Best ever Nutella Brownies! These fudgy Nutella Brownies are made with real chocolate and have big swirls of gooey Nutella baked right into the batter.
Best ever fudgy Nutella Swirl Chocolate Brownies ❤️
These brownies have a seriously over-the-top fudge factor, with super chewy edges and pockets of pure Nutella studded throughout each one. Can you even? We also use real dark chocolate AND Nutella in the batter so the depth of chocolate flavour is REAL my friends.
Thick, fudgy, chewy and Nutella-ery, what more could you want?
Brownies are my go-to whenever we have friends over for dinner because I am yet to met someone who doesn’t love a good brownie. Especially one served with whipped cream (a thousand times yes).
My go-to brownies are my Peanut Butter and Jelly Swirl Brownies (always a crowd pleaser) and my Snickers Chocolate Brownies (love a little surprise in my brownies), however, these Nutella Swirl Brownies have gone straight to the top of the list.
They are seriously good and maybe the BEST ways to use up that jar of Nutella sitting in your cupboard.
The best part? You don’t even need to get out an electric mixer for this recipe. Just grab a bowl and spoon and away you go!
I’m so glad I still have two brownies sitting on my bench because otherwise writing this post would be torture. Must eat one STAT. If you are looking for an easy dessert solution that with satisfy all your chocolate cravings, give these epic Nutella Brownies a go.
TIPS FOR MAKING PERFECT NUTELLA BROWNIES
- You don’t need an electric mixer to make this recipe – just a bowl and spoon.
- Start by melting together the butter and dark chocolate. I like to use the microwave because it’s quick and easy. Stir until smooth. Then add 1/2 cup of Nutella (SO GOOD).
- Next comes the sugars and vanilla, and then the eggs, just one at a time. Finally the flour – I recommend weighing the flour using a kitchen scale so you don’t accidentally add too much.
- Once you transfer the mixture to your prepared baking tip, you can dollop the rest of the Nutella all over the top. Use a butter knife to swirl the Nutella into the brownie batter. Bake until the brownie no longer wobbles in the middle.
- Leave the brownie to cool completely before slicing. My trick? Leave your brownie to cool for about 15 minutes before transferring to the fridge to cool completely. Fridge brownies are the best – they go super fudgy and it makes it much easier to cut them.

Nutella Brownies
Chocolate brownies with gooey swirls of Nutella.
Ingredients
- 115 grams (1/2 cup or 1 stick) unsalted butter
- 150 grams (1 cup) good quality dark chocolate, broken into pieces
- 300 grams (1 cup) Nutella
- 50 grams (1/4 cup) caster sugar or granulated sugar
- 90 grams (1/2 cup) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 85 grams (2/3 cup) plain flour or all purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Grease and line an 8-inch square pan with baking or parchment paper, ensuring two sides of the paper overhang.
- Place butter and dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl and place in the microwave. Heat, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Add 1/2 cup of Nutella (set the other 1/2 cup aside) and stir together.
- Next, add sugars and vanilla to the chocolate mixture and stir. Add eggs, one at a time, stirring in between. Finally, add the flour and salt and stir until the brownie mixture is smooth.
- Pour batter into the prepared tin. Then dollop the other 1/2 cup of Nutella all over the top and use a butter knife to swirl it into the brownie batter.
- Bake the brownie for about 35 minutes or until cooked through. It should have a nice cracked top and no longer wobble in the middle. Leave to cool completely before serving. Store brownies in the fridge to make them extra fudgy.

I hope you enjoy it!!
Hannah says
Hi Jess! I have made these so many times already and they are delicious! Sometimes they sink in the middle once I have taken them out of the oven, do you know why this happens?
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Hannah. So glad you enjoyed them! They really shouldn’t sink much as there’s no raising agent in the batter. If you’ve noticed they sometimes sink or don’t at other times, it might come down to the method. Perhaps over mixing and adding too much air in the batter could be the culprit? This will cause them to rise and then deflate when they come out of the oven. In saying that, a small dip in the middle is no cause for concern as the outside will cook faster than the centre.
Hannah says
I made them today again and took extra care to not over mix and they came out perfect! Thank you for replying!
Jessica Holmes says
Yay! So happy to hear that!
Emma Kendrick says

Jane says
I made these brownies for my family and WOW are they beyond great!!!! They are super moist and the Nutella swirls work beautifully with the brownie. I used a bowl and spatula- careful not to over stir and over bake. If you want a super moist and very fudgy brownie, you won’t be disappointed!!!! Thx Jessica – your recipes never fail!!
Jessica Holmes says
Love hearing that Jane! Thank you so much for the lovely review!
Hannah says
Hi! These look so delicious and I can’t wait to try them! Must the eggs be room temperature or cold? It isn’t specified and the reason I’m asking is because in your biscoff brownies they must be cold so I was wandering if it’s the same for this recipe?
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Hannah, I usually do cold as there’s no need to wait for them to come to room temperature. But either will be ok!
Valentina says
Hii! I was wondering if i could use half of the nutella 🙂 instead of 300gr use 150gr
Jessica Holmes says
Yes I think that would be fine!
Danielle says
Love this recipe and having so much fun looking through others to try next from this fab blog thanks so much!!
Recipe is amazing, I added some chopped hazelnuts too and they are delicious 😋
Jessica Holmes says
So happy to hear that Danielle! Love the idea of adding nuts too.
Khen says
Hi …was wondering what if I want to make half batch of the above recipe …everything else is fine except eggs …it’s written 3 …how do I make half of that ..or shall I use 2 instead ….can’t wait to try these lovely brownies😀
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Khen, I tested this recipe as is so I can’t really comment on a smaller quantity unless I’ve tried it myself. A good alternative would be making it as written and freezing half for another time.
Sandy Troehler says
How well would these freeze for a few days? My daughter’s big wedding has been Covid19 delayed until next spring. We are having a very (19) small ceremony in two weeks. It’s serendipity because they got engaged last November at Uluru.
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Sandy, brownies tend to freeze quite well. That’s very exciting about your daughter’s wedding!
Parishree says
Hey! Is there eggless option available?
Jessica Holmes says
Hi, sorry I haven’t tested this recipe without eggs.
Hannah Gray says
Made this for my boyfriend’s birthday, but swirled some raspberry jam on top with the Nutella. It worked so well! So fudgy and tasty
Jessica Holmes says
Oh love that idea Hannah!
Aqilah says
Hi! Wondering if it is okay if I put 200grams of Nutella and 100grams of peanut butter? Thanks!
Jessica Holmes says
Hi, yes you could if you would prefer.
Khudaija says
Hey!
I need to make about 4 dozen brownies for a party.
Can I keep the brownie batter in the baking pan refrigerated for 1 day? Can I also add Nutella Swirls on top of it before refrigeration?
Jessica Holmes says
Hi, I recommend baking the brownie batter straight away. You can keep them in the fridge once baked though!
