Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

2. 2

   Line a 7x11 pan with parchment paper.

3. 3

   In a pan, melt all the butter over medium heat, taking care that it doesn’t burn. Set aside to cool slightly.

4. 4

   In a mixing bowl, stir together the eggs, demerara sugar, and granulated sugar.

5. 5

   Stir in the melted butter, salt, vanilla, flour, baking soda, and baking powder. (Mixture will be quite thick.).

6. 6

   Spoon the batter into the prepared pan in an even layer.

7. 7

   Dollop the Nutella over the surface of the batter, and swirl the tip of a knife in the Nutella to get a pretty, freestyle pattern.

8. 8

   Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking frequently to make sure the blondies don’t overbake.

9. 9

   The blondies are done when the batter is puffed and golden, and is still a little moist in the middle.

10. 10

    The blondies will collapse slightly once they come out of the oven, and will harden into slice-able pieces in about an hour.
