Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240g) Nutella
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup (90g) chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil (optional, for extra fudginess)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium mixing bowl, scoop out 1 cup of Nutella. If desired, soften it in the microwave for easier mixing.
- If using, add 1/4 cup of vegetable oil for extra fudginess.
- Crack in 2 large eggs (preferably at room temperature) and mix with a whisk or hand mixer until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- If desired, fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips for added richness.
- Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper or grease it with butter or cooking spray.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes.
- Carefully lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper. If not using parchment, run a knife around the edges and flip them out onto a cutting board.
- Cut into squares (about 2 inches each) with a sharp knife.
- Optionally, dust the tops with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a delightful treat!
- If there are any leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
