Equipment
- Microwave Safe Bowl
- 8×8-inch metal baking pan
- Rubber Spatula
- Electric mixer
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 3 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup Nutella
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 4 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch metal baking pan with foil or parchment, leaving an overhang, and coat it with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, butter, and unsweetened chocolate.
- Microwave for 1 minute, then stir.
- Continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Allow it to cool slightly, then mix in the Nutella.
- In another large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the eggs and sugar on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and thick, about 3 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Gently fold in the cooled chocolate mixture with a rubber spatula.
- Then, incorporate the flour, cocoa, and salt until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Avoid overbaking to keep the brownies fudgy. Allow to cool to room temperature before serving, either at room temperature, warmed, or chilled.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate chips and butter.
- If the brownies appear too gooey when you check them, they will firm up as they cool.
- For a fudgier texture, be careful not to overbake them.
