3 Ingredients Brownies (Fudgy & Chewy)
These incredibly easy 3 ingredient brownies are fudgy and chewy have a crackly top and have the perfect texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Nutella
- 2 Eggs room temp, large
- ½ cup Flour AP, or cake flour
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 180c (350f) and prep a parchment paper-lined 8 by 8 baking pan.
- Into a large mixing bowl, add the Nutella and eggs and mix with a whisk well until the mixture is well combined and glossy.
- Add the flour (sift it for the best result), and mix it with a whisk until almost combined.
- Use a rubber spatula to finish mixing the batter and mix it until just combined when there is no flour showing.
- Pour the batter into a parchment paper lined 8 by 8 brownie pan and smooth it out with an offset spatula. Bake in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Do not overbake it to keep the brownies fudgy!
- Allow the brownies to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing, so they won't crumble and fall apart.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients. It is important that you use room-temperature ingredients like eggs and Nutella. This step ensures that your mixture mixes into a homogenous mixture and bakes perfectly. you don’t want to place cold batter into the oven.
- Don’t overmix the batter, you don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour. This step ensures you have moist cupcakes and not dense and dry cupcakes.
- Mix the Nutella and eggs for at least 3 minutes with a whisk until a glossy and smooth texture forms. This what creates the crackly top of the brownies.
- Measure your flour correctly! When measuring your flour, avoid scooping it with a measuring cup. Instead, stir the flour with a spoon to create as many air pockets as possible, and spoon it into your measuring cup. Finally, level it with a back of a knife.
- Don’t overbake your brownies! to have super moist brownies, we like to underbake the brownies a little bit.
- Be patient! I know it’s extremely tempting to eat these brownies as they are pulled out of the oven, but let these brownies cool for at least 30 minutes so they will be firmer and won’t crumble up.
- Ensure you line your baking pan with parchment paper to prevent the brownies from sticking to the pan.
- Spread the batter evenly. Use a spatula to spread the batter evenly in the pan. This ensures uniform cooking and prevents some parts from being overcooked while others remain undercooked.
- Experiment with add-ins. While the basic recipe calls for just three ingredients, don't be afraid to experiment. Try adding chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top for extra flavor and texture.
