If you’re craving something sweet but don’t want a long grocery list, these 3-Ingredient Hazelnut Brownies are exactly what you need. Rich, fudgy, and ridiculously easy, this is the kind of recipe you’ll want to keep on repeat. With just hazelnut spread, eggs, and flour, you can whip up a batch in no time—no mixer, no fuss, just pure chocolate-hazelnut bliss.
Surprisingly, brownies didn’t even exist until the early 1900s. Legend has it they were born from a baking mistake when a cook forgot to add baking powder to a chocolate cake. Lucky us, right? Fast forward to today, and we’re keeping that simplicity alive with just three magical ingredients.
Whether you’re baking for friends, a cozy night in, or simply need a quick dessert fix, this recipe delivers every time. So go ahead—treat yourself to rich flavor without the stress. These brownies are proof that less really can be more.
Recipe Yield: 9 brownies
INGREDIENTS
1 1/4 cup hazelnut spread (like Nutella)
2 large eggs (room temp)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat your oven: Heat to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper (or lightly grease with butter or spray).
2. Mix the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until slightly frothy. Stir in hazelnut spread until smooth and glossy. Then fold in the flour just until fully combined—don’t overmix!
3. Bake to perfection: Spread batter evenly into your prepared pan. Bake for 20–24 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Let cool at least 10 minutes before slicing into squares.
Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Choose the Right Spread: Use a high-quality hazelnut spread (like Nutella or a thicker artisan blend). If yours is very thick, microwave it for 10–15 seconds to loosen it up before mixing.
- Don’t Overmix: Once the flour is in, mix gently. Overmixing will make your brownies cakier and less rich.
- Chill for Clean Cuts: For neater squares, chill the baked brownies for 20–30 minutes before slicing with a sharp knife.
