How to make Nutella brownies

This is a one bowl brownie recipe which means cleaning up is going to be a breeze. You can make Nutella brownies from scratch with just a few steps:

What kind of pan should I use to make these brownies?

All our brownie recipes are made in an 8×8 square baking pan. It’s a standard pan that you can find anywhere and you probably have one in your kitchen right now. I have not tried making brownies in a glass or ceramic pan so I’m not sure what the outcome would be. Make sure you coat the pan with non stick spray or some vegetable oil and then line with parchment paper to prevent the brownies from sticking and making clean up easier.

How long to bake brownies?

I usually bake brownies for about 20 to 25 minutes, until the top sets and starts to have little cracks. It’s important to avoid baking the brownies for too long as they will become dry or excessively cake-y.

Yes! Simply slice the Nutella brownies into pieces and wrap each piece in a parchment paper. These brownies freeze well up to three months. To serve, thaw them in the fridge overnight and let them come to room temperature before serving. 

How long do Nutella brownies last? 

If stored properly in an airtight container and in the fridge, these brownies should last for up to a week.
