Who doesn’t love a soft and chewy brownie? It is the perfect little 2 inch square snack to fulfill any chocolate craving. The only problem is, its hard to eat just one.
You know when you make a fresh batch of brownies and they are sitting in that brownie pan, you cut that first little square. You leave the knife in the pan and you come back and cut a little more. Before you know it a huge chunk of brownie has disappeared. I think we are all guilty of being a brownie thief.
If you are a ooey, gooey, chocolate brownie lover and have never tried Nutella Brownies before you need to try this one. You may, just may have found a new love in brownies like I have in this recipe. These are so simple to make, and simply delicious.
If you haven’t tried Nutella in a brownie before, try this recipe and let me know what you think. I made these and I didn’t even tell people they were made with Nutella (until later of course) and they didn’t know.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened

These sound fabulous! I’ve recently discovered my love of Nutella. I’ll be making these very soon.
Thank you! I’m like you where I recently discovered my love for Nutella. Now I can’t stop eating it!
Perfect texture! Love the look of these beauties~
Mmmm…I love Nutella! I love brownies…Nutella + brownies…YUM!
Can I say something… These are heavenly. God Nutella and Brownie, a pair made in heaven. Delicious!!!!1
these look amazing. i am very picky about my brownie texture, but these look just right! can’t wait to try the recipe.
Thank you!
these brownies were an orgasm
Glad you like them!
when i made these brownies, they came out very oily…any suggestions?
SO OILY!!!!!!!!!!
I apologize these were oily for you. I would suggest increasing the amount of all-purpose flour to 3/4 cup (instead of the 1/2 cup suggested in the recipe). and cutting back on the unsalted butter to 1/3 cup (instead of a 1/2 cup suggested in the recipe). Give that a try and let me know if that works better for you. Thanks for your comments.
very good recipe…it was so chewy! loved it!!
Thank you for this recipe.
Thank you! So happy to hear you loved it!
Should I use less salt if the butter I’ll be using is regular butter?
Hi Janice! If you are using regular butter, leave the salt out. Let me know how they turn out for you!
i love you…
So perfect!! A huge hit at three parties with some picky foodies!
So glad to hear they were a hit!
made today, so yum, but really really to sweet! but that didnt stop me eating alot!
How do I check for doneness, is the toothpick method applicable for brownies? My brownies turned out burnt at the bottom, even though the tooth pick didn’t come out clean.
Or is it only because I used too much butter? I ended up using 3/4cup and diddn’t realize it until the brownie is already in the oven
Thank you for your comment. Try making it again with 1/3 cup butter. Use a toothpick as a tester and it should come out clean after about 27 minutes. If not, try going a a few minutes longer. I hope you get a chance to make them again. They are so chewy and delicious. Let me know if you try them again!
These are really delicious! The only negative (if you can call it a negative) is that they are a bit too sweet and very chewy (to the point of sticking to your teeth). I think I might try a little more flour and a bit less sugar next time. BTW, my husband, who is a brownie lover, nearly ate the entire pan! Thanks for the recipe.
These were fabulous and oh-so-easy. I also added chocolate chips, because that’s how I roll. Thanks for the simple yet delish recipe!
Hi Polly! So glad you liked these and I love your idea for adding in chocolate chips. I make these often so I am going to try that myself on the next batch!
at what degree should I bake it at?
Hello! Bake at 350 degrees F for 27-32 minutes! Let me know how they turn out for you!
can i double this recipe for a 9×13 pan??
Hi Angela- Yes you can double the recipe for a thicker brownie in a 9X13 pan or for a thiner brownie you can follow the recipe for a single batch. You will just need to adjust the baking time. I suggest doubling the recipe and baking in a 9 X 13 pan so you have thick brownies! Enjoy!
hi jennifer i made the brownies….baked them for about 15 minutes coz they started burning…when they cooled down they went so hard you couldnt bite them…:( dont know what went wrong….
Hi Angeliki- So sorry to hear that they brownies burnt for you. Did you bake them in a 8″x8″ pan?
Maybe Angeliki used Celsius instead of Fahrenheit…
Can the unsalted butter be substituted with regular butter? Because I’d really like to make these, and regular butter’s all we have.
