Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.25 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 0.66 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.75 cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 0.33 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 0.25 tsp fine salt
  • 0.25 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 cup semisweet chocolate chips optional
  • 2 tbsp chocolate-hazelnut spread for swirling on top, optional
  • 0.25 tsp flaky sea salt for finishing, optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment, leaving overhang. Lightly grease the parchment.
  • Whisk melted butter, 1 1/4 cups chocolate-hazelnut spread, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.
  • Beat in eggs and the extra yolk, one at a time, until the batter looks thick and glossy.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, salt, and baking powder to combine.
  • Fold the dry mixture into the wet just until no dry streaks remain. Stir in chocolate chips if using.
  • Spread batter evenly in the pan. Dollop the remaining 2 tbsp chocolate-hazelnut spread on top and gently swirl.
  • Bake 22–28 minutes, until edges are set and a toothpick has moist crumbs, not wet batter.
  • Cool completely in the pan. Lift out, cut into squares, and finish with a pinch of flaky salt if desired.

Notes

For extra texture, fold in chopped toasted hazelnuts or swap chips for chunks. Store brownies airtight at room temperature for 3 days, or wrap and freeze up to 2 months.
