🍫Ingredients & Equipment

Nutella – Acts as the star of the show, providing a rich chocolate hazelnut flavor while also contributing to the brownies’ moist, fudgy texture.
Eggs – Serve as the binding agent that holds everything together, adding moisture and richness for that quintessential brownie chew.
Gluten Free Flour Blend (King Arthur) – Gives structure to the brownies, ensuring they don’t just taste great but also have the perfect crumbly yet tender texture, with King Arthur brand recommended for consistent results.
Loaf Pan – Because they are made with 3 ingredients, they are made in smaller batches. Baking Nutella brownies gluten free is best baked in a loaf pan.

👩🏻‍🍳Chef Val’s Cooking Tips

Start with eggs at room temperature to ensure they whisk to a greater volume, resulting in lighter, more tender brownies.
Use a high-quality Nutella for the best flavor since it’s the main ingredient; cheaper alternatives may not melt as well or taste as chocolatey.
For the gluten-free flour, spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife for precision; too much flour can make the brownies dry.
Mix your batter gently to avoid overworking the flour, which can make the brownies tough instead of tender.
Grease your pan thoroughly or line it with parchment paper to ensure your brownies lift out easily without sticking.
Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs for fudgy brownies, not completely clean.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack to set properly, preventing them from falling apart when cutting.
Use a sharp knife to cut the brownies, cleaning it between slices to get clean, neat squares.

🥥Variations

Vegan Twist – Swap out the eggs for a plant-based egg replacer or flax eggs and use a vegan chocolate hazelnut spread to make these brownies vegan-friendly.
With Coconut and Almond Flour: For a Nutella brownie with a blend of coconut and almond flour, mix Nutella and eggs as directed, then stir in a tablespoon of coconut flour and three tablespoons of almond flour for structure and a nutty flavor. Bake as usual, but keep an eye on the texture, as these flours can change the baking time slightly.
Keto Nutella Brownies: Use a low carb chocolate hazelnut spread (like ChocZero hazelnut spread) and follow the directions for making with coconut and almond flour.
Cake Brownies – If you prefer a cakey texture, add a 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder to the mix, which will give the brownies a lighter, more aerated structure.
Chopped Chocolate Chunks – Fold in a handful of chocolate chunks before baking to create pockets of melted chocolate throughout the brownies for an extra indulgent treat.
Add Nuts – Stir in chopped hazelnuts, walnuts, pecans, or almonds for added crunch and a nuttier flavor that complements the Nutella.
Coffee Flavor – Add a teaspoon of instant espresso powder to the batter to enhance the chocolate flavor and add a subtle coffee note.
Salted Top – Sprinkle a little flaky sea salt on top before baking to balance the sweetness and add a trendy gourmet touch.
Marshmallow Swirl – Dollop marshmallow fluff on top of the batter and use a toothpick to swirl it in for a gooey, marshmallow variation.
Nutella mug brownie: To make a single-serve brownie, mix a couple of tablespoons of Nutella with an egg and a tablespoon of gluten-free flour directly into a greased mug until a thick batter forms. Microwave it on high for around 60-90 seconds until it’s risen and firm to the touch.

🧊Storing & Freezing

Storing: Keep your brownies in an airtight container at room temperature, where they’ll stay fresh and fudgy for up to 4 days. Avoid refrigerating as it can dry them out and harden their texture.

Freezing: If you want to freeze them, wrap the entire batch tightly in plastic wrap and then again in aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. They’ll keep well for up to 4 months. When you’re ready to enjoy, thaw them overnight at room temperature for best results.

❔FAQ

Can I make these brownies with regular flour if I’m not gluten-free?

Yes, you can use regular all-purpose flour in a 1:1 substitution for gluten-free flour if gluten isn’t a concern for you. The texture and taste will remain deliciously consistent.

What can I do if I don’t have a loaf pan?

No problem. You can use an 8×8 inch square pan; just keep in mind that the brownies will be thinner and may require less baking time and will be thinner and less fudgy.
