Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 cup Nutella
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder (for a slightly cakier texture, optional)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (optional for extra sweetness)
- ¼ cup cocoa powder (optional for an extra chocolate boost)
- ½ cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra gooeyness)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Nutella, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the flour, salt, cocoa powder, and baking powder (if using), and gently fold until just combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips if you want extra gooey brownies.
Step 3: Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter).
Step 4: Cool and Serve
Let the brownies cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing. For clean cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it between cuts.
Pro Tips for the Best Nutella Brownies
- Don’t overbake – The key to fudgy brownies is removing them from the oven while they are still slightly underbaked in the center.
- Use quality ingredients – High-quality Nutella and chocolate chips will enhance the flavor.
- Let them cool – Brownies set as they cool, so be patient for the best texture.
- Customize them – Add chopped hazelnuts for a crunch or swirl in peanut butter for a flavor twist.
Serving Suggestions
- With vanilla ice cream – A warm brownie with a scoop of ice cream is divine.
- Drizzle with melted chocolate – For an extra rich touch.
- Dust with powdered sugar – Simple yet elegant.
- Pair with coffee – The rich chocolate flavor goes great with a hot cup of coffee or espresso.
