What is Nutella

If you’ve tasted Nutella, you already know that today’s blondies are going to be amazing.

For those not familiar, Nutella is a spread made from chocolate and hazelnuts.

It has the consistency of peanut butter with a sweet, nutty chocolate flavor. You can spread it on toast, serve it as a dip, or eat it on a sandwich.

But my favorite way to eat Nutella (aside from straight from the jar with a spoon) is to bake it into all kinds of delicious desserts.

From Nutella No Bake Cookies to Nutella Stuffed Donut Holes, I’ve never met a Nutella filled treat I didn’t want to devour. This Banana Cake with Nutella Frosting is the stuff dreams are made of.

But today, I’m talking about blondies. Not just any blondies. Nutella swirled blondies.

Here’s why this recipe works:

  • The thick blondie batter bakes up perfectly fudgy.
  • Nutella spread is swirled right into the batter!
  • It’s a showstopping combo of vanilla, chocolate and hazelnut flavors.
  • Delicious on their own. . . or as the base for a Nutella ice cream sundae!

Ingredient Notes

This recipe starts with a simple blondie batter made with a handful of ingredients:

We could stop there and have some pretty good blondies. But today we’re going the extra mile and adding. . .

Nutella – This is swirled over the blondie batter before baking. You can use any variety of chocolate hazelnut spread; it doesn’t have to be name brand.

Tips and Tricks

You can enjoy the blondies as bars, or do what I do and topping them with vanilla ice cream.

  • I prefer the taste of these blondies the second day. They get chewier with a more intense flavor.
  • Warm up leftover blondies in the microwave for a few seconds. Then add a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. My Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream is my favorite! I also have a no-churn ice cream if you don’t have an ice cream maker.
  • Melt Nutella in the microwave. Drizzle it over the ice cream. For the final step, add some sprinkles too. Because, why not?!

Recipe FAQs

Can I use salted butter in this recipe?

Yes, salted butter will work just fine! If using salted butter, omit the added kosher salt from the recipe.

How do I store blondies with Nutella?

Store these in an airtight container at room temperature. They taste even better the second day!

How long do these blondies keep?

Properly stored, Nutella blondies will keep for about 1 week.

How do I melt Nutella?

Place the Nutella spread in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 20-30 second increments and stir. If the spread still looks too thick, continue heating in 10-15 second increments until it achieves a pourable consistency.

What sprinkles are best?

Any kind of sprinkles! I used Jimmies sprinkles today. But you can just nonpareils, confetti sprinkles, sugar sprinkles or any other version you like to eat on your ice cream.

  1. HI! I didn’t have any light brown sugar so I used dark brown. My dough came out runny, and not like the consistency in your video. Would the dark brown made it like that?
    But it turned okay.
    Will try again when I have a light brown sugar.
    Thank you,
    May
