Chocolate Nutella Brownies
The secret to this recipe is being able to wait a day before eating!
Of course the brownies can be eaten the same day, but I promise they are even better if you wait. The brownie becomes super moist and the flavors intensify even more the next day.
Chocolate Nutella Brownies
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa (for extra chocolate flavor add an additional 2 Tablespoons of cocoa)
small pinch of salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup Nutella plus 2 Tablespoons for swirling
1/4 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine melted butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla. Add two eggs and beat for 2 minutes.
In a separate bowl mix flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder. Blend dry ingredients into batter. Add Nutella and stir in chocolate chips.
Spread batter into a parchment lined 8x8 or 9x9 inch square pan.
In a small bowl put 2 heaping tablespoons of Nutella. Place in the microwave for a few seconds to soften. Remove and stir.
Drop Nutella by spoonfuls into several places throughout the batter. Take a spoon and lightly swirl the batter.
Bake 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. The edges should just be set. This is a moist, gooey dessert. If you wait until a toothpick comes out clean, it has been in the oven too long. Do not overbake!
Allow the pan to cool. Remove the brownies and cut into 9 squares. Wrap each square individually in plastic wrap and allow to set overnight.
Enjoy!
