Calories: 430kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 4 oz. semisweet chocolate chopped
- 1¾ cups semisweet chocolate chips divided
- 3 large eggs
- ⅓ cup chocolate hazelnut spread i.e. Nutella
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ Tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1¼ cups coarsely chopped hazelnuts toasted, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Spray a 9” square baking pan with nonstick baking spray. Line bottom with oversized parchment paper so that the paper has at least a 2" overhang on all sides. (This will help you remove the brownies from the pan later.) Set pan aside.
- Using a medium saucepan, add the butter, chocolate and 1 cup of chocolate chips. Place over medium-low heat, stirring often, until butter and chocolate have fully melted; set pan aside to cool.
- Using a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, hazelnut spread, sugar and vanilla. Stir the egg mixture into the warm chocolate mixture.
- Using a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir the flour mixture into the chocolate mixture.
- Stir the remaining ¾ cup of chocolate chips into the batter.
- Fold 1 cup of chopped hazelnuts into the batter.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining hazelnuts on top of batter.
- Bake for 40 minutes. Tent top of pan with aluminum foil and continue baking for 10-15 more minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the brownies comes out mostly clean. (Tip: The toothpick won’t be entirely clean due to the fudgy chocolate. You’re just looking to make sure that the inside of the batter is fully baked.)
- Let brownies cool completely before slicing into squares.
