Instructions
- Prepare the Nutella Layer:
- Spread 3/4 cup of Nutella in a thin layer over parchment paper in an 8×8 inch baking pan.
- Freeze for at least 1 hour until solid.
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line the baking pan with parchment paper.
- Make the Brownie Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until fully combined.
- Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup of Nutella until no streaks remain.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, mix together flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—do not overmix.
- Layer the Brownies:
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out.
- Carefully remove the frozen Nutella layer from the freezer and peel off the parchment paper.
- Place the frozen Nutella layer on top of the brownie batter.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter over the Nutella layer, smoothing it out evenly. Optionally, dollop additional Nutella on top and swirl it in with a knife for extra flavor.
- Bake:
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Allow brownies to cool in the pan before slicing into squares.
Tips & Notes
- For an extra fudgy texture, avoid overmixing your batter once you add the flour.
- Letting brownies cool completely enhances their flavor and texture; they can be refrigerated for better slicing.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert experience.
