NUTELLA BROWNIES
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs (125 g) room temperature
- 300 g (1 cup) Nutella
- 40 g (1/3 cup) all purpose flour
- 15 g (2 tbsp) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the eggs with a hand mixer for some minutes until double/triple its volume and become light and thick.
- Add slightly warmed Nutella (you can heat the jar in microwave for few seconds) and mix just until combined (don't overmix).
- Add sifted flour, salt and cocoa. Gently fold with a spatula until well combined and don't overmix.
- Place the batter into a lined and greased 20x20cm - 8x8inch cake pan and spread evenly.
- Bake in preheated fan oven at 175°C-345°F for about 16-18 minutes. Be careful to not overbake: a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs and not completely dry.
- Slightly cool down for few minutes in the pan, then cool down completely on a wire rack.
- Using a hot knife, trim the edges (optional) and cut in 9 pieces.

Notes
Hello, I am Valentina! Welcome to How Tasty!
I am an Italian girl in love with baking and cooking. I’ve been raised in a cooking family, baking since I was a little girl and learning from my mom and my professional chef grandma.
I created the Youtube channel How Tasty in 2017 to share with you my passion.
You don’t need to be a professional cook to follow all my recipes thanks to the video tutorials and the tips & hints you can find here.

Tips:
You don’t need to add any sugar in this recipe because Nutella is very sweet and with this recipe you’ll get sweet Nutella brownies. If you’re using other type of hazelnut spread, you can taste the batter, decide if it’s sweet enough and add sugar according to your taste.
I’ve trimmed the edges and slice in 9 squares, but it’s totally optional. You can also slice in 16 little squares, that’s the perfect size if you’re setting up a sweet table buffet!
The best way to make perfect neat cuts when you slice brownies, is to heat your chef knife (not a serrated knife). Some people use hot water, then dry the blade before make the cut. But I prefer to heat directly over the stovetop: your blade will be very hot in 3 seconds!
