First, I preheat my oven to 350°F (175°C). This step is key for even baking. While it heats, I prepare my baking pan. I use an 8x8-inch pan, greasing it lightly. Sometimes, I line it with parchment paper. This makes it easy to lift out the brownies later. Next, I grab a large mixing bowl. I add 1 cup of Nutella and 2 large eggs. I whisk these together until they look smooth. This creates a rich, creamy base for my brownies. Then, I sift in the dry ingredients. I add 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. I stir gently. I want to mix until just combined. Overmixing can make the brownies tough. After that, I fold in some extra fun! I add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. If I want a crunch, I toss in 1/4 cup of chopped hazelnuts, too. These add a nice texture to the fudgy brownies. Now it’s time to transfer the batter. I pour it into my prepared pan. Using a spatula, I smooth the top. I want it even in the corners. Next, I place the pan in the oven. I bake for 20 to 25 minutes. To check if they’re done, I insert a toothpick in the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they are ready. This keeps them fudgy and delicious. Once baked, I take the pan out of the oven. I let the brownies cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. If I used parchment paper, I can lift them out easily. If not, I cut them right in the pan. I let them cool completely on a wire rack. This makes cutting them into squares much easier. For the full recipe, check out the section above! To make the best Nutella brownies, avoid overmixing. When you stir the batter, do it gently. This keeps your brownies fudgy and soft. Overmixing introduces air and can lead to a cake-like texture, which we don't want. For fudgy brownies, use room temperature eggs. They blend better with Nutella. Also, don’t bake them too long. A toothpick should have a few moist crumbs when you check for doneness. This ensures the rich, gooey texture we all love. When serving your brownies, think about a rustic wooden board. This adds charm to your serving style. Dust the top lightly with powdered sugar for a sweet touch. You can elevate the experience by pairing brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The cold ice cream contrasts beautifully with the warm, fudgy brownies. This makes each bite a delight. If you're curious, you can find the full recipe for these Nutella brownies to try at home! {{image_4}} You can change up the flavors in your Nutella brownies easily. First, try using different types of chocolate. You could use white chocolate, dark chocolate, or even milk chocolate chips. Each type adds its own unique taste and sweetness. Mixing these chocolates can create a fun flavor blend too. Another way to shake things up is to swap nuts for other mix-ins. If you do not like hazelnuts, consider using walnuts, pecans, or even crushed cookies. These options can give your brownies a new texture and taste. Dried fruits like cherries or blueberries can also add a fruity twist. If you need gluten-free options, you can use gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour. This makes your brownies safe for those with gluten allergies. Just make sure the flour you choose is a one-to-one substitute for best results. For those who want vegan brownies, you can replace eggs with flax eggs. To make these, mix one tablespoon of ground flaxseed meal with three tablespoons of water. Let it sit for five minutes until it thickens. You can also use a dairy-free chocolate for the chips. This way, everyone can enjoy these rich and fudgy delights! For the full recipe, check the Nutella Dream Brownies section above. To keep your brownies fresh, store them at room temperature. Place them in an airtight container. This keeps moisture in and prevents them from drying out. You can enjoy them for up to four days this way. Make sure to separate layers with parchment paper if you stack them. This avoids sticking and helps keep their texture intact. If you want to save brownies for later, freezing is a great option. Cut them into squares first. Wrap each square tightly in plastic wrap. Then, place the wrapped brownies in a freezer-safe bag. They can stay good for about three months. When you're ready to enjoy, just take them out and let them thaw. To thaw, leave the brownies at room temperature for about 30 minutes. You can also warm them in the microwave for about 10 seconds. This makes them soft and gooey again. Enjoy your Nutella brownies whenever you crave that rich, fudgy delight! To check if your Nutella brownies are done, look for a few signs. The edges will pull away from the pan. The top should look set and may have a shiny finish. Use a toothpick to test the center. If it comes out with a few moist crumbs, they are ready. If the toothpick is wet with batter, bake for a few more minutes. Remember, overbaking will dry them out. So, keep a close eye! You can make a few swaps in this recipe. If you need a gluten-free option, use almond flour instead of all-purpose flour. For eggs, a flax egg works well. Just mix 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 2.5 tablespoons of water and let it sit until it thickens. You can also switch Nutella for other chocolate spreads. If you want less sugar, reduce the chocolate chips. Just remember, each swap changes the flavor and texture! To get a flaky brownie crust, there are some easy tips. First, mix the batter just until combined. Overmixing can ruin the crust. Second, bake at the right temperature. Too hot can burn the top. Lastly, try adding a bit of extra cocoa powder. This can help create that nice crust. Let them cool completely before cutting. This helps the crust set nicely! Nutella brownies are simple and fun to make.

Ingredients
  

1 cup Nutella

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips (use dark or milk chocolate based on your preference)

1/4 cup hazelnuts, chopped (optional for a crunchy twist)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper to facilitate easy removal later.

    In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the Nutella and the two eggs. Whisk these ingredients together vigorously until the mixture appears smooth and fully blended, creating a rich base for your brownies.

      Gradually sift in the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into the Nutella-egg mixture. Stir gently until all dry ingredients are just incorporated, taking care to avoid overmixing, which can affect the brownies' texture.

        Carefully fold in the chocolate chips and chopped hazelnuts (if you're including them) into the brownie batter. This adds an enjoyable texture and flavor contrast to the fudgy brownies.

          Transfer the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to smooth the surface evenly, making sure it’s distributed well in the corners.

            Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out with a few moist crumbs attached for that perfect fudgy consistency. Avoid overbaking!

              Once done, remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for roughly 10 minutes. If you used parchment paper, carefully lift the brownies out using the edges of the paper; otherwise, you can cut them directly in the pan.

                For best results, let the brownies cool completely on a wire rack before cutting them into squares for serving. This ensures the perfect texture and makes them easier to enjoy!
