Ingredients
Brownie Batter
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
Nutella Swirl
- ⅓ to ½ cup Nutella (slightly warmed for easier swirling)

Instructions
1. Preheat and Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
2. Make the Brownie Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugar until smooth.
Add eggs and vanilla, whisking until glossy.
Stir in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder until just combined.
Do not overmix.
3. Add Nutella
Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Drop spoonfuls of Nutella evenly across the surface .
Using a knife or toothpick, gently swirl Nutella into the batter to create a marbled look(for thinner ribbons use piping bag) .
4. Bake
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is just set and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let brownies cool completely before slicing.
Tips for Perfect Nutella Swirls
- Warm Nutella for 10–15 seconds so it swirls easily
