If you regularly browse the baking world like I do, no doubt you’ll have seen these fantastic Nutella brownies popping up on blogs and baking sites the world over. If you haven’t, take a seat. I’m about to show you something amazing.
I also wanted to finally show off and use this super-cute silicon heart mold from the fab dotcomgiftshop. I bought it about a year ago and have consequently forgotten to use it at every opportunity since. Until now!
There’s quite a lot of controversy on various sites with plenty of bloggers claiming they invented this recipe. I didn’t. That’s for sure. I’m just going to share its amazingness. But does it actually matter? Not in my opinion. Lets get to the chocolate!
The basic amazing thing about these brownies is that they only contain 3 ingredients. Really.
Ingredients
140g Nutella
1 egg
35g plain flour
And the method’s not that tricky either…
- place all the ingredients into a bowl
- mix well
- spoon into your chosen bakeware, making sure it’s greased or lined (I used a quick spritz of cake release spray in each heart). The brownies do rise during cooking so don’t fill whatever you’re using to the top – mine were just over half full
- pop into the oven at 180 degrees. Mine came out perfectly after 15 minutes but the mold is quite small. Adjust upwards for bigger moulds and tray bakes, aiming for a crust to form on the top and no wobble to your mix.
- leave too cool at least a little (burnt mouths just are no fun) and enjoy!
Of course you can adapt the recipe to include so many different things, chocolate chunks, nuts, sweets, icing on top, the list is endless! And as these brownies are SO quick to make (you can easily whip up a batch in under half an hour), why not try them all
Oh yes – and served warm with vanilla ice cream, hot and cold heaven!
