Ingredients

  • 1 cup Nutella (about 240g)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 10 tablespoons all-purpose flour

How to Make 3 Ingredient Nutella Brownies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Nutella and eggs until smooth and glossy.
  3. Add the flour and mix until fully combined. The batter should be thick and shiny with no lumps.
  4. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
  5. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is just cooked through.
  6. Let cool completely before slicing for clean edges.

Fudgy vs Cake-Like Brownies

These brownies are all about that fudgy texture. Thanks to the Nutella base, they bake up dense, rich, and slightly chewy around the edges with a soft center.

If you prefer a more cake-like brownie, you can add an extra tablespoon or two of flour—but for true chocolate lovers, the fudgy version is hard to beat.

Expert Tips for Perfect Brownies

  • Don’t overbake: The center should still be slightly soft when you remove them from the oven.
  • Use room temperature eggs: This helps create a smoother batter.
  • Line your pan: Parchment paper makes removal easy.
  • Let them cool: This helps them set and slice beautifully.

Easy Variations & Add-Ins

  • Chocolate chips for extra richness
  • Chopped hazelnuts for crunch
  • A swirl of peanut butter for a sweet-salty twist
  • A sprinkle of sea salt on top

For an extra indulgent finish, try topping them with marshmallow frosting or a dollop of marshmallow whipped cream.
