I love blondies, I love Nutella, and I love peanut butter so naturally I had to combine the three to make one fudgy treat and boy am I glad I did. These Nutella Swirl Peanut Butter Blondies put a huge smile on my face.
Ok guys for real I love blondies about as much as I love brownies and these are no different. They are full of peanut butter and Nutella flavour and super fudgy, which I love. I could legit eat the entire pan if I didn’t have some self control.
So I’ve made this recipe several times before but I decided to add some vegetable oil to it this time and you know what it provided a bit more moisture to the blondies which I love. It actually made them more fudgy if that’s even possible. So of course I tested this again just to make sure it came out the same way and well it did and that makes me sooooooo happy.
Now lets talk Nutella I mean you could probably put it on just about everything and well what goes well with peanut butter if not chocolate so of course I had to add it in. I didn’t want to add in too much however, I wanted the peanut butter flavour to really shine here so just enough was added to have a that great chocolate/peanut butter flavour.
What are Blondies?
Blondies are pretty much everything you will find in a brownie minus the cocoa powder. So really it’s a blonde brownie.
Are they easy to make?
Yes, yes and yes; these are super easy to make. Pretty much using ingredients you probably already have in your pantry with the addition of Nutella (or any chocolate hazelnut spread). They come together in know time and keep in the fridge for days or freezer for up to 2 months.
Guys I urge you to bake them you will not regret it. They are rich and fudgy and full of peanut butter and Nutella flavour. If you love peanut butter and Nutella like I do I know you will enjoy these delectable blondies as much as I do. Honestly you can’t NOT make them.
Remember to tag me on my IG @marisblissfulbites I love to see what you guys are baking.
