First of all: YAY! I’m so excited to share these! :)
My favorite flavor combinations are white chocolate and raspberry and peanut butter and chocolate. And butterscotch. Just butterscotch by itself. Nothing should ever get in the way of butterscotch. I was going through my recipe index the other day and realized that I didn’t have anything with white chocolate and only one raspberry recipe. Absurd!
So I’ve had this dream of 100% whole grain white chocolate blondies for a while, but I knew that they’d taste healthy and I just can’t have that. That’s where coconut butter comes in. These don’t taste strongly of coconut, but it’s there. And I think it’s responsible for getting rid of the “healthy” whole grain taste.
I loved these room temperature, refrigerated, and frozen. Try them all out and see which you prefer. :)
I’ve been busy today. I’ve already made another coconut butter, raspberry and white chocolate creation so I hope this is something that you all enjoy!

100% Whole Grain White Chocolate Raspberry Blondies
- Prep Time:
- Cook Time:
- Ready in:
- Yield: 16 blondies
Ingredients
- 120 grams (about ½ cup) coconut butter
- 80 grams (about ½ cup) white chocolate chips
- ⅓ cup (106 grams) honey
- 2 eggs
- 1½ teaspoon vanilla
- 60 grams (about ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons) whole wheat flour
- 24 grams (about ¼ cup) oat flour*
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups (155 grams) frozen** raspberries, not thawed
- 100 grams (about 1¼ cups) white chocolate chips
Directions
- Line an 8" x 8" pan with parchment paper. Preheat your oven to 350°F / 176°C. Melt the coconut butter and white chocolate in a medium pot over medium heat, stirring occassionally.
- Once melted, turn off the heat and stir in the honey. It will become a sticky ball at this point. Add the eggs and vanilla and stir. It will look strange at first, but it'll come together. Take it off the heat and add in the whole wheat flour, oat flour and salt, stirring just until combined.
- Fold in the raspberries and white chocolate chips. Bake for 20 minutes. They won't look like blondies normally look, but kind of greasy. That's normal but they come out completely non-greasy! Let them cool in the pan for a few minutes and then take them out of the pan using the parchment paper to lift them up.
- The areas around the sides are cakey, but don't worry. The inside isn't cakey at all. These are good at room temp but if you put them in the fridge, they'll become fudge like. They also freeze well.
Notes
- To make your own oat flour, grind 25 grams of rolled / traditional oats in your food processor or coffee grinder until it's ground up finely. Not as finely as normal flour, but finer than oats.
- I used frozen berries because I can't stand baking with fresh ones. If you use fresh, I'm assuming you'd have to reduce the baking time a little.

How were these not a fave on the 2012 list for viewers?! GAH! I am suuuuch a sucker for anything raspberry white chocolate and these are right up my alley. Yummy!
I know, right?! I think maybe they just weren't gooey or peanut buttery enough. That seems to be what people want. Gooey + peanut butter. But these are so much better! So so so good. I'm happy someone else out there appreciates them. Thank you! :D
uhh got to try that one. i just recently discovered blondies and i loved the oats blondies i made. Oh and i brought back some white chocolate from germany. yay. now all i need is time….
Anon – I think it'd work if you add more whole wheat flour, but the thing is, it'll taste more wheaty and less neutral. You can easily make your own by grinding some normal rolled / traditional rolled oats in a food processor or coffee grinder. Just put in 25 grams and grind until kind of powdery!
Hi! These look do good! I was just wondering do I have to use oat flour?? Can I just replace it with the whole wheat flour? Thanks so much for your help!!:)
Honey – Thank you! I had planned on using your recipe, which looks amazing, but then I got the idea of coconut butter. And now I want to use coconut butter in all my blondies. I couldn't believe that it worked!
looks amazingggggggggg. i worked on a similar recipe, but i felt my blondies were a bit more cakey, but i used regular butter, not coconut butter. very nicely done and gorgeous pics.
Amy – Thank you! More raspberry white chocolate stuff to come. :)
DessertForTwo – And thank you for stopping by! I love hearing from new visitors.
Claire – Hehe. For sure. But you'll feel very naughty eating them. They don't taste healthified in the least. :)
Sarah – Happy that there are some more raspberry white chocolate fans out there! I think there are a lot of white chocolate haters. They can just stay away from my new over the next few weeks. :)
Anna – Let me know how they turn out! I hope you two like them. :)
Ally – Thank you, thank you!
Maryea – Or you can make your own! It's so expensive to buy the stuff from the store. Click on "coconut butter" in the recipe and that'll send you to my recipe for homemade coconut butter. :) I hope you can try it out!
Oh wow–these might force me to buy some coconut butter! I wonder how it'd work with all oat flour though? I can't have wheat right now (my breastfeeding son is intolerant…). Hmmm…might have to try it! These just look too good.
me oh my, these look divine! i love your blog name too!

These sound amazing! White chocolate and raspberry is one of my husband's favourite combos so I'll have to give these a try!
White chocolate and raspberries are one of my favorite combinations too, and I love these blondies!
Oh my god these look like HEAVEN.
I'm loving all your whole-grain dessert creations! Thanks for sharing :)
these look + sound amaaaazing + they turned out so darn pretty! white chocolate + raspberry is one of the great all-time combinations without a doubt!
Baltic Maid – What! You gotta make some. May I recommend these? :)
Heidi – I love that you and I can yay together. Yay! :) I already have another whole grain blondie recipe coming up, based off of this one. I can't wait. But I need to come up with whole grain healthified butterscotch blondies. Or healthified butterscotch anything. Don't see how that's going to happen though.
Kammie – Thank you for pinning! I hope you like them. :)
I pinned this as soon as I saw the first photo – it's too good looking not to get pinned. ahhh, I can't wait to make these babies!
Yay! I'm so glad you're sharing these – they look absolutely amazing! I've been thinking of whole grain blondies for a while now(but haven't had any success). I need to try these! I just need some white chocolate :)
I have never made blondies before. They look irresistible. And with whole grain flour, white chocolate and raspberries… what a delicious combination.
Rachel – These are a worthy thing to be in love with. :)
Shelley – Thanks! That is my goal. No whole wheat taste around here. :)
Kathryn – I was shocked that it worked in these! I hope you get around to baking with it.
Jessica – Hehe. That's what I do! There isn't a single recipe on here with white flour. :)
Miryam – Yes! I've been feeling inspired lately. I don't like baking with fresh raspberries because they're SO expensive and fragile and need to be eaten raw. I'll bake with other berries. Just not raspberries. :)
Becca – Thank you, thank you! Oh and bursting berries. I like it. :)
JulieD – Me too! Absolutely love it. I snack on white chocolate way too much. I've had to stop prechopping it so that I can't just get a chunk whenever I want.
Oh my word, these look amazing. I love everything white chocolate!
Wow, these look beautiful! I love the bursting berrie look and the color. Simpley amazing :)
Wow, you are working fast :-) A lot of recipes to catch up on!!
I have not made blondies in for ever. Why don't you like baking with fresh berries?
Yum! I love how you made these 100% whole grain. Must try!
The texture of these looks so good! And I'm so inspired to try baking with coconut butter especially after your rave reviews!
These look so good….and I love that you got the whole wheat taste out of there :)
Yesss! These look so incredibly good. I'm in love :)
