Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 brownies
Ingredients
- 1 box brownie mix
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it thoroughly with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the boxed brownie mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Whisk the ingredients together until they are completely smooth and well incorporated, about 2-3 minutes.
- Pour half of the prepared brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Warm the Nutella in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to make it more spreadable. Drizzle the Nutella over the first layer of brownie batter.
- Use a knife or offset spatula to swirl the Nutella into the brownie batter, creating a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter over the Nutella layer, ensuring an even distribution.
- Create additional Nutella swirls on the top layer by drizzling more Nutella and gently running a knife through the batter.
- Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 28-32 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center - it should come out with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the pan for about 1 hour before cutting into squares.
- Once cooled, cut into 12 equal pieces and serve. Optional: dust with powdered sugar or top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Tips
- Ensure your Nutella is slightly warm for easier swirling - 15-20 seconds in the microwave does the trick.
- Don't overmix when creating the Nutella swirls; gentle movements create the most beautiful marbled effect.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting of brownies.
- For extra richness, use melted butter instead of vegetable oil if desired.
- Let brownies cool completely before cutting to achieve clean, precise squares.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days for maximum freshness.
- For an extra indulgent touch, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
