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!

Decided to try this recipe but I cut it in half and am cooking it in the microwave. Lol guess I never got out of the college girl mindset. 3 minutes and 20 seconds on high in my microwave and it comes out more like a cake than brownies. Still nummy though
Hi Rebecca!!
That’s GENIUS!! I literally want to go and try your microwave-version right now! Thanks for the idea!! :-))
Just did these in my cast iron and used caramelized brown sugar and bananas for the topping. Holy bananas, I don’t even like brownies and this is delcious!
Oh Good!! I’m so happy to hear that you are enjoying them!!
So I’m not the only one that doesn’t like classic brownies?!? YES! ๐
amazing looking and ON MY LIST
We don’t have large eggs here so if I had to use normal sized eggs, how many would that be ?
Hi Scarlet!
A large egg is about 56 grams. For this recipe you will need 224 grams. Do you have a kitchen scale? If you do, set a bowl over the scale, turn it on, and break eggs into the bowl until you have enough. Does this help? Let me know!
You’re much better off putting whole eggs in the bowl, weighing it, and adjusting the amount of Nutella. Trying to split eggs does not sound like fun.
TIP: Don’t just put the jar of Nutella in the microwave. It WILL catch on fire
Great tip! I’ll put that in the notes. Thanks, Patrick! ๐
You can microwave stuff like Nutella in a jar, just do it at a low power level, never on high.
hey ๐ these brownies look AMAZING!! but I’ve one or two questions… firstly the oven temp is that 350 degrees celsius??? and are these brownies moist or dry when cooked?
Hi Emma! No, 350 fahrenheit! ๐ That is about 180 celsius.
They are very moist, almost fudgy, but they are not very sweet. If you want to sweeten them, add powdered sugar when they’re finished.
Believe it or not, I had planned to search for some nutella recipes today, and ‘just happened’ to see this one before I began my search. PERFECT! I just took them out of the oven and can’t wait to dive in. I topped ours with nuts….oh YUUUM! Thanks so much for sharing.
YAY! I’m so happy you enjoyed them!! I love these brownies – so simple, so quick, and SO good! ๐
How is it possible to get crumbs from just nutella and eggs? Life is such a mystery, Love the brownies.
crumbs come from the hazelnut butter within the Nutella
Can you use egg substitute or does it have to be normal eggs?
Hi Louann!! I honestly don’t know. I have never tried that. If you decide to go ahead and see how it goes, please let me know!
Hi! I just made it! I sub 4 eggs with a cup of applesauce and 1/4 tsp of baking powder. It works wonderful and off to make my second batch for my son’s daycare ๐
Oh wow, that’s great! This is good to know! Thank you, Nelly!!
Just posted this on my Facebook page after seeing your 2-Ingredient Nutella Brownies on Pinterest.
“Seriously?!? Thinking of making homemade Nutella 1st (to avoid the store-bought product’s vegetable oil, milk & soy), & then using it in these brownies. The end-result could be a gluten & dairy-free Thanksgiving dessert … served warm, topped with fresh berries & perhaps drizzled with some more homemade Nutella. YUM!
P.S. Thanks Kate @ https://diethood.com/!”
Now that would be totally homemade and literally “from scratch”! ๐ Thanks SO much for sharing on Facebook. I really, really appreciate it!! Have a great night!
