White Chocolate Brownies
If you love brownies but want to try something a little different, these White Chocolate Brownies are a delicious alternative to the traditional chocolate version. Instead of relying on cocoa for their signature flavor, white chocolate brownies offer a sweet, buttery taste and a rich texture that makes them a welcome addition to any dessert table.
White chocolate brings a creamy sweetness to baked treats and pairs beautifully with a tender brownie-style crumb. These bars are ideal for anyone who enjoys a dessert that feels familiar but offers a change from the usual chocolate brownie. Cut them into small squares for a party platter, serve them with coffee after dinner, or enjoy one as an afternoon treat.
For the best results, measure your ingredients carefully and follow the recipe card’s mixing and baking instructions. Avoid overmixing once the dry ingredients are incorporated, since excessive mixing can affect the texture. Keep an eye on the brownies toward the end of the stated baking time. The center should be set according to the recipe’s doneness cues, while the edges may become firmer as the brownies cool.
Allow the brownies to cool before slicing. This helps them hold their shape and gives you neater squares. A sharp knife wiped clean between cuts can also make serving easier. For a simple presentation, serve them as they are, or add a light dusting of powdered sugar if it suits the finished recipe.
A good baking pan can help the brownies bake more evenly. If you need one, browse these square baking pans on Amazon and choose a size that matches the recipe instructions.
Whether you’re baking for a family gathering, sharing homemade treats with friends, or simply satisfying a sweet tooth, White Chocolate Brownies are an easy dessert to add to your baking rotation. Keep the recipe handy for the next time you want a brownie with a creamy, white-chocolate twist.

White Chocolate Brownies
- Total Time: :45
- Yield: 18 1x
Ingredients
- 1 cup (230g; 2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 6 ounces (170g) pure white chocolate, coarsely chopped*
- 1 and 1/2 cups (300g) granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 and 1/2 cups (188g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- optional: 1 cup (180g) white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and grease a 9×13 inch pan or line with aluminum foil or parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the finished brownies out (makes cutting easier!). Set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and chopped white chocolate. Melt in 30 second increments, whisking after each, until completely smooth. Whisk in the sugar until completely combined, then whisk in the eggs and vanilla. Whisk in the flour and salt, then fold in the white chocolate chips until combined. Batter will be thick. Spread evenly into prepared pan.
- Bake for 30 minutes, covering loosely with aluminum foil halfway through. Test the brownies with a toothpick at the 30 minute mark. Insert it into the center of the pan. If it comes out with wet batter, the brownies are not done. If there are only a few moist crumbs, the brownies are done. Keep checking every 2 minutes until you have moist crumbs. My brownies take 32 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely before enjoying.
Notes
White Chocolate brownies freeze well up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator then bring to room temperature before serving.
*White Chocolate: White chocolate bars are typically sold in 4 ounce bars. You’ll need two.
