    Alright brownie lovers.... I've got you!!!!

    You know how much I love a good brownie... from classic 5 minute brownies to adults-only Baileys brownies, everyone's favourite gluten-free brownies and more... if there's a delicious brownie around, I'm there!

    One Bowl Brownies

    Forget about making a big mess in the kitchen... these Nutella brownies are made using just one bowl! That's it!

    There's no need for any fancy equipment - simply melt the butter and chocolate and then mix everything together.

    These brownies COULD NOT BE EASIER!!!

    What You Need

    To make my super simple one-bowl Nutella brownies, you'll need:

    • butter - I like to use unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt to the mixture - this allows you to control the saltiness in the brownie
    • dark chocolate - use a good quality dark cooking chocolate (I like to use Nestle, Lindt or Cadbury brands)
    • Nutella - or any chocolate hazelnut spread
    • brown sugar - light or dark brown can be used.
    • eggs - use large eggs (approximately 55g)
    • vanilla extract
    • salt
    • plain flour - also known as all-purpose flour

    Note: scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for ingredient quantities and the full detailed method.

    3 Step Recipe

    Step 1 - Melt the butter and chocolate

    The Secret To Gooey Brownies

    Ever wondered how you make amazing cafe-style gooey, rich and fudgy brownies? I've got you covered:

    • Nutella is the key to making these brownies incredibly fudgy and gooey... and just wait til the next day (they're even more DELICIOUS!)
    • adding the extra egg yolk gives the brownies a thick dense texture
    • cooking the brownies until the top is flakey and the base is still moist and fudgy is key! Don't overcook the brownies! Test them by inserting a skewer into the middle, it should come out with a thick smear of brownie on it (but not runny).

    Recipe Tips

    How long do brownies last?

    Brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.

    Can you freeze brownies?

    Absolutely! Freeze brownies in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Allow to come to room temperature before serving.

    What do you serve brownies with?

    You can serve brownies on their own or with berries, whipped cream, custard, ice-cream, grated chocolate or berry coulis.
