How To Make Nutella Brownies:
I used my go-to brownie recipe as the base for these brownies. I made a few tweaks, including the addition of Nutella, hazelnuts and a two-ingredient frosting. Here’s how to make them:
- In a large bowl, whisk sugar, eggs, Nutella, oil, and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl combine flour, cocoa powder and salt.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients, then stir in chocolate chips and chopped hazelnuts.
- Bake the brownies until set, but still moist and fudgy.
- Immediately upon removal from the oven, dollop Nutella and sprinkle chocolate chips over the top of the warm brownies. After a couple of minutes you’ll be able to easily spread the melted chocolate and Nutella.
Tips for making the BEST Nutella Brownies:
- Do not over-bake. Brownies are best when slightly underbaked. To tell if they’re done: insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out with fudgy crumbs (no raw batter), you can remove the pan from the oven.
- The addition of chocolate chips in the batter is what makes these brownies fudgy. When the brownies are warm the chips make the brownies gooey and delicious.
- Milk chocolate pairs best with Nutella. I have made these brownies with semisweet and milk chocolate chips. Both ways are delicious, but I find that the milk chocolate allows the Nutella flavor to come through stronger.
- The Nutella flavor in the brownies themselves is quite subtle. The Nutella frosting helps to create a stronger chocolate-hazelnut flavor, so don’t skip it.
- Use toasted hazelnuts. Toasting nuts adds flavor and crunch. To toast hazelnuts: place them in a skillet over medium-low heat, cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and toasted. Cool before adding to the batter. Note: I have found toasted hazelnuts at Trader Joes (if you use those you can skip this step).
Hopefully I’ve convinced you to drop what you’re doing and make these brownies ASAP. They are decadent, fudgy, nutty, and absolutely delicious!
