Bake a batch of these heavenly hazelnut chocolate brownies, featuring a generous swirl of Nutella, for an easy yet luxurious treat.
Ingredients:
- Salted butter for a rich base
- Brown sugar for a deep, caramel sweetness
- Granulated sugar for classic sweetness
- Room temperature eggs for a smooth batter
- Vanilla extract for a hint of vanilla flavor
- Nutella for a nutty chocolate richness
- Kosher salt to balance the sweetness (adjust if using Morton)
- All-purpose flour for structure
- Dutch processed cocoa powder for a robust chocolate flavor
Baking Instructions:
- Start by heating your oven and preparing a metal baking pan with parchment.
- Gently melt the butter, then whisk in the Nutella and cocoa powder. Let this chocolate mixture cool.
- In a separate bowl, beat eggs with both sugars, salt, and vanilla until thick and pale.
- Fold the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture with care.
- Sift in the flour and fold until just combined, maintaining the air in the batter.
- Spread the batter into the pan, smoothing the top for even baking.
- Bake until the surface is crackled but the brownies feel soft.
- Cool thoroughly before slicing into rich, hazelnut-infused squares.
