Homemade Hazelnut Brownies

Quick, easy, and chocolatey, this four-ingredient recipe can’t be beat. Better yet, it’s made with items that you probably already have in your kitchen.

(This is good news because if you ask me, there is such a thing as a chocolate emergency. 😉 )

And don’t you hate when you’re craving brownies and the recipe says to bake for 45 to 50 minutes? Well, this one bakes in just 20!!!

Ingredients for Hazelnut Brownies

Made with creamy hazelnut spread, eggs, flour, and a dash of salt, these decadent treats couldn’t be simpler. Plus, if you’re already a fan of chocolatey-hazelnut goodness, this recipe is a must.

You won’t believe how four basic ingredients can make a dessert that’s soooo good!

My pantry is always stocked with flour, salt, and, of course, a jar of chocolate-hazelnut spread. And with all the cooking and baking I do, I always have eggs in our refrigerator.

Matt and I switched to Nellie’s Free Range Eggs last year, and after tasting the difference, we’ll never go back! These eggs are fresh and nutritious, and they make all my recipes as delicious as can be.

And we would know; we go through a lot of eggs. Between our appetites and my job, we’ve been known to go use a dozen in a day!

Whether eggs are the star of the dish or they’re baked into cookies or cakes, quality is key., which is why I only use Nellie’s. Their eggs are Certified Humane free range, so I feel good knowing the hens are treated well (and the delicious taste is an added bonus!)

When your recipe only has four ingredients, each one of them better be good. Needless to say, Nellie’s Free Range Eggs are an essential ingredient in Hazelnut Brownies (and all my recipes).

You’ll definitely want these on hand for when your sweet tooth strikes!

How To Make Hazelnut Brownies

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees, lining an 8-inch square baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Then, add hazelnut spread to a large mixing bowl.

2. Add in Nellie’s Free Range eggs.

3. Use a hand mixer to beat the eggs and hazelnut spread together until smooth. A stand mixer would also work, but because of the sticky nature of the hazelnut spread, I wouldn’t recommend mixing by hand.

4. Add in the flour.

5. Add in the salt.

6. Now you have some options. If you like cakey brownies, simply transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake. OR, if you love fudgy brownies, stir in mini chocolate chips. Semi-sweet or dark chocolate is fine. Then spread the batter in the prepared pan.

7. Now, you have even more options. If you love a bit of crunch to your brownies (like I do), you can top the batter with chopped hazelnuts before baking.
