Simple Fudgy Nutella Brownies

These Nutella Brownies are delicious,
fudgy and very simple to make!

Ingredients:

parchment paper

1 cup Nutella

2 eggs

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 cup all purpose flour

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/4 cup sugar (optional)**

1/4 cup choclate chips

Method:

Preheat oven to 350*. Line a 9 inch square pan with parchment paper. (Leave some overhang to make it easier to lift the brownies from the pan.)

In a medium/large bowl, use a large fork to beat together the Nutella, eggs and vanilla until the ingredients are fully mixed ans smooth.

Add the flour, cocoa powder, sugar** and chocolate chips. 

Spread the batter evenly in the lined pan. 

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. (moist crumbs or okay, but not wet batter)

Remove the pan from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool. Cool completely in the pan before lifting the baked brownies out with the parchment paper.

Cut into 16 squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Makes 16 servings.

**I made these without adding sugar, because I like the brownies to be less sweet. If you prefer a sweeter brownie, the sugar may be added.

Notes: These taste good warm, especially topped with a small scoop of ice cream. I prefer them chilled without any topping.
