Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 240 grams hazelnut chocolate spread (e.g., Nutella)
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 30 grams cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 50 grams chopped hazelnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, hazelnut chocolate spread, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Sift this dry mixture into the wet ingredients and gently fold everything together using a spatula until just combined.
If using, fold in the chopped hazelnuts for added crunch.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with the spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. Serve and enjoy!
