Ingredients
Scale
Blondie Batter
- ¾ cup unsalted butter (browned for best flavor)
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
Swirl
- ¼ cup Nutella
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment.
- Brown butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, swirling until golden and nutty, about 5–7 minutes. Cool slightly.
- Whisk browned butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
- Gently fold in flour and salt until just combined.
- Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Drop Nutella by spoonfuls over the top and swirl with a knife or toothpick.
- Bake 25–30 minutes, until edges are golden and top is set. Cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Don’t overmix batter; it keeps blondies tender.
- Sprinkle sea salt on top or add chopped nuts/white chocolate for extra flavor.
- Store airtight: 4 days at room temp, 7 days in fridge, or freeze up to 1 month.
- Let chilled blondies sit at room temp before serving to refresh texture.
