Nutella Swirl Blondies

Irresistible nutella swirl blondies recipe…. swirl your way into edible awesomeness!

Happy July, you guys! My customary semi-annual self realization struck as I was penning this utterly delicious nutella swirl blondies recipe down…

I didn’t write down new year resolutions this year. But I did make plans of a healthier new year. Now, it is ironical that I’m talking about a healthy lifestyle in a dessert post. However, I think it is also apt, since I’ve managed to majorly cut down the cravings and the sugar from my meals – despite experimenting with sugar all the time.

You want to know what the secret is…..?

SHARE!

Share. Spread the love. Distribute the sugar… Everyone gets a little bit of everything.. Everyone is happy.. And no one over-indulges! (although, it may be hard to resist the urge to eat more than 1 slice of this blondie!)

Step 1 – Start of with a basic blondie base. Brown Sugar, Yogurt, Oil, Flour. (you can totally pull off a nutella swirl brownie too!)

Step 2 – Pour the batter into a square baking dish.

Step 3 – Dollops of Nutella (or any chocolate paste, really!) to be dropped un-strategically over the batter. Take a knife and go to town with your swirls!

Step 4 – Bake – Slice – Serve!

Pin Recipe

Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup Brown Sugar (preferably dark)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 4 tablespoons Water
• 1/4 cup Oil
• 1/3 cup plain Yogurt, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon Butterscotch extract (or vanilla essence)
• 3/4 cup All Purpose Flour
• a pinch of Salt (skip if using salted butter)
• 1/4 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1/2 cup Nutella or any Chocolate Paste or Ganache, softened in microwave for 10–20 seconds

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 160C. Grease and line a 8 or 9 inch square baking pan
2. Gently bring sugar, butter, water to a boil. Make sure the sugar melts into the butter and water. (If using granulated sugar, be careful and ensure you swirl the pan around to avoid crystallization.
3. Stir with a spoon to bring down the temperature of the sugar mixture. Add oil, yogurt and stir well.
4. Sift in the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Gently fold in the dry mixture into the wet to form a smooth batter.
5. Pour mixture into the prepared baking pan.
6. Meanwhile, if your nutella (or chocolate paste) is too thick, microwave / heat it for 10-20 seconds. It should be of pourable consistency.
7. Add tablespoon of the nutella on the poured batter in various places. Take a knife and swirl it around to make a swirl pattern you like. Don’t mix too much or you will end up with a chocolate batter as opposed to a blondie with swirls.
8. Bake at 160C for 23-30 minutes or until the blondie is completely cooked through. Let it cool completely. Flip onto a plate, slice into squares and serve.

Note

1. If using convection, reduce temperature to 140-150C.
2. Best served fresh on the day. But also stays good in the fridge for 3 days. I don’t recommend storing these longer than 3 days.
