These Nutella Swirl Blondies are a fantastic bake for when you want something easy yet delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone. The combination of Nutella with the fudgy blondie is a delight. A lot of Nutella gets used in this recipe to make sure that every bite is full of the good stuff. Feel free to use anything similar to substitute!
To make these blondies, we rely heavily on the melted butter and light brown sugar to give the fudgy texture and super shiny topping. To make the shiny topping, there are arguments as to whether it’s the egg, or the molten sugar in the butter, so I do both. This recipe cuts neatly into 9 pieces, and the thickness means this is a perfect serving in my opinion. That said, feel free to cut smaller!
These blondies come together really quickly, with minimal hassle! The ingredients should all be easy to find in your local supermarket. The base comprises of a lot of white chocolate, but you don’t need anything fancy. Then you simply pour the batter into your pan and swirl through a LOT of Nutella for the ultimate deliciousness.
TIPS FOR THE BEST Nutella Swirl Blondies
- Brown Sugar: This is crucial to the perfect fudgy texture and deep flavour. You could use dark brown soft if you’re really in a pinch. Light brown is definitely your best friend in blondies.
- Melted Butter: This is what gives the bake that oh so Instagrammable shiny, crisp top. Don’t skip this step!
- Nutella: Of course, feel free to use any other choc/hazelnut spread, or anything similar!
- Melted White Chocolate: This gives the bake its richness and sweetness. Be really careful melting the white chocolate as it is prone to burning!
For these Nutella Swirl Blondies I use a basic 8′ square pan (I like this one), and recommend using an electric or stand mixer to really combine the butter and sugars (with a mixer like this).
