1-First Step: Preheat and Prep: Begin by preheating your oven to 180 degrees Celsius and grease a 20 cm square baking tin. This sets the stage for even baking and prevents sticking, making cleanup a breeze.

2-Second Step: Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 200 grams of self-raising flour, 200 grams of caster sugar, and 50 grams of cocoa powder. Stir them together until well blended, creating a base that gives your blondie that perfect structure and flavor.

3-Third Step: Add the Wet Ingredients: Next, melt 100 grams of butter and let it cool slightly before adding it to the dry mix along with 200 milliliters of milk and 2 large eggs. Mix everything until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain for a consistent batter.

4-Fourth Step: Incorporate the Blueberry: Gently fold in 200 grams of fresh blueberries into the batter, being careful not to crush them. This step adds that crisp, fruity layer that makes these blondies special and bursting with flavor.

5-Fifth Step: Bake the Mixture: Pour the batter into your prepared tin and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on it to avoid over-baking and maintain that gooey center.

6-Final Step: Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the tin from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes before cutting into bars. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream for extra indulgence, or store for later enjoyment.
