FAQs
Can I use a different chocolate spread instead of Nutella?
Yes, any chocolate-hazelnut spread with a similar consistency will work.
Do I need to use a mixer for this recipe?
No, just a spoon or spatula is sufficient to mix the ingredients.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes, simply double the ingredients and use a 9×13-inch baking dish. Adjust baking time as needed.
How do I know when the brownies are done?
The edges should be set, and the center should be slightly gooey but not liquid.
Can I make these gluten-free?
You can try using a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, though results may vary slightly.
Are these brownies very sweet?
Yes, they are rich and sweet due to the Nutella, but the flour balances it out.
Can I freeze Nutella brownies?
Yes, cool completely, wrap tightly, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature.
What can I top these brownies with?
Try a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of melted chocolate, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Can I make these in muffin tins?
Yes, just reduce the baking time to around 12–15 minutes and check for doneness.
Why is my batter so thick?
That’s normal. Nutella is dense, and the batter will be thick but spreads easily in the pan.