Hi Torey ! You can use regular salted butter instead of unsalted and just leave out the 1/4tsp. salt. Enjoy!
I brought these to our church’s superbowl party last night and they were a huge hit! Thanks for the great recipe!
what about in a 9by9 pan?
These can be baked in a 9″x9″ pan but you will just need to adjust the cooking time slightly. Enjoy!
These were delicious! I added about 1/4 cup of shredded unsweetened baking chocolate which darkened the color of the brownies a bit. Also, these were still gooey in the middle when I baked for half an hour but after 10 more minutes they were perfect. I live in NJ, btw, so I don’t know if it was an altitude issue…?
Ran out of butter, so substituted coconut oil. and then I was ~1/4 cup short of nutella so added in some almond butter & 1 tbsp of Coconut Manna made by Nutiva. Just stuck the whole thing in the oven so we’ll see how the modifications turn out…
Hi Anna! Sounds like those will be delicious. Let me know how they turn out for you.
This recipe is great and thank you for sharing! I have made these about 5 times now but several of those times I have had the same problem: underdone in the middle and hard and crusty around the edge. I make them the same way each time and use a glass baking dish. I don’t know why I am having this problem. In order to get the middle to set up I have to bake longer which makes the edges hard and not very pleasant to eat. Anyone have some tips? Should I try a different type of pan? Metal? Stoneware? Adjust the recipe somehow?
Hi April- Sorry to hear you keep running into problems with this recipe. So I can help you better, are you using a 8″ square baking dish? I make these often and they always come out soft and chewy. I will retest the recipe for you this week as well and update with any adjustments. Let me know about your pan size. Thanks!
I just ‘whipped these up’ this afternoon after finding a jar of nutella in the pantry that needed to be used. WOW! being an aussie, brownies are not a regular thing here, in fact I don’t know I have ever eaten one before today, so I can’t even be sure they turned out the right way…but DAMN they taste good! they’re a little chewy around the edge which is nice, and quite gooey in the centre – bordering not cooked properly, but very very nice. Am I correct in thinking you cut these when they’re warm so the top doesn’t flake too much?
approximately how much is 1 cup of nutella? would be great if you have the nutella measurement in grams or ounces
Thank you for your suggestion. 1 cup Nutella is approximately 8 ounces. Enjoy!
Every time I make these my roommates and I eat the whole pan the same night! I love how chewy the outside pieces get! I always top them with cream cheese Nutella frosting. Sickly sweet but well worth it!
Is this recipe made to be used in a 8×8 pan for the time you have of 27-32 minutes?
If you use a glass pan when baking you should ALWAYS reduce the oven temp by 25 degrees and bake for the same amount of time. That will reduce the crusty outer edge and gooey center. Unless of course you want it that way
Hi, LOVELY recipe, it was just heavenly, chewy, chocolaty, and OMG sensation! … although it was too sweet, but that is something adjustable! I had to do an extra hour of exercise but totally worth it!.. Greetings from Puerto Rico.. Keep up the good work or should I say recipes lol
I made these this afternoon. I only had about 7/8 cup of nutella because of course, I’d been into the jar, but I added a dab of creamy peanut butter to fill up the cup, and cut the sugar to 3/4c. They turned out great!! This recipe is a keeper!
I added only half a cup of sugar and it was perfect! Since nutella has a lot of sugar in it anyway….1 cup of sugar is not necessary!
i made these recently and my whole family LOVED IT!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE RECIPE! <3 
Just made a batch of these brownies and put them into the oven 10minutes ago, and the smell of them baking is just absolutely divine
thank you so much for sharing this recipe! Fingers crossed that my brownies will turn out well!
Oh my! Oh my! I baked these the other day and they are out of this world! Since I only had about half cup nutella, I decided to add about half cup melted milk chocolate chips and I cut the amount of sugar in half (I couldn’t imagine more sugar in these). They are truly delicious and perfectly textured. Much thanks
Wondering if this could work in a cupcake pan
These are lovely! I’ve just made them now – I used self-raising flour (not at all sure what all-purpose flour actually is, as I’m from the UK) and they worked great! I actually took them out of the oven at about 25 minutes, I like them really gooey!
