Nutella Peanut Butter Brownies

Chewy, peanut buttery goodness--these brownies feature a subtle swirl of hazelnut spread and extra peanut butter chips on top for good measure. They are a spin off of our popular, original Best Peanut Butter Brownie recipe.

Equipment

  • brownie pan- 9 x 13

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter chips
  • 3/4 cup Nutella warmed for 20 seconds to make spreading easier.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Line a 9x 13 brownie pan with parchment paper so you can easily lift your brownies right out once they are cooled. (This is optional, but makes removing the brownies and cleaning way easier!)
  • In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the peanut butter, salt, melted butter, white sugar and brown sugar together.
  • Slowly add the eggs, and vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.
  • Slowly add the flour and baking powder mix to the peanut butter mixture and slowly mix or fold to combine all ingredients. DO NOT OVER MIX! Over mixing will make fluffy cake-like brownies. 
  • Smooth the peanut butter batter into the 9″x 13" pan, and then spread the hazelnut spread over it. Sprinkle chips on it evenly and bake for 25 minutes. The brownies will feel soft or “raw” but will harden up a they cool. They will have a slightly wet look in the middle, but should be cooked through. Use a toothpick to test doneness.
  • Allow brownies to cool for 10 minutes before cutting.

Notes

Nutritional values may vary and are meant to be a guide.
If using a 9" x 9" pan you will need to cook them for 5-10 minutes more.
Brownies can be frozen once baked and cooled. They stay good for up to 30 days. 
You can omit the hazelnut spread or peanut butter chips.
