So, I guess I had one more Nutella-based recipe in me, as a carry over from World Nutella Bar, which was yesterday. These Oatmeal Nutella Bar are a riff on my usual crumble bars, only with two doses of Nutella and a bunch of oatmeal, they are more like crunchy granola bars. Maybe even healthy enough for breakfast, certainly delicious enough for a snack or pick-me-up. Quick and easy to make if you want to be making some yourself.
Want a dessert ready in 5 minutes or less — with the caveat that you have a microwave — then this is it. Nutella Mug Cake! It takes 3 minute to whip together and about 2 minutes to microwave. The part that might take you the longest is finding a couple of pretty mugs (make sure they are microwave safe) and to dig through your pantry for the rest of the ingredients. Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream would make this dreamy. Minimum effort, more than maximum return!
In my never ending quest to make all the things sourdough, I have now added Sourdough Nutella Swirls to the repertoire! It helps that it is soon World Nutella Day as well, but that was just the excuse that I needed. These are nutella-y and gooey and delicious, and surprisingly, not overly sweet (I made the dough a little less sweet than I naturally would). Definitely a repeat recipe. They are best the first day, but I’ve been eating them now for 3 days and they are still great!
It’s a cookie in bar form! Not brownie but a blondie! In essence, you can use the exact same recipe to make cookies, but I was in the mood to make bars, so here we are. These are easy to make, flavorful and easily substitutable — in other words, don’t like dried cranberries or pistachios or white chocolate, swap out for raisins, walnuts and semi-sweet chips. Lots of options!
