Nutella Brownie Bites

nutella bites main

This weekend was BF’s brother’s birthday. And if there’s one thing I know about him, it’s that he loves nutella. In a way that may even rival my love of peanut butter.

Unfortunately, we’ve been training new-hires at work the past week, so I haven’t had a lot of spare time or energy to exert on projects, and since I am not personally in love with nutella, I had no go-to recipe for him. So I found a recipe that wouldn’t require going to the store, but that would still be nutella-y enough for him: brownies.

This particular recipe had just 3 simple ingredients: nutella, eggs, and flour. Since I’m never one to leave a recipe as-is, I added vanilla extract and mini chocolate chips, just for good measure. I really wanted to make a nutella-ganache frosting for these, but due to a traffic accident on my way home from work on Friday, I got home with just enough time to get changed and head to the restaurant for his birthday dinner. And to gift-wrap his treats, of course.

This is even easier than my usual blondie recipe- It took maybe 30 min from start to finish (including baking). I wasn’t blown away by these but, as I stated, I’m not a big nutella person. Given the simplicity of the recipe, though, you can’t really complain. Plus it only makes about 12 – 15 of the little guys, which means I don’t have a whole bunch of extras laying around tempting me to eat them…

If you’re a fan of nutella, and in a hurry for a chocolatey treat, go for it! I certainly haven’t heard any complaints from him.
