I love eating baked goods, but I don’t especially love making them. I consider myself to be a pretty competent cook, but I generally lack the patience and attention to detail that baking requires. Thankfully, I stumbled upon a super easy recipe for homemade brownies. I’m pretty sure it is even easier than making box mix brownies.
Mumsnet released a video tutorial for three-ingredient brownies – that’s right, just three ingredients! Simply mix together Nutella, flour, and eggs. Pour the batter into a square baking pan lined with wax paper, bake in the oven, and you’ll be left with super sweet, soft, and gooey brownies.
I know what you’re thinking – why didn’t I know about this sooner? And I completely agree. Nutella is such a genius brownie ingredient and I can’t believe I’ve never seen a brownie recipe that uses it until now. For the full video tutorial including exact ingredient measurements and step-by-step instructions, check out the video below.
The next time you are in a rush or simply do not feel like making a complicated dessert, you will not feel too guilty telling people your brownies are homemade! They look impressive and taste great, and you can whip them up in no time, saving the day! Honestly, recipes like this are a good reminder that baking does not have to be an entire event. Or require a lengthy list of unique ingredients. Instead, it can be fun, simple, and rewarding. Even when it only takes you a few minutes to arrive at a baked dessert.
I love that with just minimal effort, you can still get something that feels indulgent, comforting, and made with love. Quick, easy, reliable, and definitely sweet, this is the kind of recipe I will reach for again and again whenever I need something sweet and simple in a pinch. Or when I need to pick myself up a bit. Thanks for sharing this easy and genius recipe, Mumsnet, you have made me feel like brownie-making is plausible!
