• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, like walnuts or pecans)

For the Nutella Filling:

• 1/2 cup Nutella

Timing

Making the Nutella-Stuffed Blondies takes about 15 minutes for preparation and 20-25 minutes for baking.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Blondie Batter

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract, stirring until smooth.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. If using, fold in the chopped nuts.

Step 2: Assemble the Blondies

1. Spread Half the Batter: Pour half of the blondie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
2. Add Nutella: Spoon the Nutella over the batter, spreading it gently but leaving a border around the edges.
3. Top with Remaining Batter: Carefully spread the remaining blondie batter on top of the Nutella layer, ensuring it covers the filling completely.

Step 3: Bake the Blondies

1. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few moist crumbs are okay).
2. Cool: Allow the blondies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 4: Serve

1. Cut and Enjoy: Once cooled, cut the blondies into squares and serve. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature!
