Nutella® Brownies

These moist, fudgy brownies started out as an impromptu experiment when I realized too late I was out of baking chocolate. Now it's one of my favorite brownie recipes! The Nutella® and Frangelico® give them a distinctly nutty flavor without interrupting the smooth texture. I love these brownies with cold milk or hot coffee.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup butter
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• ⅔ cup white sugar
• ⅓ cup brown sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
• ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips (Optional)
• ¼ cup hazelnut liqueur (such as Frangelico®)
• ¼ cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella®), or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Whisk flour, cocoa powder, and salt together in a bowl.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line with parchment paper.

Step 3

Melt butter, hazelnut liqueur, and chocolate-hazelnut spread together in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until starting to bubble, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and cool slightly.

Step 4

Beat white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; slowly mix in butter mixture until smooth. Stir flour mixture into butter-sugar mixture just until batter is combined; fold in chocolate chips, if using. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is dry and the edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool brownies in pan for at least 2 hours before cutting.
