Nutella Brownie Bites
I have had so much go on this week it’s been crazy! (I know I probably say that every week…but it’s true!)
At the beginning of the week, our car that hasn’t been working for the past 3 years magically started working again. I had a feeling it was just a fluke…but I was going to enjoy having a car for as long as it would last! On Tuesday I had to be at school early so I drove the car. Everything worked out great which was pretty awesome. I rode the bus on Wednesday and took the car on Thursday, since I had to stay after school for a bit. As I was leaving the school parking lot, I felt like the car just wasn’t running quite right. I thought I was just being paranoid. But soon the car starting vibrating, making some unpleasant noises, and the check engine light was flashing like crazy. The route home has a ton of hills and I wasn’t sure I was going to make it up some of them! I had the gas pedal pressed all the way to the floor and was going 15 mph….I felt bad for the long line of cars behind me. I kept praying that I would just make it home and thankfully I did! But that’s the end of us having a second car for the moment…oh well.
Friday was a very busy day. I got home from school and immediately left to go to my piano lesson. I came home and then turned around and left for my friend’s Halloween party! I was going to try to dress up but I didn’t have time to put a costume together. Instead, I put on my favorite ugly Christmas sweater, a Santa hat, and snowflake earring and went as a Christmas enthusiast…not much of a costume ;) Some other people had amazing costumes, though. My friend, Jesse, was Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas. She had ordered the dress and had her whole face painted green with stitches all over it. She also had a bright red wig made of yarn..pretty spectacular! Melanie had sewed a Christmas elf costume which was really cute…I totally want to steal it ;) and her boyfriend, Josh, was a penguin. My friend Kaitlyn was someone from The Legend of Sleepy Hollow…I haven’t watched the movie so I’m not sure, but her outfit was great. She had a fancy dress on with a cape that had roses on it. She had also powdered her face to make herself paler. Oh and let’s not forget Trevor! He was apparently a viking but I though he looked more like a yak. Just saying.
We had a ton of fun. We played catchphrase and watched the movie The Others. I’d never seen it before but I thought it was awesome! I don’t like scary movies but this one wasn’t really scary, just suspenseful (especially with the freaky music in the background). But I would definitely recommend this movie. After that we watched Tron (yes I know..random) for a while before we had to go. It was a really great night!
In my last post I shared these Nutella Swirl Brownie Bites and promised a second recipe! Here it is! These are Nutella brownies with only three ingredients- Nutella, egg, and flour. I wasn’t apprehensive if they’d turn out with such few ingredients but they magically did :) I took these along with the other brownie bites to my friend’s Halloween party and everyone loved them.
The Nutella Swirl Brownies are very fudgy while these brownies are more cake-like with a gooey center. They’re both very good. Most people liked the Nutella Swirl Brownies more than these, but it just depends on what kind of brownies you like! You can’t go wrong with making either of them. I hope you have a wonderful Halloween weekend!
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a mini muffin pan with cupcake liners.
- Put the Nutella and eggs in a medium bowl and whisk until smooth and well blended. Add the flour and whisk until blended.
- Use an ice cream scoop to put the batter into the muffin tins.
- Bake for 11-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with some gooey crumbs.

Hello,
I saw this recipe yesterday and was so excited to try it.
But I wasn’t quite happy with the result.
Maybe the conversion from US measuring to European went bad.
But here’s what I made of it.

hey! sorry it didn’t turn out…it’s always so frustrating when that happens! My batter was definitely not like dough. The nutella acts more like a liquid when mixed with the egg and then you simply stir in the flour (I don’t know about the conversions…) Again, sorry it didn’t work out!

that’s ok.
I changed the recipe again to make it richer.
Baking time is also important.

Well good! And you may be interested in trying the other version of nutella brownie bites I have on this site. They’re super easy because you can make whatever brownie base you want and then just swirl in nutella! Happy baking :)

Hey girl! Thanks for taking the time to comment on my blog. I really appreciate it, and I’m also glad you did because now I found your blog! I’ve been stalking your recipes for like the last hour or so. They all look so good! I will definitely be making these for my boyfriend sometime in the future because he is a Nutella addict.

Hey Amilia! I love your blog! I was just looking through your posts and found this! I have almost the exact same recipe on my blog (http://butterbaking.wordpress.com/2012/01/25/easy-nutella-brownie-cups/) but it uses 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp flour instead of 1 cup + 2 tbsp. Try it! They bake up SUPER gooey! More like your Nutella swirl brownies texture :-)

Hey Natasha! Thank you for the suggestion. I will definitely try that the next time I make them :)
