Ingredients

• 120 grams all-purpose flour
• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 240 grams hazelnut chocolate spread (e.g., Nutella)
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 30 grams cocoa powder
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 50 grams chopped hazelnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

Step 2

Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Allow it to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, hazelnut chocolate spread, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Sift this dry mixture into the wet ingredients and gently fold everything together using a spatula until just combined.

Step 6

If using, fold in the chopped hazelnuts for added crunch.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with the spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake).

Step 9

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares. Serve and enjoy!
