Ever had a craving for rich, fudgy brownies that you just can’t shake? These 3 Ingredient Brownies are so simple to whip up, they give instant gratification a whole new meaning! No fancy ingredients, no kitchen chaos—just pure chocolate goodness. Seriously, who wouldn’t want a dessert that’s both delicious and quick to make? 🙌

Why Make This Recipe

You’ll love these brownies for so many reasons! First up, easy cleanup means more time enjoying your treat and less time scrubbing dishes like a madman. Quite the win, right? Plus, they’re family-friendly—every bite feels like a hug from your childhood. And let’s be honest, who wouldn’t prefer eating brownies made with just three ingredients over a long, tedious list?

Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff—just these basics!

• 1 1/2 cups Nutella chocolate hazelnut spread
• 3 eggs (at room temperature)
• 1 cup finely ground blanched almond flour (or finely ground sifted oat flour, equal amount by weight)

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F. Grease and line an 8-inch or 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick aluminum foil or parchment paper—if you’re feeling rebellious, just grease regular aluminum foil well with cooking oil spray.

2. In a large, heat-safe bowl, place the Nutella. Warm it in the microwave or over a simmering pot of water until it thins out a bit. This makes it easier to beat.

3. Add the eggs to the warmed Nutella and, using a handheld mixer, beat until smooth and fluffy. Go ahead, pump that handheld mixer up and down a few times to get some air in there.

4. Add in the almond flour and beat again until it’s well combined. The mixture will be thick and sticky—almost like a chocolate cloud!

5. Transfer the brownie batter to your prepared baking pan. With a small offset spatula, spread it into an even layer. Give the bottom of the pan a few smacks on the counter to break any large air bubbles.

6. Place your pan in the center of the preheated oven and bake for about 35 minutes for an 8-inch pan or 30 minutes for a 9-inch pan. They’re done when the center feels firm to the touch.

7. Once baked, remove from the oven and cool to room temperature in the pan. For easier slicing, chill in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.

8. Lift the brownies out of the pan and slice into 9 equal squares with a sharp knife.

9. Store any extra brownies in a sealed container (they should be good in the fridge or freezer).

How to Serve 3 Ingredient Brownies Recipe

How to Store 3 Ingredient Brownies Recipe

Tips to Make 3 Ingredient Brownies Recipe

1. Use room temperature eggs for a smoother batter. Not a fan of counter-warming? Just place the eggs in warm water for a few minutes.
2. If you want a lighter texture, beat the eggs longer to incorporate more air. It’s like giving them a workout!
3. Try using a different nut flour if you’re all out of almond flour—hazelnut flour or even coconut flour can work!
4. For a richer taste, add a splash of vanilla extract. Why not, right? 🍫
5. Experiment by adding in chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey kick!

Variation

Feeling adventurous? You can swap out Nutella for any chocolate spread if you want different flavors. Want to make these brownies vegan? Substitute the eggs with a flaxseed mixture (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes). You’ll still get that fudgy delight and keep it plant-based!

FAQs

1. Can I use regular all-purpose flour?
Absolutely, but you might lose the brownie’s chewy texture. Almond flour gives it a great gluten-free boost!

2. How long do these brownies last?
If stored properly, they’ll last up to a week in the fridge or up to three months in the freezer. Just make sure they’re sealed tight!

3. Can I make these brownies in advance?
For sure! These brownies are great for meal prep. Make them ahead of time and keep them in the fridge for an easy dessert fix whenever you need one!
