Nutella and Hazelnut Brownies
These scrumptious Nutella and Hazelnut Brownies are gooey, chewy, fudgy, and loaded with delicious toasted hazelnut pieces.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour or all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup Nutella or other chocolate hazelnut spread
- 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter cooled slightly
- 3/4 cup coarsely chopped toasted* hazelnuts
Instructions
- Place a rack in the centre of your oven and preheat oven to 325ºF.
- Grease the bottom and sides of a 8-inch square pan or line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on all sides.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a small bowl combine the flour and salt.
- In the bowl of your mixer, combine the eggs, vanilla, Nutella and brown sugar. Mix on medium speed until the mixture is creamy.
- Beating on low speed, add the flour, alternating with the melted butter to the creamed mixture and beat until there are no traces of flour.
- Add the chopped hazelnuts and stir until they are well distributed in the batter.
- Spread the brownie batter in the baking pan and bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out with some still wet and gooey crumbs.
- Let brownies cool, then slice with a sharp knife into 16 pieces.
Recipe Notes
*Toast the hazelnuts in a 350ºF oven for about 10 minutes or until they begin to colour. Wrap the hazelnuts in a kitchen towel and rub them in the towel to remove the loose skins. Let cool and chop coarsely.
