Ingredients

• 170 grams Unsalted butter
• 200 grams Semisweet chocolate chips
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 100 grams Brown sugar
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 130 grams All-purpose flour
• 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 100 grams Roasted hazelnuts (chopped)
• 100 grams Hazelnut spread (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.

Step 2

In a heatproof bowl, melt the unsalted butter and semisweet chocolate chips together using a microwave or double boiler. Stir until smooth and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 3

Whisk in the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Sift the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt into the mixture. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped roasted hazelnuts evenly throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 8

If using, warm the hazelnut spread slightly to make it easier to drizzle, and swirl it over the top of the brownie batter using a spoon or skewer.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (do not overbake!).

Step 10

Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment overhang. Slice into 12 squares or rectangles and serve.
