Description

Indulge in these rich and fudgy Chocolate Nutella Brownies that boast a luscious swirl of creamy Nutella for an irresistible chocolate hazelnut treat. Perfectly moist with a deep cocoa flavor and gooey chocolate chips, these brownies are easy to make and ideal for dessert lovers seeking a decadent yet simple homemade delight.

Ingredients

Brownie Batter

  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup Nutella
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup chocolate chips (optional)

Nutella Swirl

  • ¼ cup Nutella (warmed, for swirling on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined and slightly thickened. Stir in ½ cup of Nutella until the mixture is uniform and glossy.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in the cocoa powder, salt, and flour into the wet ingredients. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overworking the batter. Fold in chocolate chips if using, evenly distributing them throughout the batter.
  4. Pour and Swirl Nutella: Pour the prepared batter into the lined baking pan and spread it into an even layer. Warm the remaining ¼ cup of Nutella slightly to make it more fluid, then drizzle it over the batter. Using a knife or toothpick, gently swirl the Nutella into the batter to create a marbled effect without completely blending it.
  5. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs attached. Avoid overbaking to maintain fudginess.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the brownies from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9 to 12 squares. This ensures cleaner cuts and a better texture.

Notes

  • For added crunch, fold in chopped hazelnuts with the chocolate chips or sprinkle some on top before baking.
  • A light sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top before baking enhances flavor complexity.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
  • If you prefer extra fudgy brownies, slightly underbake and let residual heat finish cooking as it cools.
