Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter unsalted
  • 1 ½ cup Nutella chocolate hazelnut spread
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 egg large
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ cup Nutella optional
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt optional, flaked

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9-inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a medium sized saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and add in 1 1/2 cup Nutella and granulated sugar.
  3. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Add in eggs, one at a time, stirring completely after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
  4. Add the flour, salt, and baking powder. Using big strokes, stir in JUST until mixed and no longer see dry ingredients. DO NOT BEAT OR OVER STIR.
  5. Pour batter into prepared baking dish. If desired, dollop teaspoons of the additional Nutella onto the brownies, sprinkle with flaked sea salt and bake for about 45 minutes. Remove from oven (add additional pinch of flaked sea salt) and cool completely before cutting.

Notes

  • These can be made in ONE bowl. Whether you use a medium sized saucepan, or microwave safe large bowl...clean up is a breeze!
  • LINE your baking dish with parchment paper (or foil). Not only does it make clean up easier, but you can just lift your brownies out of the pan and cut them!
  • DO NOT OVER STIR. When you add in the dry ingredients, use slow but big stirs to incorporate the dry into the wet. Just when you see no more dry, STOP STIRRING!
  • Want to eat them sooner? Chill them in the refrigerator so they are easier to cut. Want to make a brownie ice cream sundae? Eat them warm with melted nutella or our homemade chocolate syrup!
  • STORAGE: Store brownies in airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Baking time. If you like thick and gooey brownies, cook them for 40 minutes. If you prefer them cooked all the way through (and not gooey at all) increase time to 45-50 minutes.
  • You can skip the additional 1/4 cup nutella before baking if desired. You could also spread the nutella on TOP of the brownies after they come out of the oven. Either way is delicious.
