the fun stuff: Fold in the white chocolate chips and coconut flakes. Your batter is bursting with creamy and chewy bits. Don’t worry if your White Chocolate Coconut Blondies batter looks thick—that’s perfect!

7. Pour the batter evenly into your prepared pan, smoothing the top. If you want, sprinkle a few extra white chocolate chips and coconut flakes on top for a pretty finish.

8. Pop it in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs. This usually takes me right around 28 minutes, but ovens can vary.

9. Once baked, let your White Chocolate Coconut Blondies cool completely in the pan before slicing. Patience here means clean cuts and the perfect chewy texture.

The aroma while these bake? Next-level. You’ll be craving these sweet dessert bars before they even cool down.

If you’re thinking about shortcuts, the batter holds up well if you prep earlier and bake fresh when ready. A kitchen tip: toss those coconut flakes in the oven briefly before mixing to bring out even more flavor depth.

Will kitchen newbies succeed with this White Chocolate Coconut Blondies?
Absolutely! I made sure this recipe is beginner-friendly with simple steps and common ingredients from your usual grocery run. The chewy texture happens naturally here—you don’t have to be a pro to get that “wow” factor.

What if I mess up my White Chocolate Coconut Blondies? (Spoiler: it’ll still taste incredible!)
Oven temperature slightly off? A little overmixing? Trust me, I’ve been there. Most mistakes just change texture slightly but the flavor is always bold and comforting. If yours gets a bit too dense, try slicing them thinner or warming with ice cream—they taste amazing anyway!

How can I prep this White Chocolate Coconut Blondies for busy weeknights?
Make the batter a day ahead and keep it covered in the fridge. When you get home, just pour into your pan and bake. I often toast coconut flakes in advance and stash extras too. It keeps your flavor adventure fresh without stressing your evening.

Can I swap the white chocolate chips for something else?
Sure thing! I love experimenting and sometimes swap with milk chocolate or even butterscotch chips. Each change adds a new twist while keeping those buttery blondies rich and satisfying.

Are there healthier ingredient swaps for this dessert?
If you want to lighten it up, try coconut oil instead of butter and reduce sugar by a quarter cup. Using unsweetened coconut flakes and dark chocolate chips add a less sweet but bold flavor profile. It’s still indulgent but with a bit of balance.

What’s the secret to that perfect chewy texture?
Brown sugar and melted butter combined are key. This gives the White Chocolate Coconut Blondies a softness inside with slightly crisp edges. Also, don’t overbake—watch your timer!

How long will these White Chocolate Coconut Blondies last?
Stored in an airtight container, they stay fresh up to 4 days at room temperature, but honestly, they rarely last that long in my house! For longer storage, freeze slices in a zip-top bag and thaw at room temperature when cravings hit.
