Hazelnut Brownies
The theme this week at I Heart Cooking Club is Land of Sweets. Appropriate for the holiday season, eh? When I was still working people would bring in so many sweets that you'd end up swearing them off for the new year. Overload.
As I am retired now the temptation of too many desserts sitting around has been removed. I honestly do try to keep baking to a minimum, except bread of course.
Anyway, to join in I made these hazelnut brownies using Nutella from a Tieghan Gerard recipe. Five ingredients! Look at this photo, looks like fudge getting ready to go in the oven.
The first sample we tried using a whipped topping.
Next a little spread of Nutella on the brownies. That's so rich.
Tieghan Gerard's 5 ingredient Nutella brownies
1 cup of hazelnut spread such as Nutella
4 TB soft butter
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup AP flour
Mix up all the ingredients except flour until smooth. Next add the flour but don't overmix it. Just blend well.
Pour into a baking pan, 8x8 lined with parchment paper.
Bake 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out of the middle cleanly.
Next time I would add the entire jar of Nutella instead of 1 cup. It's just a little bit more and I think it would make the brownies more moist. These came out cakelike so if you like your brownies more....ooey...cut back on flour a bit and add more Nutella.
