Nutella straight from the jar is good, but what if you could transform it into a warm, gooey brownie? This easy, one-bowl recipe makes dessert magical by combining the rich, hazelnut goodness of Nutella with the classic charm of brownies. Grab your spoon (and maybe a friend) because you’ll want to dig in fast!
Ingredients
1 cup Nutella
2 large eggs
½ cup all-purpose flour
A pinch of salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
½ cup chocolate chips (optional but encouraged)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
- Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, crack both eggs and whisk them until fully combined. Add Nutella and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour, salt, and baking powder to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined—avoid overmixing for the best texture. Fold in chocolate chips if you want an extra chocolatey treat.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake the Brownies: Bake for 20-25 minutes. Check with a toothpick—it should come out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing. Use parchment paper to lift them out for easy slicing. Enjoy warm with a cold glass of milk or a scoop of ice cream!
