You'll get double the hazelnuts in every bite of these moist brownies, thanks to the Nutella and crunchy roasted hazelnuts in the batter. (Imagine a classic Italian Baci chocolate kiss, only better.) All you need are basic cooking tools, so cooking and cleanup are easy. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Angela Brassinga.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F.

Butter an 8-inch square pan and dust with flour, tapping out any excess. Set pan aside.

Combine the flour and salt in a small bowl. Coarsely chop the hazelnuts.

Lightly beat the eggs with a fork in a large bowl until yolks and whites are combined.

Add the Nutella, brown sugar, and vanilla and stir vigorously with a rubber spatula until well combined.

Add the melted butter and mix until well combined. Add the flour mixture and stir until blended. Fold in the hazelnuts.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer.

Bake the brownies on middle rack of oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached, about 45 minutes.

Check to see that brownies are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Set brownies on a cooling rack and cool completely in the pan, about 2 hours.

Cut the brownies into 16 squares. Serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Nutella Swirl Technique 🌀
For a beautiful marbled effect, warm the Nutella slightly and use a toothpick to create elegant swirls on top of the brownie batter before baking.
Hazelnut Roasting Pro Tip 🥜
Toast hazelnuts in a dry skillet for 3-5 minutes before adding to the batter to intensify their flavor and create a more robust, nutty profile.
Moisture Magic 💧
To ensure ultra-chewy brownies, remove them from the oven when a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs - this prevents over-baking and maintains a fudgy texture.
Pan Preparation Perfection 🧈
Line your baking pan with parchment paper that overhangs on two sides, creating easy lift-out handles for perfect, clean brownie cuts.
Nutella Distribution Hack 🍫
Fold Nutella into the batter in gentle, incomplete swirls to create pockets of intense chocolate flavor throughout the brownies.
