Why this recipe is works
- Easy to make- these blondies are ridiculously easy to make. All you need is one bowl and totally fool proof! Bakers at any level can easily make this recipe.
- Sweet and salty- the combination of the peanut butter and the Nutella is a match made in heaven. It won't disappoint those who are fans of both!
- Nutella- Huge swirls of Nutella right on top so each bite has a strong Nutella flavor.
- Peanut butter- melted peanut swirled with Nutella for the best combination.
- Chocolate chips- I use a dark chocolate Lindt bar you can the brand I used here. Semi sweet chocolate chips also work just great!
Ingredients you will need!
Here are some of the ingredients you will need. For the full ingredient list, you can check out the recipe card below:
- Unsalted Butter- I use melted butter. Make sure its cooled before adding the eggs!
- Brown sugar- I use light brown sugar.
- Nutella- I use about 4 spoonfuls, but if you like more, add as much as you'd like!
- Peanut butter- I use about 4 spoonfuls, but if you like more, add as much as you'd like!
- Chocolate chips- I don't actually use chocolate chips in this recipe, I use a chocolate bar, but if you only have chocolate chips on hand, you can use them!
- Egg- you will use two eggs totally, one whole egg, and one egg yolk.
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Whisk the dry ingredients together. In a large size bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar for about 30 seconds.
Step 2: Add the eggs. This part is VERY important to get a nice shine on top of the blondies. Add the whole egg, and the egg yolk. Whisk the eggs vigorously for about 90 seconds. It will start to lighten in color.
Step 3: Add the vanilla. Whisk in the vanilla bean paste or extract.
Step 4: Fold in the dry ingredients. to a rubber spatula, and fold in the flour, baking soda, salt and the chocolate chips. Don't over mix. Mix until there are no more flour streaks.
Step 5: Add the peanut butter and Nutella swirls. Pour the dough into the prepped pan, and all the spoonfuls of Nutella and the melted peanut butter. Drop the peanut butter and Nutella on top and use a butter knife or a toothpick to make big swirls. Do not over-swirl-you want big stripes of peanut butter and Nutella. Add the extra chocolate chips.
Step 6: Bake and serve. Bake for 25-30 minutes. The top will start to brown, and the edges will puff up a little, that's when the blondies are done. Let them slightly cool or completely cool, cut and serve.
Expert Baking tips
- Use a high quality, light color pan. This is so important. It will ensure that you don't burn the sides of your blondies. I got my pan here:
- Preheat your oven for 30 minutes before you start baking. This will ensure that your oven is up to temp.
- Spoon and level your flour to get a more accurate measurement.
FAQ
What if I don't have a 8×8?
You can use a 9×9. If you want to use a 9×13, make sure to double the recipe.
How do you get those sharp cuts?
I use a sharp knife and I clean it after every cut. I also make sure that my dessert is cold before I cut it.
Can I turn these into cookies?
No, with the swirls of peanut butter and Nutella it would be hard to turn these into cookies.
