These Nutella Blondies are rich, gooey, and loaded with swirls of Nutella and salted caramel. Every ingredient works together for that perfect chewy, buttery bite.

• Brown Sugar: Adds a deep, caramel-like sweetness and keeps the blondies moist and chewy.
• Butter: Softened butter gives the batter its rich, melt-in-your-mouth texture and helps create that golden crust.
• Nutella: The star of the show… those creamy swirls bake into pockets of chocolate hazelnut goodness.
• Sea Salt: A pinch balances the sweetness and enhances the caramel and Nutella flavors beautifully.

Note: Please see recipe card at the bottom for a full list of ingredients with measurements.

How To Make Nutella Blondies

1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line a 7×10-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.

2. Melt Sugar: In a nonstick saucepan, add brown sugar over medium-high heat. Stir gently until it begins to melt.

3. Add the Butter: Lower the heat and stir in the butter, one tablespoon at a time, until it melts completely and forms a smooth mixture.

4. Finish the Caramel: Remove from heat, then slowly whisk in the cream and salt until the caramel becomes smooth and shiny. Set aside to cool slightly.

5. Mix the Base: In a large bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, then whisk until smooth.

6. Combine and Swirl: Add the flour and salt, mixing just until combined. Gently fold in the caramel sauce to create ribbons throughout the batter.

7. Add the Nutella: Pour half the batter into the prepared pan, then drop teaspoonfuls of Nutella over the surface. Spread lightly, then cover with the remaining batter.

8. Bake: Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack, then slice while warm.

If you’re planning a little indulgent spread, these Nutella Blondies pair beautifully with Creamy Garlic Mushroom, a savory side that adds an earthy balance. For something cozy yet refreshing, try them after a comforting bowl of Creamy Pumpkin Soup. And if you’re going all out, finish the meal with a slice of Garlic Cheese Bread.

Tips For Making Nutella Blondies

• Warm your Nutella Blondies for a few seconds in the microwave before serving. It brings back that gooey, fresh-from-the-oven texture that makes them impossible to resist.
• Let the caramel cool just a little before swirling it into the batter so it stays thick and gives you those beautiful ribbons on top.
• Line your pan with parchment paper that hangs over the sides. It makes lifting and slicing the blondies so much easier, and way less messy.
• Take them out of the oven while the center still looks slightly soft. They’ll keep cooking as they cool, giving you that perfect fudgy bite.
