Easy Nutella Brownies

A lot of the time when it comes to food blogging there’s usually a pressure to make everything homemade. Homemade cake. Homemade frosting. Homemade powdered sugar. Homemade butter. Everything.

This recipe has just about nothing homemade. If you want to make your own Nutella and brownies from scratch that’s fine; invite me over when you do. But if you’re in a rush or just alone on a Friday night and feel like making brownies this is probably a better choice because it’s more convenient and you can eat Nutella off of a spoon while you’re waiting for the brownies to cook.

You can use any brownie mix for this recipe as long as it’s for an 8 x 8 baking pan. I used the gluten-free kind pictured below and they came out delicious. Ignore the suggested egg and oil mix-ins and use the amounts listed below.

Easy Nutella Brownies

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 25 minutes

Ingredients(Makes one 8 x 8 pan):

• 1 16oz brownie mix
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup Nutella
• 1/4 cup cooking oil
• 1/4 cup water

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and mix well. If the batter is too thick, add an extra 1/4 cup of water to thin it to a brownie batter consistency.
3. Grease an 8 x 8 baking pan.
4. Pour the batter into the pan and spread it into an even layer.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the center of the brownies has set.
6. Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool before cutting.

Frosting choice should be obvious.
