How To Make Nutella Brownies
Would you believe these brownies are made with only one bowl, three ingredients, and 30 minutes? Get ready to have your mind blown! I found that this is the perfect recipe to whip up whenever I have a sweet tooth but don’t want to spend a lot of time baking.
- Prepare the oven and pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- Combine the Nutella and eggs: Using an electric hand mixer, beat together the Nutella and eggs until smooth.
- Mix in the flour: Add the flour and mix until just combined.
- Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 25-30 minutes.
Hot tip: Do you want a smaller portion? Halve the recipe and bake it in a 9×7 inch baking pan.
Tips for Perfect Nutella Brownies
If you’re looking for a dense, fudgy brownie that’s packed with chocolate hazelnut flavor, you’re in the right place. Listen up to these tips to ensure sweet success!
- Use a metal baking dish. Metal heats up quicker than glass, which results in more even baking. If you only have a glass baking dish, decrease the oven temperature to 325°F and bake the brownies for 5-10 minutes longer.
- Grease and line the baking dish. Lightly oiling the baking dish helps the parchment paper to stick. Make sure the parchment slightly overhangs on the sides for easy removal of the brownies.
- Warm up the Nutella. We love the thickness of this chocolatey spread, but it can be a bit difficult to mix when it’s cold. Remove the lid and aluminum foil cover on the jar, then microwave the Nutella in 30 second bursts until it’s smooth and runny.
- Beat the eggs thoroughly. You know that shiny, crackly crust on brownies? It’s usually achieved by aerating the eggs, which simply means beating them for a minute or so until they’re foamy.
- Add mix-ins or toppings (optional). Fold chocolate chips or chopped hazelnuts into the brownie batter for more Nutella-y flavor, or scatter them on top before baking for a crunch.
- Avoid overbaking the brownies. The perfect brownie texture relies on slight underbaking — when you insert a toothpick into the center, it should come away clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Storage
Good news — this decadent dessert tastes even better the next day! Allow the Nutella brownies to cool completely, then transfer them to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to three days. For extended enjoyment, refrigerate the brownies for up to five days.
