Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate and Butter Mixture
- 200g White Chocolate
- 175g Unsalted Butter
Wet Ingredients
- 200g Caster Sugar
- 2 Medium Eggs
- 100–150g Ripe Banana, mashed (about 1 large banana)
- 30g Golden Syrup
Dry Ingredients
- 280g Plain Flour
- 20g Cornflour
Add-ins and Decoration
- 200g Milk Chocolate, chopped
- 100g Hazelnuts, chopped, plus extra for decoration
- 100–150g Nutella Spread (for swirling and decorating)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to Gas Mark 4 / 180ºC. Line a 9×9 inch square baking tin with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the blondies after baking.
- Melt Butter and White Chocolate: Place unsalted butter and white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short bursts, stirring well between each burst, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted to prevent splitting.
- Add Sugar: Stir the caster sugar into the melted butter and white chocolate mixture until well combined.
- Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Mix in the mashed ripe banana, eggs, and golden syrup until fully combined, creating a smooth batter.
- Add Dry Ingredients and Mix-ins: Gradually fold in the plain flour and cornflour until no flour streaks remain. Stir through chopped milk chocolate and chopped hazelnuts evenly throughout the batter.
- Pour and Swirl Nutella: Transfer the batter into the prepared baking tin and spread evenly. Drop spoonfuls of Nutella over the top and use a knife or skewer to gently swirl it into the batter for a marbled effect. Decorate with additional chopped hazelnuts.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. The blondies are done when a slight wobble remains in the center. Check doneness every 2-3 minutes after 25 minutes as baking times may vary based on your oven.
- Cool and Set: Allow the blondies to cool completely in the tin. For best results, refrigerate the blondies for 3-4 hours or overnight to set properly before slicing.
- Serve: Once chilled and firm, slice into squares and enjoy your Nutella Swirled Banana Blondies!
Notes
- Ensure the white chocolate and butter are melted gently to avoid seizing.
- Ripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture — the riper, the better.
- Swirling Nutella into the batter creates beautiful marbling and adds extra flavor.
- Chilling the blondies after baking helps achieve clean slices and enhances flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
