Nutella Brownies
These Nutella Brownies are rich, fudgy, and perfect if you're a chocolate hazelnut lover! They have crisp edges with a chewy interior, and the layer of Nutella in the center puts these over the top incredible!
Servings: 12 slices
Ingredients
- 8 oz Nutella or hazelnut spread
- 1 cup butter, melted I prefer to use salted but you can use unsalted!
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a 12x8 inch baking pan with wax paper or parchment paper. Scoop 8 oz of Nutella into the prepared pan and spread evenly, leaving about ¼ of an inch around the outside. Freeze for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°. In a large bowl combine melted butter, oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture turns lighter in color, about 3 minutes. Sift in flour, cocoa powder and salt. Mix lightly until just combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Once the Nutella has been frozen for 30 minutes, remove from the pan. Grease and line the 12x8 inch pan with parchment paper. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Place the frozen square of Nutella on top and top with the rest of the batter, spreading evenly. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes or until the center no longer jiggles. If you want fudgy brownies, do not over bake! If you prefer cakey brownies, bake for 5-8 minutes longer. Remove from the over and let cool completely before cutting into!
