Equipment

  • Microwave Safe Bowl
  • 8×8-inch metal baking pan
  • Rubber Spatula
  • Electric mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 3 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup Nutella
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 4 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch metal baking pan with foil or parchment, leaving an overhang, and coat it with nonstick cooking spray.

  • Continue heating in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
  • Allow it to cool slightly, then mix in the Nutella.
  • In another large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the eggs and sugar on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and thick, about 3 minutes.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use high-quality chocolate chips and butter.
  • If the brownies appear too gooey when you check them, they will firm up as they cool.
  • For a fudgier texture, be careful not to overbake them.
