Nutella Brownies - To Die For!


O-M-G! These are the best brownies I’ve ever put in my mouth! How can you go wrong with a whole jar of Nutella, right? They are super moist and delicious! Just look at that picture....you can practically smell them and taste the moistness. Throw away every brownie recipe you have and only make this one from now on. I’m serious, they are THAT delicious! I made them for my first Stella & Dot party and made them again the next day for another party. I wanted to make sure all of my friends got a taste.....and maybe I needed another one for myself. Oh, did I tell you that I’m a Stella & Dot Stylist now?? Well I am and I’ve very excited about it. This is where I should plug my personal website www.stelladot.com/dawnstewart

 Now back to the brownies.....They are so easy to make too. I love a quick and easy, but still homemade recipe. Here’s what you need....first important ingredient:
Nutella isn't paying me, I just happen to think this is the best ingredient EVER!
 

 
Ingredients:

 
  • 1/2 Cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/4 Teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 Cup Nutella (one small jar is perfect)
  • 1/2 Cup brown sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 Cup melted unsalted butter

 Directions:
 
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F and make sure the rack is in the middle of the oven.
  • Butter all sides of the pan thoroughly.
  • Combine the flour and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • In another bowl, beat the eggs, hazelnut spread, brown sugar and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture, alternating with the melted butter.
This could be a good point to taste it and make sure everything tastes okay.....just a little quality control for my peeps.
 
  • Scrape the batter into the cake pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs attached (not completely clean), 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Cool in the pan for about 2 hours. Remove and cut into squares. Or if you’re like me, wait about 5 minutes, cut out a little piece and enjoy while it’s really warm! Look at that picture, how could you resist??
