# Expert Advice:
01 -
- These blondies stay incredibly moist for days, thanks to the blueberries releasing their juices as they cool
- The buttery vanilla base lets the blueberries shine without overpowering their natural sweetness
02 -
- Overbaking is the enemy of chewy blondies, pull them when they still have a slight wobble in the center
- Frozen blueberries work beautifully but add a couple of minutes to the baking time
03 -
- Room temperature ingredients blend more easily and create a smoother batter
- Letting the blondies cool completely might be the hardest part but it makes cutting clean squares so much easier
