Fudgy Nutella Brownies Recipe (2024)

while suffering through my mother in law’s hate baking during lockdown. i made these winners. perfect easy recipe. watching the rest of the family inhale these while leaving her tasteless margarine cookies by the wayside gave me a small victory.

I skipped the additional sugar entirely and the results were fabulous. Used a packet of Starbucks “Via” micro ground coffee since that’s what I had on hand. Worked perfectly. Oh, and out of shear laziness, I baked these in muffin tins with paper liner cups. No scrubbing or greasing.

Perfection! I made two batches, and reduced the amount of sugar and Nutella in the second batch (lack of enough Nutella and concern about too much sweetness from the chocolate, Nutella, and sugar). Both are delicious--no one who tasted them could tell the difference. My only suggestion is to bake these brownies for 40 minutes. They were too mushy at 25 and 30 minutes, but after 40 minutes, they have the texture of cake but the smoothness of fudge.

I used 1/2 cup of sugar. I'm now struggling not to inhale the whole thing before my dinner guest gets here.

Environmentally conscious? Don’t use Nutella. They use palm oil which contributes to deforestation especially in the Amazon. It’s not good for your health either. Use the brand Nocciolata instead.

I made these for a party and they were a huge hit! I would actually skip the espresso powder. It makes a very specific dark chocolate flavor that crowds out the Nutella (I think). I also added sea salt flakes to the top and it was a huge hit!!!!

Made this for the winner of now weekly corona poker night. OMG - what a treat in every way! Just putting it together elicited gasps and giggles from the family assembled in the kitchen - my son manned the make-shift double boiler of chocolate and butter as I pulled spoonful after spoonful of Nutella out of the jar. Everyone wanted to take a turn pulling streaks of even more Nutella through the top. The result - perfect, fudgy, completely over-the-top brownies and a new tradition made! Thank you!

Super recipe. I have had many brownie failure. This was a total success. Left out the espresso powder coz I didn’t have any.

Great recipe. I definitely made this prior to seeing this one where I used a box of fudge brownie mix and then swirled in Nutella and topped off the brownie mixture with nuts of my choice. If you’re ever in a bind, just use that instant brownie mix!

Kirkland brand hazelnut spread is also free of palm oil, and it's a good deal!

Leave a Nutella-free zone in the middle - the toothpick test was a little harder to interpret because I had streaked Nutella all over and suspected it would always be liquid on the toothpick.I used 1/2 cup sugar and 30 minutes - super delicious!

First time I made these I reduced the sugar. They were good. The second time, I followed the recipe exactly. They were amazing.

Halved the sugar. Rave reviews from all. Had to bake it about 5 minutes longer that it says, but I’m not sure if that’s just because of my old oven.

Even substituting with what I had on hand (salted butter, semi sweet chocolate, ground coffee) these were absolutely terrific. No real need to measure the Nutella either, or at least I didn’t bother. Worth breaking out the stand mixer for.

what is cookie butter?

I baked a half batch in a 6" round baking pan and the result was amazing. I probably undercooked them ... wish I had first read someone's suggestion to leave a spot in the middle without the nutella swirl to accurately test doneness. I mixed in about 1/4 cup lightly toasted chopped walnuts as I love that texture in a brownie.Don't think I could specifically taste the nutella or coffee but wow the combination of ingredients make these so interesting.

This was delicious. I had to bake it for 40 minutes. Also added a bit of almond extract too.

Delicious! Each batch disappears faster than the last. I cut sugar by a few tablespoons, and a little less Nutella on top. Bake longer than instructed to get the cakey edges. The perfect brownie

Used 1/2 cup of sugar, added chopped nuts in the batter after flour was folded in and a little on top. Baked for 30 minutes and they were perfect!

Loved these!

Man, what a difference 3 minutes makes. I split the difference and baked for 28 minutes and they're slightly overdone :cryingemoji:

Don't use the coffee, as others have noted. And perhaps make it the way I did the first time (which was a mistake) -- use all the Nutella in the batter. Don't save any of the 1-cup measure for swirling on top. Finally, don't measure the Nutella, or if you do, be generous with it.

I followed others' recommendations and cut the sugar somewhat but unfortunately these tasted salty. So disappointed. Next time, I'd completely leave out the salt, or cut it and use regular but not kosher salt?

Half the recipe makes just about one dozen mini cupcakes.I used a mimi muffin tin with pam sprayed paper muffin liners, One generous tablespoon of batter for each one. Baked 17 min. Oh, and per other reviews, I only used 50g of sugar.

I left out additional sugar& espresso powder and added raw pecan nuts😃

For the fudgiest brownies, stir by hand; never use a mixer. These were good, but IMO no better than those inexpensive brownie mixes where you add eggs, water and oil. Given the high price and sat fat content of Nutella, plus the fact that I could barely detect it in the finished product, I won't be making these again.

I need to start by saying that I can’t eat dairy so I used vegan butter and made my own chocolate hazelnut spread. I would say these were fine not great and I would not say that were very fiudgey. Not bad as you can’t rally for wrong with sugar fat and chocolate but not a keeper for me.

These were perfect! Super super fudgy and so delicious. Followed recipe exactly, but had to bake longer than the 30 mins. It was still complete soup in the center with no crumbs after 30. I was a bit worried I over baked them, but they were perfect! Definitely a keeper. Next time I might try and toast some hazelnuts and sprinkle on top to give an extra boost to the hazelnut flavor.

Terrible “artisinal” faux-Nutella @ Whole Foods — all I could find — was gritty, unspreadable on top, and I think less than the 8oz the jar claimed to be. Next time will get the legit stuff!

Anyone have any ideas about this: I am thinking of making these to send to my granddaughter at college; would these probably hold up to being mailed? Thanks for any input.
