Ingredients
Scale
Brownie Batter
- 1 cup (about 280 grams) Nutella
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (about 100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (about 65 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup (about 40 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature by the time the batter is ready.
- Prepare Baking Pan: Grease an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent the brownies from sticking and to ensure easy removal.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine Nutella, eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which creates the base for your brownies.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt. This step avoids lumps and evenly distributes the cocoa powder and salt.
- Mix Batter: Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet Nutella mixture. Stir gently just until combined to avoid overmixing, which could make the brownies tough.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out with moist crumbs but not wet batter.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- Do not overbake to keep the brownies fudgy and moist.
- Use high-quality Nutella for the best chocolate-hazelnut flavor.
- Lining the pan with parchment paper ensures easy removal and cleaner cuts.
- Storing the brownies in an airtight container maintains freshness for up to 3 days.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the batter before baking.
