Easy Hazelnut Brownies Recipe
These easy hazelnut brownies require just five ingredients and deliver a rich, fudgy texture with hints of hazelnut and a perfectly crinkled top. Using chocolate hazelnut spread as the star ingredient makes this simple recipe both flavorful and convenient for quick homemade treats.
Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate hazelnut spread
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons salted butter melted
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips optional, for extra richness
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two opposite sides to make it easier to remove the brownies later.
- Mix the Batter: In a medium bowl, combine the hazelnut spread, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture until it’s smooth and creamy, which should take about a minute. Gradually add the flour and stir gently until just incorporated, about 1 to 2 minutes. If you're using chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.
- Bake the Brownies: Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Slice: Once baked, use the parchment overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan. Let them cool completely before cutting into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a deeper chocolate flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the batter.
- These brownies are best enjoyed warm or at room temperature, making them an ideal quick dessert option.
