Description
Rich and fudgy Nutella brownies made with real chocolate and swirled with gooey Nutella. The perfect mix of chewy edges and soft, chocolatey center — a dream for Nutella lovers. (For a 20 cm / 8-inch square pan – about 16 pieces)
Ingredients
- 250 g (9 oz / 1 ½ cups) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 115 g (½ cup / 1 stick) unsalted butter
- 140 g (½ cup) Nutella spread
- 200 g (1 cup) granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 90 g (¾ cup) all-purpose flour
- 30 g (¼ cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ tsp salt
- Nutella spread (slightly warmed) for the swirl
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the chopped chocolate, butter, and Nutella together in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in short bursts in the microwave. Stir until smooth and let cool slightly.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer for 2–3 minutes, until pale and slightly thick.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and mix gently until smooth.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, and fold with a spatula until just combined — don’t overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Drop spoonfuls of warmed Nutella on top and swirl gently with a knife or skewer.
- Bake for about 25–30 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.
- Let the brownies cool completely, then chill in the fridge before slicing for clean cuts.
Notes
Storage : Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 days, or up to a week in the fridge.
Tips :
