Taste and Occasion
If you've ever read about the supposedly awesome Nutella brownies with 2 ingredients, I have to disappoint you, though. You'll need more ingredients for my recipe. Nevertheless, the Nutella brownies are stirred together very quickly and taste extraordinary 😉 . Honestly, when major online magazines write about the "the fastest brownies in the world" or "2-ingredient Nutella brownies" it is not an actual brownie. You don't get a chewy cake treat from just eggs and Nutella. I think it's particularly annoying when even purchased symbolic pictures of the alleged baking result are placed, which do not have much to do with reality.
Ingredients
Again for safety, the following note: The recipes I post toaday are tested and considered good 😉 So enjoy the Nutella brownies. The recipe contains the same ingredients as classic brownies: flour, eggs, butter, and cocoa. You add the nut nougat cream and a good pinch of salt. I use very little additional sugar since Nutella is already sweet enough. Have also seen Nutella brownie recipes with 450 grams of sugar on top. No thanks.
How to make the Nutella Brownies
First of all, preheat the oven to 360°F/180°C and melt butter slowly in a saucepan or hot water bath. Then: Stir in the Nutella. Beat the sugar with the eggs until fluffy.
After this, mix the dry ingredients - flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder - and stir briskly into the egg cream, alternating with the Nutella butter. It's time to pour the dough into a brownie pan lined with baking paper, smooth it out and bake for about 30-35 minutes. Note: Not much longer, even if the brownies still look pretty soft! If you like, decorate the individual brownies with a little Nutella.
Top Tip
Very important when baking the brownies with Nutella: Don't bake them too long! Brownies should be nice and soft and moist inside. In addition, they become a little firmer anyway when they cool.
