👩🏻🍳 Here's how to make it
Thick and Chewy Nutella Blondies recipe step-by-step
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 180ºC and line a 23 cm (9-inch) square baking tin with baking paper.
- Mix Sugar and Eggs: In a medium bowl, mix the sugar and eggs until well combined.
- Add Melted Butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave, then let it cool for a few minutes. Once cooled, pour the butter into the sugar and egg mixture. Whisk well.
- Incorporate Flour: Add the flour to the bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. The batter will be very thick.
- Pour and Swirl Nutella: Pour the batter into the prepared baking tin and smooth the surface. Drop large spoonfuls of Nutella on top of the batter and use a toothpick or knife to swirl it through the mixture.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the blondies are set with a slight crackle on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Cool and Cut: Let the blondies cool completely in the pan before cutting them into 9 equal squares.
📖 Variations
- Coconut Sugar: Substitute brown sugar with coconut sugar for a different flavour.
- Gluten-Free Flour: Use gluten-free flour to make the recipe gluten-free.
- Peanut Butter: Replace Nutella with another biscoff spread or peanut butter for a different twist.
- White Chocolate Chips: Use white chocolate chips to contrast colour and flavour.
💡 Chef's Guide: Expert Tips
Drawing on a decade of experience in Michelin-starred kitchens and Cordon Bleu training, I have compiled my top tips for recipe success.
- Parchment Paper: Use parchment paper with overhang to easily lift the blondies out of the pan for cutting.
- Nutella Heating: Slightly warm Nutella before dropping spoonfuls on the batter for easier swirling.
- Texture Adjustment: For chewier blondies, reduce the baking time slightly. For cakier blondies, bake a bit longer.
- Flavour Enhancements: A pinch of sea salt on top before baking can enhance the overall flavour.
🍯 Storing and reheating leftovers
- Fridge: Store the cooled blondies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Freezer: For longer storage, wrap each blondie in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheat: To refresh the blondies, microwave for 10-15 seconds or warm in a 150ºC oven for 5-10 minutes.

I've been searching for a nutella Blondie recipe and tried a few with VERY mixed, and not always edible, results. This is the simplest and the most tasty and is now most definitely my Nutella Blondie recipe, thank you

So happy you loved them! They're one of my favourite recipes, too. Why should we have to choose between blondies and brownies when we can have both! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment. It's so appreciated! 🙂
