Transform your brownie game with my one bowl Nutella brownies. They’re made with 3 ingredients and turn out gooey, fudgy, and crinkly-topped!

I grew up in a house where dessert was often Nutella on a spoon. And breakfast? That was Nutella on toast.
Those were simpler times, and while I still enjoy a spoonful of Nutella now and then, I much prefer adding it to my favorite baked treats. This time, we’re combining the texture of fudgy brownies with the rich, creamy flavor of Nutella spread!

Why I love this recipe
- Made in one bowl. You know what that means? Easy clean-up!
- The best of both worlds. Why choose between the flavors of Nutella and the satisfaction of a brownie when you can have both?
- Dreamy texture. Nutella adds moisture and makes for a very soft brownie, while the remaining ingredients give it a chewy bite.
- Naturally gluten-free. Because there’s no all purpose flour or grains needed!
Ingredients needed
- Chocolate hazelnut spread. The star ingredient! Use any brand of chocolate hazelnut spread, or make your own using my 3-ingredient homemade Nutella recipe.
- Large eggs. Preferably room temperature so they mix more easily.
- Almond Flour. I tested blanched almond flour and almond meal, and blanched flour yielded a better, more traditional brownie texture.
How to make Nutella brownies
I’ve included step-by-step photos below to make this recipe easy to follow at home. For the full printable recipe instructions and ingredient quantities, scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
Step 1- Prep work. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and line an 8 x 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
Step 2- Mix. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all ingredients until smooth. Pour the brownie batter mixture into the baking pan and spread evenly.
Step 3- Bake. Bake for 25-27 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out ‘just’ clean. Remove them from the oven and cool in the pan before slicing.
Arman’s recipe tips
- Is your chocolate spread really thick? Microwave it in 15-second intervals until it’s soft and smooth.
- Let some parchment paper overhang on the sides so it’s easier to remove the brownies from the pan.
- For ultra-gooey brownies, pull them from the oven at the 25-minute mark.
- For thicker, chewier brownies, leave them in for 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle the brownies with coarse sea salt when they’re fresh out of the oven.
Storage instructions
To store: Leftover brownies should be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days or in the refrigerator for two weeks.
To freeze: Wrap squares in aluminum foil and keep them in a freezer-safe container for six months. Let frozen Nutella brownies thaw overnight.
Frequently asked questions
Nutella is suitable for those following a gluten-free diet or are celiac, as none of the ingredients are derived from wheat.

My great granddaughter loves Nutella, you have made allot of children happy
Aw, Kim- what a lovely comment. Thanks for letting me know. I hope she enjoyed the brownies!
Nutella, isn’t very clean to use. Is there’s something else I can use?
Hi Robyn, you can use any hazelnut spread you’d prefer but the spread itself is a key ingredient in this recipe. I have a range of different brownie recipes though, perhaps there’s something else that you might like? This one doesn’t require any spreads https://thebigmansworld.com/6-ingredient-flourless-fudge-brownies/ Hope this helps!
