How to make Nutella brownies
- Combine the eggs and salt using an electric mixer. Then add the almond flour and mix for another minute or so.
- Now add the Nutella (I like to warm mine up in the microwave for a few seconds to liquefy it).
- Once the Nutella is mixed into the brownie batter, transfer it to a baking dish and bake in the oven as instructed in the printable recipe below.

Tips to make the best homemade brownies
- Baking time. A few minutes in the oven can change the consistency. If you like a fudgy center then you bake it for less. Don’t forget that the brownies bake a little more when out of the oven but left in a hot baking dish.
- Bake the brownies in the center of the oven. If you bake them at the bottom of the oven, the brownies can burn at the bottom and will not be as evenly baked. Also, if you bake them on the top rack, the top can brown too quickly. Which will leave the inside slightly raw.
What is gluten?
-Gluten is a substance present in many baked goods such as bread, pizza, cereal grains, and wheat. Gluten is known to bring forth the elastic texture in many dough recipes. The most common place you can find gluten is in all-purpose flour. It is a mixture of 2 proteins, which commonly causes illness in people with celiac disease.
How to make brownies gluten-free
-Omit the all-purpose flour and replace it with Almond flour!
-Most brownies have all-purpose flour in them. So if you can’t have gluten then this is a perfect brownie recipe for you, and you don’t sacrifice any flavor.

We love this recipe…naturally anything with Nutella in it is a home run! I was just wondering if anyone has tried coconut flour instead of almond flour? Thanks for the recipe!

Can I make them with regular flour?
simplyhomecooked says
Yes, you can, but the taste and texture will be a little different. I personally love the soft texture that the almond flour gives these brownies. It also gives it amazing flavor as well.
