You are probably thinking, “Not another brownie recipe!”. But this is no ordinary brownie recipe. These are absolutely “to die for”. As you may have noticed, they have Nutella in them!

My brother and my sister love Nutella. In fact, they both eat it every morning! Even snacks from time to time. They have to buy it in wholesale batches to make sure they have enough. So one day, my sister said she wanted some brownies so she found this recipe on www.ricardocuisine.com. What a great idea! The result: a fantastic dessert! You will be licking your fingers for hours after!

Course: Dessert    Yield: 16 servings    Prep Time: 20 mins    Cook Time: 35 mins  


Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/4 Teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Cup Nutella
  • 1/2 Cup brown sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 Cup melted unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 170°C (325°F) and make sure the grill is in the middle of the oven.
  2. Line the bottom of a 8 inch square cake pan with parchment paper, letting the paper extend over two opposite sides. Butter the two other sides.
  3. Combine the flour and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
  4. In another bowl, beat the eggs, hazelnut spread, brown sugar and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture, alternating with the melted butter.
  5. Scrape the batter into the cake pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out with a few crumbs attached (not completely clean), 35 to 40 minutes.
  6. Cool in the pan for about 2 hours. Un-mould and cut into squares.
  7. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    Absolutely fantastic! My sister has a chronic illness and needed a special “pick me up”…she warned me that I was saving her day by making brownies. Thank goodness they turned out so good! I just started a food blog and I’ll be adding these (with the credit being given to you and your site, of course!). Thank you!

    • Yay!!! I’m glad she liked them! My younger sister actually introduced me to this recipe

    will the outcome be pretty much the same if i use a brownie pan?

    • I dont see why it wouldn’t but I would definitely test them frequently because the baking time should be different in your case. Let me know how it goes!:)

    ok, i made these and they didn’t really have a strong nutella taste, also they came out really dry, i thoght you are supossed to add milk to brownies? Also for some reason the batter tasted better than the finished product lol, anyways it seems to be working well for everybody but me!

    • Really? I have made these many times and they are always extremely moist! The nutella isn’t overwhelming, no but you can still taste it. If you want a stronger nutella taste, you could make a nutella ganache on top! I will make the recipe again this week end and I will do it exactly the way I wrote it to see if there’s a missing instruction and let you know!

    Could I add crushed hazelnuts to this recipe?  I’m also adding a nutella ganache  like you recommended.  Making these for my friend’s bachelor party tomorrow!

    I also found the “Hazelnut spread” flavor to be subtle. So I added chopped hazel nuts. I also added a couple of tablespoons for cocoa to bump up the chocolate hit and increased the butter slightly to ensure the moistness was not diminished.

    My coworkers LOVED them.

    what if you don’t have parchment paper?

    • I highly suggest you buy some, but if not, try with waxed paper. Hope this helps 🙂

    Can I substitute the whole wheat flour for the all purpose flour? Would it be a 1:1 ratio?

    • Hi Jenn,

      Whole wheat flour will drastically change the texture as well as the flavour of this recipe. You can try it but I would try to stick to all-purpose flour for this one :).

    So I found this on Yummly last night and knew I had to try it right away. I live in Denver and was a little worried about the high altitude baking process, but after doing some reading on the internet I decided to go with adding another 1/4th of a cup of flour (or so, I started with 1/4th and added as I saw fit) and I increased the baking temperature to 350 F and just kept checking on them. They turned out PERFECTLY! The boyfriend and his roommate went wild over them! Thank you so much for this amazing recipe, I’ll definitely be adding it to my dessert repitoire!

    • Great to hear Mariasha!:)

    • Joe

      Did you put weed in them??

      • Exactly what popped into my mind and then I read this comment. Hahaha.
