Nutella Brownies Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (170 grams) semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 1/2 sticks (170 grams) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
• 4 ounces (113 grams) unsweetened chocolate, chopped
• 1 1/4 cups (245 grams) granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup (150 grams) Nutella
• 3 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup (96 grams) all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup (25 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch metal baking pan with foil or parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. Lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Melt the Chocolate Mixture:
   In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, unsalted butter, and unsweetened chocolate. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute, then stir the mixture. Continue heating in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until everything is melted and smooth. Be careful not to scorch the chocolate. Remove from the microwave and let the mixture cool slightly before stirring in the Nutella.
3. Prepare the Batter:
   In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the eggs and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until the mixture becomes light and thick, about 3 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and beat until combined. Gradually fold in the cooled chocolate mixture with a rubber spatula.
4. Incorporate the Dry Ingredients:
   Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and fine sea salt over the batter, then gently fold everything together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Bake the Brownies:
   Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Avoid overbaking to maintain that perfect fudgy texture.
6. Cool and Serve:
   Allow the brownies to cool to room temperature in the pan before using the overhang to lift them out. Slice into 16 squares. Serve at room temperature, slightly warmed, or even chilled for a more intense chocolate experience.

Tips for the Perfect Brownies:

• Don’t Overbake: The key to fudgy brownies is to err on the side of underbaking. Check your brownies at the 35-minute mark, and if the toothpick comes out with moist crumbs, they’re done.
• Quality Ingredients: Use good-quality chocolate and Nutella for the best flavor.
• Serving Suggestions: Pair these brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
