1 cup Nutella
2 large eggs
10 tablespoons all-purpose flour

directions

Preheat oven to 350ºF (175ºC). Lightly spray an 8×8-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, stir together Nutella, eggs, and flour just until fully combined. The batter will be thick.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. A spatula sprayed with cooking spray may help smooth it out.
Bake for about 20 minutes, until edges are set and the center is just slightly gooey.
Remove from oven and let cool before slicing into squares.

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.

Conclusion

Nutella Brownies are the ultimate solution for last-minute dessert cravings. With just three pantry staples and one bowl, you can create a decadent treat that satisfies every chocolate lover. Whether enjoyed warm or chilled, these brownies deliver maximum flavor with minimal effort.
