Ingredients
Scale
Blondie Batter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Filling and Topping
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Flaky sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal of the blondies later.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and packed brown sugar until smooth and fully combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat until the mixture is well combined and glossy.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt just until combined. Be careful not to overmix to keep the blondies tender.
- Layer Batter and Nutella: Spread half of the blondie batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Using a spoon, drop dollops of Nutella over the batter layer, then gently spread the Nutella out into an even layer over the batter.
- Add Caramel Layer: Pour the caramel sauce evenly over the Nutella layer, covering it carefully without mixing the layers too much.
- Top with Remaining Batter: Carefully spoon the remaining blondie batter over the caramel layer and spread it to cover the surface evenly, sealing in the fillings.
- Bake: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out clean. The centers may remain slightly gooey, which adds to the indulgence.
- Finish with Sea Salt and Cool: While the blondies are still warm, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top to enhance the flavor. Allow the blondies to cool completely in the pan before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
Notes
- For cleaner cuts, refrigerate the blondies for at least 1 hour before slicing.
- Use a small offset spatula or spoon to gently spread each layer for even distribution.
- For a marbled effect, gently swirl the caramel and Nutella together instead of layering separately.
