Brownies are one dessert that don’t need an introduction! It’s like someone took chocolate cake and made it fudgy, chewy and gooey on the inside. My family LOVES brownies enough to go any lengths to making them. We make many variations of brownies like, Peanut Butter Fudge Brownies, Salted Caramel Brownies, Double Dark Chocolate Brownies, Peppermint Bark Brownies, and many more. This recipe for 4-ingredient Chocolate brownies is the easiest and one of the tastiest ones we make.
Brownies from Scratch with Just 4 Ingredients
This recipe is really simple to make. All you need is all-purpose flour, Nutella (Hazelnut Spread), eggs and chocolate chips. The addition of chocolate chips makes the brownies really yummy and gooey. The chips melt as the brownies cook and then you bite into pockets of melted chocolate, which adds a whole new flavor dimension. If you don’t care for gooey brownies, you can skip the chocolate chips and make this recipe with just 3-ingredients. Sometimes, we like to add a 5th ingredient to this recipe- chopped walnuts, and that takes it to another level of yumminess! The walnuts provide a nice flavor and texture contrast to the brownies. But that’s purely optional.
Guess Who Perfected This Homemade Brownie Recipe?
The credit for this easy brownie recipe goes entirely to my kids! They simply love Nutella
! So, they tweaked their favorite Chocolate Brownies recipe and substituted Nutella for the melted chocolate. They tested and re-tested this recipe a few times, trying out different combinations of flour and Nutella, and even adding cocoa powder to see if the results were tastier.
Finally, they came up with this recipe for 4-Ingredient Chocolate Brownies, which has now become a regular for game day parties in our house. My kids make a coffee-mug version of this recipe too- Brownies in a Mug– perfect for single servings.
