Description

Delight in the rich and gooey Peanut Butter Nutella Blondies, combining creamy peanut butter and luscious Nutella swirls baked to a perfect fudgy texture. These blondies feature a beautiful marbled pattern and a satisfying crunch from dark chocolate, perfect for an indulgent treat or sharing with friends.

Ingredients

Blondie Base

  • 125 g salted butter
  • 150 g soft light brown sugar
  • 100 g crunchy peanut butter
  • 2 free range eggs
  • 100 g plain flour

Chocolate Swirl

  • 175 g Nutella
  • 125 g very dark chocolate (70%)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 180°C (356°F) and prepare a 25cm x 25cm baking tin by lining it with baking paper for easy removal of the blondies.
  2. Melt Butter and Sugar: Gently melt the salted butter and soft light brown sugar together over low heat, stirring continuously until fully combined and smooth. Remove from heat promptly.
  3. Add Peanut Butter: Stir the crunchy peanut butter into the melted butter and sugar mixture until well incorporated. Let this mixture cool for 5 to 10 minutes to avoid cooking the eggs in the next step.
  4. Prepare Chocolate Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine Nutella and very dark chocolate. Microwave for 20 seconds, then stir thoroughly. If not completely melted, repeat microwaving in 20-second bursts, stirring well each time, until smooth and lump-free. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.
  5. Incorporate Eggs: Beat the peanut butter mixture and add eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully integrated before adding the next. This helps create a smooth batter.
  6. Add Flour: Gently fold in the plain flour until just combined to maintain a tender texture in the blondies.
  7. Transfer Batter to Tin: Pour the blondie batter into the prepared tin and smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
  8. Create Chocolate Swirls: Spoon 4 or 5 horizontal lines of the melted Nutella and dark chocolate mixture across the surface of the batter.
  9. Make a Marbled Pattern: Using the edge of a knife, drag vertically through the chocolate lines, first top to bottom, then bottom to top about 10cm apart, creating a decorative swirl pattern.
  10. Bake: Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes. Check doneness with a skewer at 17 minutes and again at 20 minutes; it should come out only just clean for a fudgy texture.
  11. Cool and Serve: Allow the blondies to cool before slicing. They are best enjoyed slightly underbaked to maintain their gooey consistency.

Notes

  • Use a low oven temperature to prevent over-baking and preserve the fudgy texture.
  • Be cautious when melting the chocolate in the microwave to avoid burning it.
  • Peanut butter can be substituted with smooth if preferred, but crunchy adds a nice texture.
  • For easier slicing, let the blondies cool completely before cutting.
  • These blondies store well in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
