Nutella Brownies

Soft and chewy Nutella Brownies is an addicting chocolate treat that no one can resist. These amazing easy brownies get their moist and creamy texture from addition of Nutella chocolate spread right in the brownies batter and some extra spread over the top. Perfect chocolate dessert to bring to a potluck party or just to share on a Friday night. Try it warm with some vanilla ice cream on top.

Nutella makes an appearance in many of our desserts. If you are as much of a fan as we are, you will love my easy desserts like Nutella No Bake Cheesecake and Nutella Tiramisu. Whip up a batch of Nutella Cookies along with these brownies too.

NUTELLA BROWNIES

The best aroma that can fill your house is from homemade treats fresh from the oven. That’s why real estate agents use the fresh baked cookie trick during open house visits. It’s meant to make you feel like home. I’m sure if they try baking some Nutella Brownies, they would instantly create a bidding war. 

Aroma that fills the house while these brownies are baking is heavenly. Chocolate treat with a touch of hazelnuts. That can’t be beat.

What are Nutella Brownies you ask? It’s brownies that are made with Nutella chocolate hazelnut spread. Sounds simple, right? It really is an easy brownie recipe with a whole lot of Nutella added to the batter. The result is a rich, creamy, chewy brownie that is like no other. 

Nutella adds an amazing texture to the brownies, it makes them more moist and so creamy. Flavor of Nutella won’t as pronounced as if you were eating Nutella straight from the jar, not like we’ve never done that, but it is a rich, chocolate flavor with a hint of hazelnuts. 

To make hazelnut flavor a little more pronounced, you can add a cup of chopped or halved hazelnuts to the brownie batter. If you’re feeling even more adventurous, add a tablespoon of hazelnut liqueur to the batter too.

TIPS FOR MAKING NUTELLA BROWNIES

If you like your brownies to be a little more gooey and moist, it’s okay to under-bake them by a few minutes. Check them at 30-33 minutes to see if your gooey brownies are perfect.  

On the other hand, if you like you brownies to be a little more cooked, bake them for about 40-45 minutes.

Make sure to line the baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. It make for an easier clean up and it’s easier to take the brownies out of the pan.

Wait until brownies have completely cooled before transferring them onto the cutting board to cut. Gently lift the parchment paper or foil end on the side of the pan, and pull on the paper to slide the whole thing out of the pan. Make sure to tilt the pan a little towards the cutting board to minimize the chance to breaking. 

Cut brownies using serrated knife.

HOW TO STORE NUTELLA BROWNIES

Brownies can easily be store at room temperature or in the refrigerator. (I love cold brownies.)

Store brownies in an air-tight container at room temperature for about 2 days or in the refrigerator for about 4 days. After that, they will start getting more and more stale. 

Nutella brownies can be frozen too!

Cut cooled brownies into squares first and then wrap each brownie in a 2-3 layers of plastic wrap. Lay wrapped brownies on a cutting board and place in the freezer for about 2 hours. After brownies had time to freeze, you can stack them and place inside a large zip-lock freezer bag. Let the air out, label, and freeze for up to 3 months. 

You can take out 1 brownie at a time and let it defrost on the counter for about 30 minutes. It makes a great treat to pack with lunch.
