Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Bittersweet chocolate (chopped)
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Brown sugar
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 200 grams Hazelnut spread (such as Nutella)
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 80 grams Chopped hazelnuts (toasted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the chopped bittersweet chocolate and stir until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the slightly cooled chocolate mixture to the sugar and egg mixture, stirring until well combined.
Gently fold in the hazelnut spread until fully incorporated.
Sift the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt into the wet mixture. Using a spatula, fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the toasted chopped hazelnuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake as the brownies should remain fudgy.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
Slice into 12 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
