Can I use regular chocolate eggs instead of mini eggs?

Absolutely! Regular chocolate eggs work well, just chop them into smaller pieces. You can also substitute with chocolate chips or chunks if mini eggs aren't available.

Why did my brownies turn out cakey instead of fudgy?

This usually happens from overmixing the batter or adding too much flour. Remember to measure flour correctly by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling off the top, and mix just until ingredients are combined.

Can I reduce the sugar in this recipe?

You can reduce the brown sugar by up to 2 tablespoons without significantly affecting the texture. Keep in mind that Nutella is already sweet, so these brownies will still have plenty of sweetness.

How do I know when the brownies are done baking?

The perfect brownie should have a set top that feels firm to the touch, but a toothpick inserted in the center should come out with a few moist crumbs (not wet batter). If you wait until the toothpick comes out completely clean, your brownies might be overbaked.

Instructions

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 325˚F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal and even baking.
Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Combine thoroughly and set aside.
Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a separate large bowl, beat together the Nutella, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This forms the rich base of the brownies.
Combine Batter
Alternate between adding the dry flour mixture and the melted butter into the Nutella mixture. Blend after each addition until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the chopped mini eggs to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Bake the Brownies
Pour the brownie batter into your prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a couple of moist crumbs.
Cool and Serve
Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about an hour before slicing. This step ensures they firm up and makes cutting them easier.

Notes

You can substitute mini eggs with other seasonal candy or chocolate pieces if preferred.
For a fudgier texture, slightly underbake by removing the brownies a minute or two earlier than 55 minutes.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for 5 days.
These brownies freeze well! Store in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw completely before serving.
