Homemade Brownies
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

As a child, I grew up in a European household. And unlike my friends, where butter, bread, and milk were everyday staples, in our household Nutella was also a staple. That's right the Ferraro Nutella Spread! We used to slap that on two slices of toast bread and take it to school as a lunch sandwich while other kids brought a ham and cheese sandwich.

If you have never heard of Nutella hazelnut spread, it's basically a chocolate spread, much like peanut butter, but made of hazelnuts and cocoa and sugar of course. See the details here.

In hindsight, it probably wasn't the best lunch idea, but I was a kid and it wasn't my lunch everyday either. Now as an adult I make better food choices. But, these homemade brownies definitely hit the spot when I want to be naughty with my nutrition.

Tips and Tricks to Making these Homemade Brownies

How to Measure the Butter

You might ask yourself, how do I measure 10 tablespoons of butter? The answer - there are 8 tablespoons in 1 stick of butter. Lactancia 454 g butter sticks, each stick is 113.5g. When I say 1 stick, I mean there are 4 individually wrapped sticks in a 454g package of Lactancia butter. So then you just need 1 stick and ¼ stick of butter to get 10 tablespoons of butter.

In case you don't buy butter sticks, I've provided you with this amazing chart from Michelle. The browneyedbaker put together this great conversion chart that will help you convert sticks to tablespoons to weight. Michelle also has a printable version which is linked below.

Getting the Baking Pan Ready

Whenever you are getting ready to bake something, the first things you do are:

  1. Turn on the oven
  2. Get the baking pan or tray ready

It seems that these are the steps that an experienced baker takes so that time isn't wasted waiting while the oven heat's up or while the batter sits in a bowl. If you are new to baking, you'll want to remember these tips for future baking.

I used a glass baking dish that was 11 x 7 ½ to make these brownies. They came out a little slim. You can use a 9 x 9 baking dish as well. Take some parchment paper and cut it to the size of the bottom of your baking dish and lay it as flat as possible.

Storage of these Homemade Brownies

After you have taken these bad boys out of the oven, make sure that you let them cool down at least 30 minutes. What did I say? Let them cool for 30 minutes! Don't worry, they are not going anywhere.

If you try to eat them right out of the oven they will literally crumble in your fingers. Not to mention burn you. That's the worst, when you can't wait to try something and burn your tongue.

So, no matter how much you are tempted, let them cool before you try them.

As far as storage goes, not sure it's worthwhile to give you tips on this because you probably won't have any left over. In any case, the best way to store them is at room temperature, covered with plastic wrap.

You can keep these on the counter for 3 to 4 days. They will not get hard at all.

Equipment

  • Our ingredients

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 10 tablespoons salted butter melted or 1 quarter stick and 2 tbsp butter melted
  • ½ cup warm Ferraro Nutella
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Line a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Pour melted butter into a large mixing bowl. Whisk in sugar by hand until smooth.
  • Add in eggs and vanilla extract and stir to combine ingredients.
  • Whisk in warm Nutella until combined and smooth.
  • Use a rubber spatula to stir in flour, cocoa powder, and salt until just combined.
  • Stir in whole chocolate chips.
  • Pour into prepared pan and smooth out.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Let cool in pan 30 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Let the brownies cool down completely before you eat them. I know the temptation is there to eat them before they are cool, but, don't do it. You don't want to burn yourself. And, if they are not completely cool, they will fall apart.
