Nutella Brownies

On my Facebook page and Twitter I’ve been teasing you all about big changes coming to this blog. The day is finally here and I’m excited to show you guys the new 52 Kitchen Adventures. If you’re reading this via email or RSS feed, click here so you can see for yourself…

Have you come over yet? Good.

Welcome to the new 52 Kitchen Adventures!

 

What do you think? The talented Kelly Sauer chose my site to win a design giveaway on her blog. (The best prize I’ve ever won!) She started from scratch and designed a clean, beautiful new site for me. It’s such an upgrade from the images I had put together with my extremely limited design abilities.

To thank Kelly, I made Nutella brownies and mailed them to her house. Her son especially enjoyed them – she caught him sneaking almost the whole batch the day after they arrived!

These brownies are incredibly fudgy and rich. If you prefer fudgy brownies over cake-like brownies, you have to try this simple recipe. And if there is a chocolate or Nutella lover on your shopping list, these would make a great homemade gift. Wrap them up with a pretty ribbon and you have an easy present that they will certainly enjoy.

Speaking of presents, this month also marks the 2nd birthday of 52 Kitchen Adventures! I couldn’t let the relaunch and anniversary go by without a celebration. To celebrate, I’m giving away a $50 gift card to Amazon.com. You could use it to finish up holiday shopping – or, even better, treat yourself to something on your own wish list.

Here are a few ideas off my own wish list. You could get…

An immersion blender

A fancy French press

A cool rolling pin with removable discs so you always get your dough to the right thickness

Or maybe a cute pair of booties

To enter, all you have to do is one (or more) of the options in the Rafflecopter widget below. You can tweet once a day for additional entries (that’s why it’s worth 1 entry instead of 2). Good luck!

Recipe:

Nutella Brownies
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Nutella
  • 3/4 cup flour
Preheat oven to 350°F and grease an 8″x8″ baking dish.
In a large bowl, beat butter until light and fluffy. Add sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt to bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. Mix in Nutella and stir until mixture is creamy. Add flour and stir until just combined.
Pour into prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

    YAY STEPH CUTE BLOG! It is so sunny and adorable in here.

    I have to say, the aeropress is even better than the fancy french press. We got one and it makes the best coffee ever. And it only takes 40 seconds to make once you have the coffee ground and whatnot.

    Also, what is up with the fashion industry? I forgive them for calling a pair of pants “a pant” and then they go and call those things “booties”.

    I am totally going to make those brownies, post-haste! (Actually, I want to use the new Faux-Nutella from Trader Joe’s — it is almond and chocolate instead of hazelnut and chocolate. I will let you know how it goes!)

    YOU OWE ME A JAR OF NUTELLA. I might as well thrown my Nutella in the garbage.
    Does anybody actually try her recipes? Or do you just go in awe everypost ignoring the recipe completely?

    This did not turn out at all, not even close to what it looks like to a brownie.
    First off, they were IN THE OVEN FOR AN HOUR. It was nothing but a thin layer of crust with liquid inside. So i turned it up to 400, then it smells like it was over done (heck it was in the oven for over an hour by now).
    When these came out, it was just a big clump of sugar texture. It’s sticky. Granulated. Because of this it doesn’t really stay together. Burns your mouth.
    None of that fudgy stuff, or what the consistency of a brownie usually should looks like.

    And this isn’t the first time one of her recipes fails on me. It may look simple, but believe me she cant bake poop according to my ovens.

    Unless you’re rich and don’t mind wasting a jar of precious Nutella..
