Have you tried baking with Nutella? Well, you should. Nutella's a sweet treat. In fact, "ella" means sweet in Italian. "Nut" is short for hazelnut, the main ingredient in Nutella, which contain antioxidants that reduces inflammation. Try out these Nutella blondies that Mackinze at Delish whipped up!
Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1 cup (215 g.) packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup (100 g.) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 large egg yolk
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
2 1/4 cups (270 g.) all-purpose flour
1 cup Nutella
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Line a 13″x9″ baking pan with parchment, leaving a 2″ overhang on 2 opposite sides.
In a large bowl, whisk butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until combined. Add eggs and egg yolk and whisk until combined. Whisk in vanilla and salt. Add flour and stir with a rubber spatula until just combined.
Pour batter into prepared pan and spread in an even layer. Drop small spoonfuls of Nutella over top. Using a toothpick, swirl Nutella into top of batter.
Bake blondies until edges are golden brown and top feels firm in the center, 24 to 27 minutes. Let cool.
Using parchment overhang, lift blondies from pan and transfer to a cutting board. Cut into squares.
