How To Make Soft & Gooey 3-Ingredient Brownies – Easier Than a Box Mix!

🛒 Ingredients

1 cup (370g) Nutella (or any chocolate-hazelnut spread)

2 large eggs

½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour

🔥 Pro Tip: Use room-temperature eggs — blends smoother!

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Prep & Preheat

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or wax paper (for easy lifting).

2️⃣ Mix Wet Ingredients

In a medium bowl, add:

Nutella

Eggs

Whisk together until smooth and glossy (~1–2 mins).

✅ The heat from the Nutella helps warm the eggs — no need to pre-melt.

3️⃣ Add Flour

Gradually stir in flour until just combined.

❌ Don’t overmix — gluten development = cakey brownies.

4️⃣ Pour & Bake

Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.

Bake 20–25 minutes, until edges are set but center is still slightly soft.

🔍 Test: Insert a toothpick — it should come out with moist crumbs (not wet batter).

5️⃣ Cool & Cut

Let cool completely in the pan — this sets the gooey texture.

Lift out using parchment and cut into squares.

🍽️ Serving Ideas:

With a scoop of vanilla ice cream

Drizzled with extra Nutella or sea salt

Paired with coffee or milk

🌈 Variations & Pro Hacks

🌱 Gluten-Free? Swap flour for almond flour or 1:1 GF blend

🧊 Make-Ahead Magic: Keeps at room temp 3 days, fridge 5 days, or freeze for 3 months

❄️ Freeze It! Wrap individually — thaw at room temp or warm in toaster oven

🥜 Peanut Butter Twist: Use chocolate-peanut butter spread instead of Nutella

🍫 Extra Fudgy? Add ¼ cup chocolate chips to the batter

🧁 Mini Muffins: Bake at 350°F for 12–15 mins — perfect portion control

🧠 Why This Works So Well

Nutella = chocolate + sugar + fat in one — no extra sweeteners or oils needed

Eggs bind and lift — create structure without being cakey

Minimal flour = dense, fudgy texture (not fluffy!)

Underbaking slightly = gooey center magic

It’s not luck — it’s ingredient genius. ✨
