Hey hey fellow Nutella fan and welcome! Ok so I feel like the answer to this may be obvious but here is...
Why you NEED 5-Ingredient Nutella Brownies in Your Life
Have you ever wished you could just hold a piece of Nutella in your hands and bite it instead of that awkward licking it off a spoon thing? Well, here's the answer to those prayers and all you need is a bowl, a spoon and five ingredients. Oh and something to bake the brownies in.
Nutella brownie recipes have been floating around for a while but after a few run ins with recipes that consumed a jar or more of Nutella and had minimal Nutella taste I was very hesitant to try them. One day I succumbed, but not after making some alterations. First of all, I didn't see the point in additional butter, second of all a little leavening never hurt anything and third of all Nutella is so sweet that some coarse salt is almost a must have. The result is what I had hoped it would be.
The best part? Because they are so gooey they don't dry out making them a great make ahead dessert for the holiday season!
So without any further ado I present to you these incredibly gooey undeniably Nutella-y brownies.

The opening of your post reminds me of early on in my marriage, I once had nutella straight from the jar, and then hid the empty jar as I heard my husband come home cuz I had no idea how he would react lol! I can't even remember what he said when he found out now but we're still together so he must embrace my addiction haha. These sounds wonderful! x
Eraj says
Sarahhhhhhhh.. HELP!! I am going to stick my face straight into the jar of nutella while my husband isnt looking - who needs a spoon?! After a LONGGGG time of staying as faaarrrr away as possible from the isle that carries nutella, yesterday I buckled when the supermarket had a promotional ENTIRE WALL of nutella - and I mean piled Right up to the roof. So I brought home a jar and now I have no sense of restraint left! I need to bake something before I Actually stick my face in the jar and lick it clean!
sarahjmir says
evil nutella displays get me every time!!!! I have a nutella pound cake here which is awesome - and makes for great gifts. I make small loaves so I can give them to friends (and still get one lol). good luck ehhe
Eraj says
I made the brownies - Yummy! And ridiculously easy. Brownies get shared with hubs and Mom, and the jar is there to tempt me no more.... win win? I suppose so!
Sigh.
sarahjmir says
hahaha you know they basically taste like nutella without the awkwardness of spoon licking. But there are nutella jars on sale every where I go now - so tempting! glad you made the brownies!

erin andreu says
for the nutella do you use the whole 13 oz jar of nutellla. how many cups would that be?
sarahjmir@gmail.com says
Yes I do - sorry about the delay, I think there was some sort of technical kink w my blog *sigh* I believe that 13 oz is roughly 1 1/3 cup of Nutella. Hope this helps!

Super easy and scrummy, I threw in a bag of dark choc chunks for a little texture and it just mskes the even more rich, the salt on top is a nice break from all the sweetness. Def my go to recipe when im having chocolate withdrawals!

Hazel says
Wow! The best brownies ever! And easy. While I was making them I was secretly hoping I wouldn't like them because I really don't need the extra calories.....no chance of that. They are absolutely delicious.
Thanks for the recipe.
sarahjmir@gmail.com says
hahahahah I like how we both had the same experience! SO glad you tried them and thanks for taking time to share your feedback!
Emma says
How long do you put the brownies in the oven.
sarahjmir@gmail.com says
Hey Emma! Bake the brownies for 22-26 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out almost clean. the almost part is key because you want them to be beautifully fudgy!
Lucy says
Amazing recipe, can't wait to try it! Which flour is it and do you use the entire jar of Nutella? X
sarahjmir@gmail.com says
So sorry for the late reply, but I use all purpose or whole wheat pastry flour and they both work well. And yes the whole jar of nutella (the small one). happy baking!
