Ingredients
To make Nutella brownies, you'll need the following ingredients:
1 cup Nutella
2 eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
Additional ingredients (optional)
If you want to take your Nutella brownies to the next level, you can add in some of these optional ingredients:
1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup cocoa powder
Instructions
Now that you have all the ingredients, here's how to make Nutella brownies:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add in the melted butter and Nutella, and mix until well combined.
Sift in the flour and salt, and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
If you're adding in any of the optional ingredients, fold them into the batter now.
Pour the batter into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are firm and the center is just set. Be careful not to overbake the brownies, as they will continue to cook slightly as they cool.
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool completely in the baking dish before slicing and serving.

Tips and tricks
Here are some tips and tricks to make sure your Nutella brownies turn out perfectly:
Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing them together.
Don't overmix the batter, as this can lead to tough brownies.
If you're using a glass baking dish, reduce the oven temperature by 25°F (15°C) to prevent the brownies from burning.
Let the brownies cool completely in the baking dish before slicing them, as this will make them easier to cut and prevent them from falling apart.
Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
If you're feeling adventurous, try adding in some other mix-ins like peanut butter chips, chopped pretzels, or dried fruit.
