Indulge in Rich Chocolatey Goodness
A Match Made in Heaven: Brownies Meet Nutella
Imagine combining two of life’s greatest pleasures – rich, fudgy brownies and creamy Nutella – into one decadent treat. The result is a game-changing dessert that will satisfy your cravings and leave you wanting more.
The Magic Behind the Recipe
What makes this recipe truly special is its simplicity. No need to chop chocolate into tiny pieces or melt it over a double boiler. Simply whisk eggs into Nutella straight from the jar, then fold in flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. It’s a cinch!
Get Ready to Bake
Before you start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and arrange a rack in the middle. Coat an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with non-stick baking spray to ensure easy removal.
The Perfect Blend
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until evenly distributed. In a separate bowl, scrape in the chocolate-hazelnut spread and stir in the eggs until smooth. Add the flour mixture to the chocolate mixture and mix until a smooth batter forms. Be gentle to avoid overmixing, which can lead to tough brownies. If desired, fold in toasted and peeled hazelnuts for added texture.
Baking to Perfection
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 25 minutes or until the edges are puffed and set, and the centers appear slightly undercooked. Keep an eye on them after 15 minutes to avoid overbaking, which can result in dry brownies.
Cool, Cut, and Serve
Let the pan cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before removing the brownies and finishing them off on the rack. Cut into squares when cool and indulge in the rich, chocolatey goodness.
