Did you know that Nutella has most of the ingredients to make brownies in it already? It has the chocolate and hazelnut, oils and sugar! That's more than half the recipe right there! Crazy right?

But it gets better (I feel like an informercial right now: But wait! There's more! LOL) Just add flour and eggs and you can actually make brownies from it. Consider me gob smacked!

Somebody gave me this recipe years ago and I've been making it ever since because it's so easy!

3 ingredient Nutella brownies

It's just 3 ingredients:
1 cup Nutella
10 Tbs flour
2 eggs

Mix it all together and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. That's pretty much it! Well, actually you can make them one of 2 ways. Either in muffin tins or in an 8X8 pan.

Muffin tins: Line with paper liners and portion into about 12 cups then bake 30 minutes.

Cake pan: grease the bottom of an 8X8 pan and pour mixture in then bake about 30 minutes or when toothpick inserted in center no longer comes out wet. Unless you like your brownies really fudgy, then go ahead and take them out a few minutes early!

You can drizzle them with a little bit of melted Nutella if you'd like or use chocolate icing, but it absolutely not necessary if you don't want to mess with the extra step.

Recipes just don't get easier than this! The first time I made these brownies my daughter helped and she was  about 16. I wanted to add some chopped hazelnuts and she said not to because she doesn't like nuts. Huh?

I don't think she realizes Nutella is actually made with nuts? Who knows, kids are weird sometimes!

But since then I've made them with chopped nuts and even tossed in some chocolate chips and they were amazing! So feel free to get your creativity going and make this recipe you're own type of special.

If you do, I'd love to hear how you customized your brownies in the comments below!
