  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 16 brownies

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup cocoa powder (125g)
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (180g)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp espresso powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup white sugar (200g)
  • ½ cup brown sugar (100g)
  • 1 cup salted butter (220g), melted
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup Nutella (150g)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 10 oz. chocolate chips (170g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and espresso powder. Set aside.
  3. Mix sugars and butter: In a large bowl, whisk the white sugar, brown sugar, and melted salted butter until well combined and smooth.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time into the sugar-butter mix, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Incorporate Nutella: Gently fold the Nutella into the wet mixture until swirled throughout, creating a marbled effect.
  6. Combine wet and dry: Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix to keep the brownies tender.
  7. Add chocolate chips: Fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
  8. Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares. This helps them set and achieve the perfect fudgy texture.

Notes

  • For extra gooey brownies, slightly underbake by reducing the time by 3-5 minutes.
  • Use high-quality cocoa powder and Nutella for the best rich flavor.
  • Espresso powder enhances the chocolate flavor but can be omitted for a milder taste.
  • Brownies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature or refrigerated for up to a week.
  • Freeze leftovers by wrapping tightly; thaw at room temperature before serving.
