Ingredients
Scale
For the Blondies:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, like walnuts or pecans)
For the Nutella Filling:
- 1/2 cup Nutella
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the melted unsalted butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix thoroughly until the batter is uniform.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
- Mix Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing. If using, gently fold in the chopped nuts to add texture and flavor.
- Assemble Blondies: Pour half of the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly to form a base layer.
- Add Nutella Layer: Spoon the Nutella over the batter layer, spreading it gently while leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow during baking.
- Top Batter Layer: Carefully spread the remaining blondie batter over the Nutella, ensuring it covers the filling completely without mixing.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, making them easier to cut and serve.
- Serve: Once fully cooled, cut the blondies into squares and enjoy them warm or at room temperature for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- You can substitute nuts with your favorite type or omit them entirely for a nut-free version.
- For easier cutting, refrigerate the blondies after cooling to firm up the Nutella filling.
- Store blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Reheat gently before serving to enjoy the Nutella in its creamy, molten form.
