Nutella Brownies
My Nutella brownies consist of a thick layer of pure chocolate hazelnut spread sandwiched between fudgy homemade brownie layers. With rich brownie and pure Nutella in every bite, they really are as decadent as they sound!
Ingredients
- 450 g (1 ½ cups) Nutella
- 85 g (½ cup) semisweet chocolate
- 150 g (¾ cup) neutral oil
- 200 g (1 cup) granulated sugar
- 142 g (⅔ cup) brown sugar
- 3 eggs, room temp
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 120 g (120 g) all-purpose flour
- 63 g (¾ cup) dutch process cocoa powder
- 21 g (¼ cup) black cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 9" inch square pan with parchment paper.
- Spread the Nutella into the pan in an even layer and place in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the brownie batter. In a small bowl, add the semisweet chocolate and oil. Heat in the microwave in 30 second increments until fully melted. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add the sugars, eggs, and vanilla. Using an electric mixer, beat on high speed for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture has doubled in size.
- While mixing on low speed, slowly pour the chocolate, oil mixture into the sugar, egg mixture.
- Next, add the flour, cocoa powders, and salt, and mix on low speed until fully combined.
- Remove the frozen Nutella layer from the pan, and re-line it with parchment paper. Pour half of the brownie batter (weigh it for even layers) into the prepared pan and smooth it out with an offset spatula. Place the frozen layer of Nutella on top followed by the remaining brownie batter. Smooth out the top with an offset spatula.
- Bake the brownies for about 34-36 minutes. Allow them to cool completely in the pan before removing.
- Cut into 16 squares, and enjoy!
Notes
- Beat the sugars & eggs for a full 2-3 minutes! This is what will give the brownies that gorgeous shiny top, as well as a soft texture.
- Substitute for black cocoa powder. If you do not have black cocoa powder on hand, you can use a total of 84g (1 cup) dutch process cocoa powder instead.
