When I saw Julie Marie Eats' gorgeous Instagram post on her Nutella Brownies, I knew I had to make them asap! This recipe did not disappoint. It turned out exactly how I expected them to be; fudgy, ooey-gooey and super delicious!
It received rave reviews from my fam. However, half of them didn't like the sea salt flakes on top and the other half of them did. I personally do. So the next time I make this (and I most definitely will) my daughter suggested that I should just sprinkle half the brownie with salt and leave the other half without. My other daughter is already saying that I should make this again so this recipe is definitely a keeper!
I did reduce the amount of brown sugar in the recipe as Nutella on it's own is already quite sweet and having done that, I found it to be just perfect for my and my family's taste.
In my video you will see me switching from hand whisk to electric but I would suggest using an electric mixer for the whole process to make things easy.
Here is my 1-min TikTok and Instagram video on the process. Here is another updated video on my TikTok and Instagram where I made 2 brownies with the same recipe but one with Nutella and the other with salted caramel.
