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.

Oh my gosh these look so yummy! Definitely giving this recipe a go! x
It is crazy there is nutella in there, it doesn’t look like it at all. SPeaking of girls like rock music, did you happen to see the kids cooking show with Rachel Ray? THere is a tiny little girl that likes rock music, and it just reminded me of you.
I haven’t, but that sounds adorable!
Our styles seem to be pretty much the same then! 🙂
Wow these look incredible!
I think it’s cool to hear about someone else listening to heavier music while baking. That’s what puts me into the zone where I can get down to business making a cake. It makes everything so much more enjoyable 🙂 Lately I’ve been doing EVERYTHING to The Used, who I’ve always loved. What are some bands you listen to?
By the way, I make variations of your milkshakes (not super sweet ones) for breakfasts many mornings and love them 🙂 Breakfast is so much yummier now!
I had a friend in high school who also was really into wearing pink and baking and she was a hardcore Eminem fan! You really can’t judge a book by it’s cover!
These look super yummy 🙂
Me too! I love hard rock and metal (real metal lol) and lately have been on either a hip-hop/rap or drum and bass/techno kick. I really listen to a whole lot of everything except the typical songs played over and over again on the radio lol! There are a few now and then I like but that’s usually it. IHeartRadio is great bc I can listen to the station from home that always played good music! And these look soo good! I will be making some this weekend for sure!
These look delicious!
I, too, love hard rock and metal. Blonde hair blue eyed little me 😉 I often sit in my cube at work and listen to Tool, Slipknot, Nonpoint, Rage Against the Machine, etc. I think it surprises people because I’m the only female (I’m a mechanical engineer) and I am constantly bringing in baked goods. Not to mention I am super soft spoken.
I am your diametric opposite. When people find out I’m a singer, they assume I sing hard rock or metal. I’m a torch singer! Nobody would guess that I’m into pop music or that I have an undying love for the Beatles (and all their solo albums too). The truth is that I love music from all countries and all eras. Some people think that’s weird, but I think it’s weird that people won’t give polka a chance. You know, polka and metal are very similar. The rhythms are pretty much identical!
Did you hear that Faith No More is going back in the recording studio to do a new album???? I am so excited! If you don’t know who I’m talking about, they do experimental metal. I like to call it experimetal. They incorporate elements of jazz, funk, and other genres into metal. They do mostly originals, but they have done covers of such artists as The Commodores, The Bee Gees, and Burt Bacharach. Definitely my favorite hard rock band!
Good luck with learning the guitar! I mean, break a leg! If you decide to become a recording artist, maybe we can do a song together.
Oh and just so you know, I’ve been making your recipes with kamut flour lately, and they have all turned out great so far!
Hi Katie
I made these last night so they could hang out in the frig over night and be ready for me to dive into today !
Only issue is… mine aren’t blond at all … they are very brown. I used 1/4 cup store bought Nutella and 1/2 Trader Joe’s chocolate chip , didn’t even put extra ones on top!
They are still wonderful : ) Will make again for sure !
Thank you so much for making them!
