Nutella-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Blondies
Nutella-Stuffed Chocolate Chip Blondies combine a dense, buttery blondie base with pockets of creamy Nutella in the center. The batter uses melted butter, brown sugar, and eggs to create a tender texture, with semi-sweet chocolate chips adding extra bursts of chocolate. The Nutella is softened and spread as a smooth middle layer, then covered with remaining blondie batter before baking. This recipe yields a rich bar with a blend of chocolate and hazelnut that holds together well, making it a satisfying dessert or snack option.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter 2 sticks, melted, unsalted
- 2 egg large
- 2 cups light brown sugar packed
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- Nutella one 13-ounce jar
- ½ cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
- To a large, microwave-safe bowl add the butter and heat to melt, about 1 minute on high power.
- Wait momentarily before adding the eggs so you don’t scramble them. Add the eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, and whisk until smooth.
- Add the flour, salt, and stir until just combined, don’t overmix.
- Turn half the batter out into prepared pan; set remaining batter aside.
- To a medium, microwave-safe bowl add the Nutella and heat to soften, about 10 to 15 seconds on high power. Take care not to melt it, just soften it. Heating makes it easier to spread in step 7. You can also microwave the jar of Nutella itself if you’re extra careful to peel away the foil seal.
- Turn Nutella out into the pan and spread into an even, smooth layer.
- Turn remaining batter out over the Nutella. I find it easiest to add heaping rounded tablespoon-sized blobs and use a spatula to smooth them together.
- Evenly top with chocolate chips.
- Bake for about 35 minutes, or until top is set in center and done; don’t overbake as they taste best when they’re slightly underbaked. A toothpick test is unreliable because you will hit melted Nutella. Blondies firm up as they cool.
- Place pan on a wire rack to cool for at least 90 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Store blondies airtight at room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness.
- Freeze leftover blondies for up to six months to extend shelf life.
