Equipment

  • 1 8x8 (20 cm) metal pan
  • 1 sheet parchment paper
  • 1 large microwave safe mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk and flexible spatula or spoon

Ingredients
  

  • cup (13 oz.) Nutella or chocolate hazelnut spread
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (60 g) all purpose flour

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F (177 C). Lightly grease and line the bottom and two sides of an 8 x 8 inch (20 cm) cake pan with parchment paper. Set aside for now. 
  • Pour the Nutella into a microwave safe bowl. Heat the Nutella spread for about 30 seconds or until warm and runny. 
    1¼ cup (13 oz.) Nutella
  • Check the chocolate spread. If needed, allow the Nutella to cool a bit to warm. Then stir in the eggs until smooth, well combined and thickened. This takes about 1 minute of continuous stirring. Stir in the flour until just combined. 
    2 large eggs, room temperature, ½ cup (60 g) all purpose flour
  • Transfer the brownie batter to the prepared pan. Make sure to smooth the batter evenly into the pan.
  • Bake the brownies for 16 - 20 minutes. The brownies are finished baking when the edges of the brownie pull slightly away from the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. If the toothpick comes out with wet streaks, bake for 2 minutes and check again.
  • Cool the brownies in the pan on top of a cooling rack for 30 minutes or until room temperature, slice and enjoy.

Notes

Store: Once the brownies have cooled completely to room temperature, place them in an airtight container to store at room temperature for up to 3 - 4 days or in the fridge for a week. 
Tip: One of my favorite tricks is to cut fudgy brownies with a disposable plastic knife to get the cleanest, most perfect brownie squares even if the brownies are still a little warm.
