Ingredients You Need

Nutella Brownie Recipe

2/3 cup canola oil, can also use vegetable or coconut oil
2/3 cup natural cocoa powder
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
3 large eggs
1 1/3 cups powdered sugar
2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup Nutella

Instructions How to Make the Chocolate Nutella Brownies

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 325°F. Line an 8-inch or 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, then spray with cooking spray. (I used a 9-inch pan, so if you want thicker brownies, go for the 8-inch pan and add some extra time to your baking.)
Place oil into a microwave-safe medium bowl and heat in 4 to 6 (5-second) bursts until warm but not hot. Add unsweetened cocoa powder and whisk until completely smooth and combined. Let sit for 4 or 5 minutes so the cocoa can bloom. Meanwhile, prepare the dry and wet ingredients.
In a medium-sized bowl, place dry ingredients of all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder in a small bowl and whisk to combine, set aside.
For the wet ingredients, in a large bowl or stand mixer, place eggs, powdered sugar and brown sugar together and using a mixer, beat on medium-high speed until fluffy and lighter in color, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until just combined.
Add 1/2 of the cocoa mixture to the egg mixture and beat on medium-high speed until shiny and fully combined, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until fully combined. Add the remaining cocoa mixture and continue to beat on medium-high speed until shiny and fully combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to the baking pan and spread into an even layer.

Adding The Nutella

Ready to add the Nutella, so make sure it’s drippy, so you may need to stir it really good and you can microwave for 15-20 seconds to get it really gooey so you can swirl it into the brownie batter easier. Spoon Nutella on top of the brownies and then swirl in into the batter as much as you like.
Bake brownies until the center is set, 20 to 30 minutes (if you are using a glass or ceramic pan, it may take longer). The brownies will start to pull away from the edges of the pan, but a cake tester or knife inserted in the middle may not come out clean.
Let cool completely in the pan. Grasping the foil, lift the brownie slab out of the pan and place on a cutting board. Remove the foil and cut the slab into 9-16 squares.

Storing Nutella Brownies

Keep your brownies in a sealed airtight container for 3-4 days at room temperature or 5-7 days in the fridge.

How to Elevate Your Brownies

Add chocolate chunks, hazelnuts, some added swirls of peanut butter or sea salt to your nutella brownie recipe for added flavor and texture!
Warm up your brownies and pair them with a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle more chocolate hazelnut spread on top. Can you feel the love?

In conclusion, our Ultimate Nutella brownies are more than just a delicious dessert – they bring joy to people’s lives and make the world a little sweeter.

Remember, the key to creating ridiculously good Nutella chocolate brownies is in the balance of chocolate and hazelnut flavor, and in using high-quality ingredients. Don’t be afraid to get creative and add in your own personal touch, whether it’s a dash of sea salt or a swirl of peanut butter. Enjoy!
