These Nutella Brownies are a delight and you will definitely agree with me once you taste it. Filled with Nutella, these are super soft from inside with a crusty top.
We mother and son loves making recipes from Nutella for our special occasions such as Nutella Iced Coffee, Braided Nutella Bread, Eggless Nutella Rolls and many other dishes.
But, most of all owing to our huge love for Brownies, this time, I shared the idea of preparing Nutella Brownie Recipe which we had tasted at a cafe some time back!
Guess what, the sunny boy agreed and we wasted no time at all for making some warm, enriching Chocolate Brownies with Nutella.

As the brownies turned out so delicious, I thought why not share it with you guys and even you can make your kids involve in this fun activity of making Nutella Brownies.
So open up the heavenly jar of Nutella and whip up these delicious Brownies. You can serve them as a dessert after your meals or as an evening snack with your hot cup of Coffee.

Ingredients
Nutella – The star ingredient of this recipe and the ingredient that makes these Brownies different from the other Brownies, Nutella. I just love the chocolaty and gooey flavor it adds to the Brownies.
Instant Coffee Powder – I also add a little coffee powder, as it adds to the taste and makes it even more delicious. But this is completely optional, you can even skip it.
Other Ingredients – Other than Nutella, you will need basic Brownie ingredients that includes all purpose flour, eggs, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, butter, sugar and vanilla extract.
Use high quality cocoa powder and vanilla extract for the best taste. Baking Powder will help brownie to lift up and will make it dense and soft from inside.
You can adjust the amount of sugar in the brownies as per your taste. You can even substitute it with brown sugar, coconut sugar or jaggery but the texture and taste will differ a bit.
Step By Step Recipe
Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees C. Line an 8×8 inch baking tray with parchment paper. Mix all purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt and instant coffee powder in a bowl.
Heat butter in a pan over low heat until it melts.
Add sugar and mix well. Cook until sugar dissolves.
Remove the pan from heat. Add Nutella and mix well. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix well.
Add the dry mixture and mix until combined.
Pour the batter in the prepared pan.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until a tooth pick comes out clean. Cool and serve.
Frequently Asked Questions
Although I am a big supporter of baking from scratch, sometimes when we are pressed with time, a mix comes in handy. You can add Nutella in the mix and bake it as instructed.
Nutella brownies need a few more minutes of extra baking than the regular brownies.
Be careful with the timing. If you over bake the brownies, they will become dry. So keep a check after 20 minutes.
Although this brownie tastes good as it is, you can definitely cover it with a Nutella Icing.
To make it, whisk butter and Nutella until nicely mixed. Add heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar and whisk until fluffy.

To make these Easy Gooey Nutella Brownies in microwave, you can follow the same process expect pour the batter in buttered microwave safe dish.
Microwave on high for 2 minute. Check if they are done. Otherwise microwave for another minute.
To make these brownies in a mug, follow the same process. Butter oven-safe mugs and pour the batter in them until they are ¾th full. Bake for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
The perfect brownies will have a crackly texture on the top and will be fudgy from inside. Also, do not over bake them, otherwise they might turn out dry.
Yes, you can definitely do that, but I like the Brownie texture better when I use the combination of Cocoa Powder and Nutella in the Brownies.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Nutella Brownies as a dessert with vanilla or chocolate ice cream on top for your dessert after your Continental meals.
You can also serve it your guests with a hot cup of Beaten Coffee. This Brownie and frothy Coffee combination is a bomb.
Storage Suggestions
You can store Nutella Brownies tightly covered in a container for about 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator or at room temperature.
You can freeze Nutella Brownies as well. You can place them in ziplock freezer bags and freeze for about 3 months.
Thaw Nutella Brownies overnight in the refrigerator before serving or reheating.
Pro Tips By Neha
You can microwave the Nutella until warm and runny, so that it becomes easy to mix it in the batter.
Add in an extra yolk of egg to make the Brownies extra fudgy and chewy.
Salt is optional, but I like how it balances out the extra sweetness in the Nutella Brownies.
If you want to cool down the Nutella Brownies fast, place them in the freezer for about an hour, then slice and serve.
Do not add more flour, otherwise the brownies will turn out dry and will not be dense and fudgy.

How wonderful! Kids today are lucky – nutella was little known in the US when I was a kid, and certainly not a staple. Love this recipe!
