Nutella Brownies - Happy National Brownie Day

Nutella Brownies - made November 18, 2021 from Pies and Tacos 

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

3 eggs

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2/3 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons cocoa powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup Nutella

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In the top half of a double boiler set over hot water, melt butter and 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips. Whisk until melted and combined. Remove from heat. 
3. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar; whisk until combined.
4. Add eggs, one at a time, whisking after each addition until combined. Whisk in vanilla extract.
5. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, cocoa powder and salt. Add to batter and whisk until incorporated. Beat briefly until mixture is glossy and well combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
6. Spread half the batter in the prepared pan. Drop dollops of Nutella over batter and smooth into an even layer. Cover with remaining batter and smooth top.
7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until edges have set and a toothpick inserted diagonally (try to avoid the Nutella layer and get the top layer) comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely before cutting.

Can you stand another brownie recipe? Of course you can because today is National Brownie Day :). Quick, easy, fudgy and just the thing for the Nutella lovers on your gift giving list.

I was a little generous with the Nutella layer so you can clearly see it in the pictures. This isn't the time for careful measurement of exactly what the recipe says. As the meme goes, you measure that isht with your heart. And a heavy Nutella hand.
