Servings 16
Ingredients
8ounces(227g)Nutella
½cup(114g)unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3tablespoonsDutch-process cocoa powder
3large eggs, room temperature
1cup(220g)light brown sugar, packed
1tablespoonvanilla extract
½teaspoonsalt
1cup(130g)all-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line an 8×8-inch pan with aluminum foil, leaving a 1-inch overhang on all sides. Spray the foil lightly with nonstick spray.
Add the Nutella and butter to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until Nutella is melty and smooth. Whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla, and salt until combined. Whisk in the melted chocolate until well combined. Fold in the flour with a rubber spatula just until combined.
Spread the batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs. Cool the brownies in the pan on a wire rack.
Notes
For cakey brownies: Bake them until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs. Begin checking at around 25 minutes.
For fudgy brownies: Bake them for only 20 to 25 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center will come out with wet batter on it but the top will look dry and the edges will be set. Cool the brownies completely on a wire rack then place them in the refrigerator to firm up before slicing.
Make ahead tip
Brownies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
Brownies can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bring to room temperature before serving.
