INGREDIENT NOTES
These are some of the key ingredients for this recipe. For a full list of ingredients, check out the recipe card below.
- Nutella: Half a jar of Nutella is used in this recipe, swirled into brownie batter.
- Butter: The butter is melted together with the dark chocolate.
- Brown sugar: The brown sugar gives more moister to the cookie dough, which makes for a more soft and chewy texture.
- Eggs: Take them out of the fridge 1-2 hours before baking.
- Dark chocolate: I recommend a dark chocolate on the sweeter side, e.g. 54,5%, and therefore a not too bitter dark chocolate.
- Cocoa powder: I use high quality dutch processed cocoa powder for the best flavor, my favorite is from Valrhona.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
Here is how to make and bake this Nutella brownie. This recipe needs an electric hand mixer, one large bowls, and a spatula.
The full recipe is down below in the recipe card.
Before starting preheat the oven to 175ºC/ 350ºF conventional oven. Prepare a 20x20 cm square pan with parchment paper.
STEP 1: Melt the butter and chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave. In a bowl add the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Pour the melted butter and chocolate over it and with a hand whisk, whisk it together.
STEP 2: Add the eggs one at a time, and mix until incorporated. Once incorporated, continue giving them a good whisk for 1-2 minutes, as this is what will give them the crinkle top. You will also see, when you whisked enough that it will start to come together in a smooth batter.
STEP 3: Then add the vanilla extract and whisk it until combined.
STEP 4. Add the flour, cocoa powder and salt to the batter and gently whisk it together until combined.
STEP 5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth it out with the spatular. Add a few dollops of Nutella and swirl it in. Bake for about 22-24 min. Serve once it’s cooled down. Finish it off with a sprinkle of sea salt.
EXPERT BAKING TIPS
- Use a kitchen scale: My default setting for my recipes is grams. It is the most precise way of measuring out your ingredients, I therefore highly recommend using a kitchen scale.
- Don't over mix your batter: I always use a spatula after everything has mixed together, to give it one final gentle fold together. This makes sure everything in the bottom of the mixing bowl has been mixed into the batter.
- Light vs. dark baking pans: For the best result, use an aluminum baking pan, greased with butter and lined with baking paper. Aluminum pans are light in color and therefore attract less heat. That means it bakes more gently which results in a softer cake. If you use a black baking pan it'll attract a lot more heat. That will then give a darker crust, which can result in a dryer cake.
FAQ
You'll know the Nutella brownie is done, when the brownie has just set. It shouldn’t jiggle when taken out of the oven but when using a cake tester, moist crumbs should be one it.
I personally love eating brownies cold, so they are also really good to make a day ahead of serving and storing them in the fridge overnight. They can also be stored at room temperature, if you prefer them not to be cold.
Yes, absolutely. As mentioned above, this brownie get super rich and fudgy by staying in the fridge overnight.
STORAGE
- Room temperature: To keep these brownies fudgy I recommend storing it at room temperature in an airtight container. To keep the edges from drying out, I suggest waiting to cut them until you're ready to serve them. They will stay soft for 2-3 days when stored properly!
- Fridge: I personally love a cold brownie. It tightens up the texture of the brownie and makes them extra fudgy. They are therefore really good to make a day ahead of serving. Just store them in the fridge overnight uncut.
