A Plate of Freshly Baked, Fudgy 3-Ingredient Nutella Brownies with A Crackly Top

3-Ingredient Nutella Brownies

These 3-ingredient brownies are for the moments when your chocolate craving hits hard, and you don’t have the time (or patience) for a full-blown baking marathon. No melting chocolate, no measuring cups overflowing with sugar, no complicated steps—just three simple ingredients that come together in a way that feels almost too good to be true.

Equipment

  • 8x8-inch baking pan
  • Parchment paper or non-stick spray
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Whisk or spoon
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Nutella (or any chocolate hazelnut spread)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
 

  • Prep Your Baking Pan
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with oil. Parchment makes lifting the brownies out so much easier.

  • Mix the Batter
    In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until they’re slightly frothy—this helps create a smooth texture. Pour in the Nutella and stir until fully combined.
    Now, slowly fold in the flour. Mix just until combined—overmixing will make the brownies too dense. The batter will be thick, almost like a rich chocolate paste.

  • Bake to Perfection
    Spread the batter evenly in your prepared pan, using a spatula to smooth it out. Bake for 20–25 minutes. The edges should look set, and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs—not wet batter.
    For extra fudgy brownies, take them out closer to 20 minutes.

  • Let Them Cool
    Let the brownies cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Cutting too soon can make them fall apart, so patience is key!

Notes

Cooking Tips

  • For extra fudgy brownies, bake for 20 minutes instead of 25.
  • To enhance the chocolate flavor, add a pinch of sea salt.
  • Want more texture? Stir in ½ cup of chocolate chips or chopped nuts before baking.
  • For an ultra-indulgent treat, drizzle warm Nutella over the top before serving.
