Delicious And Decadent Nutella Brownies
Don’t they look sinful? These Nutella Brownies are to die for! Completely fudgy on the inside with a nutty taste of Hazelnut. If you’re having a bad day, make one of these and you’ll be cured.
Of all the recipes I’ve made this one has got to be my favorite. They are not cakey at all. These brownies are made to melt in your mouth.
When they came out of the oven my husband tried to take a huge bite and I didn’t let him (not before pictures!) so my solution was to hide them in a faraway place so he wouldn’t eat them.
That’s the life of a blogger’s family, they always have to wait until I take the pictures before digging in. These Nutella Brownies are WORTH the wait. Make it for your next bake sale and they will sell out.
The secret to getting great-tasting brownies is to use REAL chocolate, not cocoa powder, not candy coating, not chocolate chips.. use REAL chocolate. It does make a difference in taste and texture.
The other secret is to use melted butter instead of creaming it. The texture will be soft and fudgy as opposed to cakey. When they come out of the oven you will think they are still raw, but as they cool down you’ll notice how they harden.
Of course, adding Nutella and hazelnuts to the batter doesn’t hurt the taste 😉 It makes them nutty and gives them a complex flavor. Unlike a regular ol’ brownie.
Oh, did I mention how EASY these are? Just melt your chocolate and butter and then add them to the rest of the ingredients. Bake and enjoy!
I would serve these Nutella Brownies on the side for a fancy dinner. A good serving of melting chocolate wouldn’t be bad too! Or do like I did, just eat them straight out of the pan.
Nutella Brownies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks (or chips)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 stick
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 eggs + 1 yolk
- 1/4 cup hazelnuts or walnuts, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon pure hazelnut extract or 1 teaspoon Hazelnut coffee creamer optional
Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
- Line an 8x8 square pan with parchment paper. Leave paper overlapping on the sides for easy removal. Spray with non-stick spray
- In a pan over medium-low heat, melt the butter and chocolate chunks together. Let them cool for 2-3 minutes
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, flour, and salt. Add the melted chocolate mixture, the Nutella, hazelnuts, and extract. Mix until combined
- Pour mixture in the baking pan and smooth out the top with a spatula or spoon
- Place in the oven for 20-24 minutes. Mixture will be cracked a bit on top but still soft inside

These may be the best looking brownies I have ever seen in my life. After looking at this post and seeing your wonderful pictures, I am in awe! I may never post a brownie recipe on my blog because if this is the competition for brownie recipes, I’d be in big trouble. Kudos!
oh my goodness Melissa! Thanks so much! It really means a lot 😀
The ingredients list doesn’t have the chocolate on it, but you mention to add chocolate to the butter when melting??? Can you clarify this, I would like to try this recipe.
I am so sorry about that Johanna! I will add it right now. Recipe calls for 1 Cup of semi-sweet Chocolate Chips (or chocolate chunks)
