Three-Ingredient Brownies Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups Nutella chocolate hazelnut spread
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

How To Make Three-Ingredient Brownies

1. Prepare the oven and pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides to easily lift the brownies out later.
2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the Nutella and eggs together until they are fully combined and the mixture is smooth and glossy.
3. Add the dry ingredients: Gently fold the flour into the Nutella and egg mixture. Mix until no white streaks of flour remain, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick.
4. Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly to the edges. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
5. Cool before serving: Let the brownies cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang. This allows them to set and become perfectly fudgy.

Recipe Tips

• Don’t Overmix: Overmixing the batter can make the brownies tough and cake-like. Stop mixing as soon as the flour is incorporated for a fudgy texture.
• Use Room Temperature Eggs: Using room temperature eggs helps them combine more smoothly with the Nutella, creating a more uniform and silky batter.
• Let Them Cool: The brownies will be very soft when they come out of the oven. Letting them cool completely is crucial for them to set properly and become a firm, fudgy texture.
• Parchment Paper is Key: The parchment paper liner makes it simple to remove the brownies from the pan without breaking them, ensuring clean, beautiful squares.

What To Serve Brownies

These simple three-ingredient brownies are rich and delicious on their own. For an extra special treat, serve them warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce. A glass of cold milk is the classic, perfect pairing. For a little crunch, top them with chopped nuts or a sprinkle of flaky sea salt.

How To Store Brownies Leftovers

• Refrigerate: Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. If your kitchen is warm, you can store them in the refrigerator, but they may become firmer.
• Freeze: Wrap individual brownies tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use a different size pan? Yes, but you may need to adjust the baking time. A larger pan, like a 9×13-inch, will result in thinner brownies that will require less time in the oven. A smaller pan will make them thicker and may need a longer baking time.
• Do these taste like Nutella? Yes, the Nutella is the main ingredient and provides all the rich chocolate and hazelnut flavor. The eggs and flour help create the classic brownie texture, but the flavor is definitely chocolate hazelnut.
• Can I add mix-ins? Absolutely! This recipe is a great base for additions. Feel free to stir in chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or even a swirl of peanut butter before baking to customize your brownies.
