Well hello there! I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, but I have been so busy lately, that I barely have time to sleep. Barely had time to sleep means that I’m getting maybe 2-3 hours a night. This can’t be good.
I’m usually really good at hiding how little I’ve slept. That is, until a couple of days ago. I’m in first class of the morning, waiting for it to start when my friend arrives and says “wow, you look like a mess.” Even though I was happy for his honesty, that is hardly something a girl wants to hear first think in the morning.
It feels like I’m drowning in work, but I can almost see the end. As soon as I have my final midterm of the term and finish my huge project (which I asked for an extension on, but I’m not even sure if I can finish it by the new date either) I will feel a huge weight lifted from my chest. Then I can start looking after myself. Maybe I’ll get some sleep.
But I was having a mini panic attack the other day when I realized I haven’t baked in a couple of days. Whenever anyone hears about my problem, they are always thinking I mean that I haven’t GOTTEN baked in that long. But no, my addiction is not pot, it is making cookies, cakes, pies and, yes, you guessed it..
BROWNIES!!
The best part is the main ingredient is Nutella. It’s almost like I’m eating Nutella out of the jar, but my hands don’t get dirty in the process. Total win-win.

Try to breathe, girl! And inhale some of these brownies. They look absolutely delicious!
I hope your work load lightens soon, keep your chin up and get some sleep!
There's a big jar of nutella in my cupboard just waiting to be converted into these brownies! Thanks for the recipe and good luck with the workload!
LOVE anything with nutella. My fave!
Hi Cathleen, awesome brownies, I love nutella anytime any day. Thanks for the wonderful recipe. Best regards.
Cathleen, you have given me something else to bake with Nutella! Can't wait to bake these 🙂
Realmente lindos y deliciosos me encantan,hugs,hugs.
This recipe is so right up my alley. Nutella = life. They look perfectly fudgy too, I can't stand cakey brownies.
These look great! Haven’t yet cooked with nutella but these may be the first!
It is my go-to recipe!
Amazing! Just made some nutella fudge in a crock pot, very similar!
No way! I didn’t think you could make fudge in a crock pot!
Yup! It came out pretty good too!
this recipe is amazingly simple! I’m going to have it it out! what would you recommend as an egg substitute, though?
I have never substituted eggs in this recipe, but I have had success in the past with 1 tbsp. ground Flaxseed + 3 tbsp. Water per egg in other recipes. Let me know if you try it out!
YUM! Nutella in a brownie sends me right in heaven! I’ve been wanting to make a Nutella brownie for some time but didn’t have a recipe, thanks, will make yours!
Thanks Patty. Let me know how it goes!
I’ve been searching for a super easy brownie recipe and THIS takes the cake!!!! Can’t wait to recreate!
I hope you try it. It is my favourite brownie recipe!
Sandwich some vanilla ice cream between two of these and I’m in heaven!
Oh yes! Good idea! 🙂
Soft, moist and gooey. Nutella is yummy. These Brownies are best for all sweet tooth lovers. Perfect for Tea TIme or Snack Box option too.
Got to agree with you there 😉
These brownies are so dangerous! Chocolate is my weakness and adding that into brownies make my dessert taste extra special!
Agree! They are so good 🙂
The Nutella lover in me went ga-ga when I found this brownie recipe. It was the perfect, easy sweet treat.
Ahh yay that makes me so happy to hear!
What a great way to make brownies with Nutella. So delish! I guess I will have to try Biscoff next! Yummo!
Yes!! It’s so good with Biscoff!
I love that these brownies have a light nutty flavor without the chunks of nuts! Delicious version of a classic dessert.
Thanks so much! 🙂
These Nutella brownies came out just the way I like. The flavor was spot on and the whole family loved them!
I am so glad to hear that 🙂
I am a firm believer that Nutella makes all recipes better, lol. It definitely elevates these brownies!!
Haha, I am of that belief too 😉
Love these gooey nutella brownies! So easy to make and so addictive! A regular treat at our house.
Same here 🙂
Such a great flavor profile on these brownies! I love the nutella and the nutty undertones it gives while still giving you that chocolate flavor!
Yes!! So good 🙂
Did you say Nutella? 🤔 😋. I am totally wanting these. A great sweet treat for afternoon coffee at work. Torally understand the overworked feeling. Not easy having many jobs, and lack of sleep really catches up to you. Hope you get some rest and great that you cranked out a pist and baking is great for the soul! ❤️ 😍
Thank you so much for your sweet comment!
