Oh yes, Nutella blondies…
People are often surprised when they find out what type of music I like.
Perhaps this is due to my innocent demeanor or the fact that I am always wearing pink.
Or that I have the stereotypically “girly” job of baking for a living.
But the truth is you’d be much more likely to find me listening to hard rock or metal than Katy Perry or Beyoncé as I measure ingredients, stir batters, clean dishes, and pull batches of homemade chocolate chip blondies from the oven.
While wearing pink.

Nutella Chocolate Chip Blondies
Adapted from: Chocolate Chip Chickpea Blondies
- 1 1/2 cups chickpeas or white beans (1 can, drained and rinsed very well) (250g after draining)
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar of choice or xylitol
- pinch uncut stevia OR 2 additional tbsp sugar of choice
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup choc-hazelnut spread or Homemade Healthy Nutella
- 1/4 cup milk of choice
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, plus extra for the top if desired
Grease an 8-in square baking pan, and set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a high-quality food processor (taste and texture will be much better if a blender is not used), process all ingredients but the chips until smooth. Stir in the chips, then smooth into the baking pan, being sure to scoop out every last bit of the batter. Sprinkle some extra chips on the top if desired for presentation. Bake 30 minutes, then remove from the oven to cool. The Nutella blondies will look underdone at first, but this is okay. Once completely cool, cover the pan and refrigerate overnight. The texture will be much firmer the next day.

this may be a dumb question but do I have to peel the chick peas?? Making them tonight! I only have one can that should be enough right?
Nope! No need!
I can’t wait to try these – simply amazing!
Love this recipe! I think it’s fantastic your learning to play the guitar! I always wanted to learn to play the piano and as I neared 50 I started taking lessons. Am I good, not really, but I can now read music and play a little. I think people might be surprised that I love Indie Rock music so I can dance around the house. “…sing like no one is listening and dance like no one is watching.” You’re the best!
My 8 year old son has just started to learn to play guitar. He let me have a go today and i found it so tricky! He’s really enjoying it though. x
These look awesome! My music collection ranges from hard rock to classical, and everything in between. Lately when baking or cooking I’ve been on a Clutch, tool, or Led Zeppelin kick, but it varies. Also Like a Storm’s Love the Way You Hate Me from chaos Theory Part 1 is in heavy rotation on my iPod right now. 🙂
These look fantastic Katie! You and my husband would get along. He loves hard rock/metal. I have to admit, it gives me a headache. 😉
I highly approve of the Rock Blondies! S’the way to go, and Nutella, mmmmm 😀 Great recipe Katie! x
I love metal, too, and I crunch numbers for a living 🙂 Appearance and job have nothing to do with music! At least to me anyhow. Who are a few of your favorite bands? And good luck with the guitar! I taught myself years ago and it’s always something fun the pull out every now and then when I have the time.
I’m a metalhead, man! And I look it, too. Except when I say “metal”, I mean the stuff that isn’t allowed anywhere but an independent record store as it’s too grimy. But I do dig a Beyonce jam once in a while.
I’m actually kind of surprised you posted a Nutella recipe on the first day of fall….I was ready to get festive! I seriously bought a can of pumpkin today to celebrate. Oh well, brownies here they come!
Yum these look so yummy! I want one! I haven’t had dessert today. I love all kinds of music. Right now it’s a trying day so i’m listening to a little jazz right now. Happy Tuesday!
Hard rock for sure! I loved punk and 90’s grung too.
Katie I’m in the exact same boat as you!!! I’m your stereotypical fashion-obsessed, blonde, pink-loving girly girl, but I’m also the biggest closet metalhead! I love a wide variety of genres, but my favourites are Children of Bodom, Type O Negative, Electric Wizard, Darkthrone, Black Sabbath, Korpiklaani, Epica, and The Sisters of Mercy!
Dying to know what your favourite bands are!
CAN WE PLEASE BE FRIENDS?!
Mmm, look amazing as usual. I listen to Christian contemporary and also lots of classical; I’m a pianist. 🙂
I love me some good rock opera! Next to Normal is definitely my go to album; but I’ll listen to just about any modern musical theater tunes.
These look delightful! I don’t really like music. Yet I was in High school marching band!
I don’t eat beans anymore but am always trying variations on this type of treat. Dexotinista has a version I make when it’s cool enough to use the oven. Took lessons a few years ago from Gregg Hammond in DC – he was great. Picked up a killer Santa Cruz acoustic and it plays like butter. Lately it has been Linkin Park, and my one and only serious band love for the past (nearly) two decades, Foo Fighters (rejuv’d after seeing them at 9:30 Club). Enjoy.