Has anyone made these with sugar substitutes? I’m a diabetic but I’d kill for a good brownie. Thank you
I just made these and OMG they are delicious!!!! I can’t wait for my hubby to come home from work to try them! I did use 1/2 cup of butter instead of 1/3 and they are so nice and chewy. Yummy
I took these out of the oven right at 35 minutes and it was nothing but goo! Not done in the middle! Ohh well, cooking them for a bit longer. Hope these turn out!
Give them another 10 minutes or so and they should be done. Let me know how they turn out.
Hi, Thank you for the recipe. They were absolutely gorgeous! I did however use 1/2 cup of sugar instead… It was really yummy. It was my first time making brownies and made them for the new years party. Was a hit!
Yowza. These are baking right now and I can already tell I’ll be spending extra time in the gym tomorrow. Thanks for the recipe and I also love the variations in the comments.
Glad to hear you enjoyed these amazing brownies! They are worth every bite and the extra time at the gym.
I have recipe tested this twice in 24 hours. I made them last night at home for my family and then this afternoon at work and they really are incredibly delicious. At work I added mini chocolate chips to the batter and I used 3 medium eggs instead of 2 large eggs and it came out perfectly.
So glad to hear you enjoyed these brownies. I love your idea of adding the mini chocolate chips to them also!
Will the recipe change if i use a 27cm x 17cm pan?
You will just want to adjust the baking time if you use a larger pan. Enjoy!
I don’t have vanilla, can I use a substitute??
You could use half the amount of almond extract or maple syrup. It will alter the flavor a touch but works as a substitute. The other option is just omitting it from the recipe all together. Hope that helps!
These have become a staple in my house. We have to double the batch or else we’d eat them in a day!!
I used applesauce instead of butter at a 1:1 ratio; still came out divine, with a little more cake-y texture, but still divine!
So glad to hear you enjoy these brownies. I’ll have to try them with the applesauce next time I made them. Love that idea!
If i put butter instead of unsalted butter will it change the flavor?
Hi Sofie, If you use regular butter, just omit the 1/4 teaspoon salt. It won’t change the flavor. Enjoy!
Thank you so much mother thyme
Cant wait to make them!! 
pretty exited. Oh also what if the the baking pan is 12in by 9 in pan? and thats all i have.
.
You are welcome! If you are baking in a larger pan you will want to bake them for only about 18-20 minutes roughly. Enjoy!
Thank you
will do lets see how they turn out.
And one more thing oh my gosh!! a frozen yogurt shamrock shake! thank you for that recipie im in love with shamrock shakes.
Thank you

So glad to hear you love Shamrock Shakes too! Enjoy that as well.
Do you think this would work if I made them in a cupcake/muffin pan as individual sizes? How would I need to adjust the timing?
Kammie @ Sensual Appeal recently posted…A weekend of fun with Verizon and new Blog friends
Hi Kammie, I believe another reader has made these in a mini muffin pan before and it worked well. I think she adjusted the baking time to only about 10-15 minutes. Enjoy!
I made these today for a potluck and they were AMAZING! I don’t think I’ll make any other brownies again. I doubled the recipe so I could leave some at home. I baked them in a 9X13 glass pan for about 42-44 minutes.
Hi Chrissy, I am so glad to hear you enjoyed these brownies!
Not sure what I did wrong but these were very VERY hard. Is it b/c I melted the butter completely? I don’t know. Suggestions? I agree with another reader that they were very oily too. What can I do to make these softer and more edible? I couldn’t even cut these with a knife! Thanks for any suggestions!
Hi Lindsey, Sorry to hear these didn’t work out for you. It is probably because you melted the butter. The recipe indicates to use softened butter, so I would try it with just softened butter which helps with the texture of these brownies. I make these a lot and always have a soft, chewy Nutella brownie. I also hear from readers all the time that make these and love them. Let me know how they turn out for you when you use softened butter.
Love these brownies
I added toasted hazelnuts on top before baking and it tasted amazing!!!! Big hit at the party. Thank you!
