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.
