Is there anything more delicious than Nutella? I think not.

I grew up eating Nutella on an almost daily basis. My morning toast had a generous portion slathered on and, more than a few times, I enjoyed spoonfuls from the jar.

In terms of recipes using it, I have a few favorites up my sleeve. I enjoy stuffing it in cookies and making cookies with it. Currently, though, I’ve been loving Nutella brownies.

Why this recipe works

  • Works with any chocolate spread. We can make it with either traditional Nutella or homemade nutella.
  • It needs just 3 ingredients. Nutella (or alternative), almond flour, and eggs. If you are wanting healthier brownies, try 3 ingredient healthy brownies.
  • Super fudgy. Even though there is no butter or oil needed, they will taste like any good bakery-style brownie.
  • Just one bowl. NO excessive clean up required.

What I love about these brownies is just how easy they are to make. I often make an entire batch after dinner and serve it with a scoop of ice cream and drizzle more Nutella on top- it’s the epitome of comfort food!

Ingredients needed

How to make Nutella brownies

Start by whisking together the Nutella, eggs, and almond flour until a thick batter remains. Transfer into a greased square pan and bake for 25-27 minutes, or until a skewer comes out mostly clean.

Now, remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan completely, before slicing and serving.

Tips to make the best recipe

  • Your chocolate spread should be smooth. If it is a little too firm, microwave it for 30-40 seconds. 
  • Do not over-bake the brownies, as they continue to cook as they cool. 
  • For ultra gooey brownies, remove them from the oven at the 25 minute mark. For thicker and chewier brownies, remove at the 30 minute mark. 

Storage instructions

To store: Leftovers can keep at room temperature, in a sealable container. They will keep well for up to 5 days. Store them in the refrigerator to keep them for up to 2 weeks.

To freeze: Store them in a ziplock bag or container, and they’ll keep for at least 6 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Nutella gluten free?

Nutella is suitable for those following a gluten free diet or are celiac, as none of the ingredients are derived from wheat.

Is Nutella healthier than chocolate?

Nutella would be considered healthier than white or milk chocolate, as it contains real hazelnuts and has more protein and fiber. However, it still contains sugar, so is something to enjoy in moderation.

What can I substitute Nutella with?

If you can’t tolerate Nutella, you can use chocolate peanut butter or chocolate almond butter.

Can I make this without eggs?

If you’d like to try this eggless, use an egg substitute.

  3. 5 stars
    Wow, I like this recipe. 💕😍. Thank you very much for taking the time to share them with us. I’m grateful 👍🏻

  4. Hi, these look great but please can you clarify the nutella weight per cup? Looking online this is 280g per cup (i.e. 700g of nutella for your recipe). For the nutella/almond flour/egg option, this makes the macros per serving 297kcal (18.5g fat, 26.8g carbs, 5.7g protein), which is a lot more than the 106kcal mentioned in your post, hence my question about the nutella weight! Hope you can help 🙂 (ps sorry if this double-posts, didn’t seem to work first time)
