How to Make Nutella Brownies

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter completely. Stir in the sugar and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Be careful not to let the sugar mixture boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the Nutella until well combined.
Pour the butter mixture into a large bowl or stand mixer. Beat in the cocoa powder, eggs, salt, baking powder, espresso powder (if using), and vanilla extract until well combined.
Stir in the flour and chocolate chips until just combined.
Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish. The batter will be very thick and sticky.
Bake for about 30-35 minutes, until a tester comes out mostly clean. The edges should be set, and the center should still look slightly moist but not uncooked.
Cool the brownies on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Store tightly covered for 3-5 days.

Serving Suggestions

Serve Nutella Brownies warm or at room temperature, garnished with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch. These brownies are perfect for enjoying on their own or alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent treat.

Storage Information

Store any leftover Nutella Brownies tightly covered at room temperature for up to 3-5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze the brownies in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Simply thaw them at room temperature before serving.

Some Techniques or Tips

Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can result in tough brownies.
For extra Nutella flavor, swirl additional Nutella into the batter before baking.
You can customize these brownies by adding chopped nuts, dried fruit, or other mix-ins of your choice.

Variation

For a fun twist, try adding a layer of Nutella between two layers of brownie batter before baking to create a delicious Nutella-filled brownie.
