These two ingredient Nutella brownies are fudgy, chocolatey, and delicious! An easy brownies recipe prepared with just eggs and Nutella!
Easy Nutella Brownies
So, 2-Ingredient Nutella Brownies – I think I’ve accidentally stumbled into gluten-free territory! These little Nutella bites of yumminess have become our go-to chocolate snack around here, taking up space underneath that cake dome on a regular basis.
I’ve made these brownies countless times and finally decided to share them with you. Initially, I was skeptical that just eggs and Nutella could create a delicious dessert, and it wasn’t as simple as I expected, but I found the solution. The key is to beat the eggs thoroughly with an electric mixer, then warm up the Nutella until it’s just thin enough before gradually adding it to the eggs. And there you have it—delicious Nutella Brownies!
If you’re expecting a traditional brownie texture, this isn’t it. However, the taste and texture are similar to a fudgy brownie, just not as sweet. I didn’t add any sweeteners to these, but you can definitely dust them with some powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
What You’ll Need
To make these rich, fudgy brownies, you’ll only need these two simple ingredients: Nutella and eggs. Get ready to whip up a delicious brownie batter with just these two ingredients!
- Nutella: This delicious hazelnut spread is rich, chocolatey, and sweet. Substitute with any other chocolate-hazelnut spread if desired. You could also make my homemade nutella!
- Eggs: You’ll need 4 large eggs at room temperature.
How To Make Nutella Brownies
The recipe makes exactly nine bars, and it is hard not to eat them all in one sitting. I should know. Follow these simple steps to create rich, two ingredient brownies that everyone will love!
- Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Beat the Eggs: Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs on high speed for about 6-8 minutes until they are pale and have tripled in volume. This step is crucial for achieving the right texture.
- Warm the Nutella: In a microwave-safe bowl, warm the Nutella for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until it is smooth and slightly runny.
- Combine Ingredients: Slowly add the warmed Nutella to the eggs, pouring in a steady stream while continuing to beat the mixture on low speed until fully combined.
- Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting into nine bars. If desired, dust with powdered sugar for added sweetness.
Recipe Tips & Variations
- Run the Mixer While Adding Nutella: Make sure the mixer is running while you slowly pour in the warm Nutella. This prevents the eggs from cooking due to the heat of the Nutella.
- Use Parchment Paper: Line your baking pan with parchment paper to make it easier to remove the brownies once they’re baked. This also helps with cleanup.
- Add Nuts: Stir in some chopped nuts, such as pecans, walnuts, or hazelnuts, for added crunch and flavor.
- Top with Sea Salt: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the batter before baking for a sweet and salty flavor combination.
- Mix in Chocolate Chips: Fold in some chocolate chips for an extra burst of chocolate.
- Add Vanilla: Mix in a teaspoon of vanilla extract with the eggs.
ENJOY!

This looks absolutely delicious! I can’t believe you need just Nutella and eggs. I only wish I had an electric mixer with me in college, but alas I will have to wait until the summer to make this!
I just made these again for the billionth time, but this time I used a handheld mixer and it worked!! FYI! ๐ Go to the nearest store and grab a $15 mixer and make them. ๐
can you meet the eggs without a mixer, or should the eggs be only beaten with a mixer and be fluffy like whipped? Thank you.
HI!
Yes, you need an electric mixer to do the work. The eggs need to be fluffy and they need to triple in size. I think it would be impossible to do that without a mixer.
These look absolutely tasty and I can’t wait to try to make them later!
Just one question:
How much is in that nutella jar you’re using? Because over here we have big ones and small ones and I’m not so sure which one you used ๐
thanks for sharing this!
HI! ๐
It’s the smaller jar. I wish I had one right now so I could tell you the exact amount that’s on the jar…and so I could dig in. ๐ You only need 1 cup for this recipe.
great, SO looking forward to trying these!!
Delicious I am amazed at how yummy and easy these are I love it

Kate: What a cool recipe! It’s unbelievable that these squares of goodness contain only 2 ingredients. I’ll have to make a great batch for my family and I. Thanks for sharing it. What a gorgeous baby…Happy Easter to you and your family!!!
Nice! I’m a fan of simplicity, and two ingredients is about as simple as you can get…
Sounds like magic! And clearly your daughter had to take matters into her own hands. I don’t think I could have kept my paws off them either!
hehe ๐ She can’t even walk, yet, but she held on to the furniture, and from one chair to the next, she made it! ๐
