Ingredients
Scale
Nutella Brownie Batter
- 1 cup Nutella (about 280 grams)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (about 100 grams)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (about 65 grams)
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (about 40 grams)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the brownies at the perfect temperature.
- Prepare Pan: Grease an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together Nutella, eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring even incorporation.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt to remove lumps and evenly distribute the dry components.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet Nutella mixture, stirring gently until just combined to maintain a fudgy texture without overmixing.
- Pour and Spread Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly to ensure uniform baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Cool: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes to set, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely for easier slicing.
- Serve: Once fully cooled, cut into 16 squares and serve for a delightful chocolate Nutella treat.
Notes
- Do not overbake to keep the brownies fudgy; check with a toothpick at 20 minutes.
- Using parchment paper makes cleanup easier and helps with lifted removal of brownies from the pan.
- For extra richness, you can swirl additional Nutella on top of the batter before baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
