Key Ingredients for 3-Ingredient Nutella Brownies
- Nutella: The star! Its creamy texture and hazelnut-chocolate magic replace butter, sugar, and cocoa.
- Eggs: Bind everything and add lift for that perfect chewy-fudgy balance.
- Flour: Just enough to give structure without drying them out.
How to Make 3-Ingredient Nutella Brownies
No mixer, no fuss. Whisk Nutella and eggs, fold in flour, and bake. The trick? Pull them out when the center looks almost underdone—they’ll set as they cool for that iconic fudgy bite.
Variations & Pairings
- Swirl in peanut butter or sprinkle sea salt on top for a sweet-salty kick.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream (melted Nutella drizzle = mandatory 😋).
- Pair with 5-Minute Microwave Chocolate Cake for a double chocolate fix.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
✖ Overbaking: These brownies firm up as they cool. If the toothpick comes out mostly clean, they’re done!
✖ Overmixing: Fold gently—no one wants tough brownies.
✖ Skipping parchment paper: Trust me, you’ll want every gooey crumb.
Tips and Tricks for the perfect Nutella Brownies
✔ Room-temperature eggs blend smoother into the Nutella.
✔ Let them rest 10 minutes before slicing—they’ll hold their shape better.
✔ Add espresso powder (½ tsp) to deepen the chocolate flavor.

3-Ingredient Nutella Brownies FAQs
Can I use a different nut butter?
Yes, but the texture will vary. Nutella’s sugar and oil content make these brownies extra fudgy.
Can I make these gluten-free?
Absolutely! Swap all-purpose flour for almond flour or a GF 1:1 blend.
Why are my brownies cakey?
You likely overmixed or overbaked them. Next time, fold just until combined and pull them out earlier.
