Nutella in the brownie batter? And swirled on top?!

Adapted from Sally’s Baking Addiction

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups Nutella, divided
• 3/4 cups flour
• 3/4 cups chocolate chips (optional)
• Salt to sprinkle on top (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F

1. Cream the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer.
2. Add the eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
3. Add 1 cup of nutella and mix.
4. Add flour and mix until just combined.
5. Stir in chocolate chips, if using.
6. Pour the batter into a greased 9″ square baking pan.
7. Drop spoonfuls of the remaining 1/4 cup of Nutella on top. Swirl into the batter with a knife.
8. Sprinkle the top with salt.
   
9. Bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes.
10. Allow to cool completely before slicing for perfect squares! If you don’t wait and slice while warm, they’ll crumble a bit, but, in my opinion warm brownies > perfect looking brownies. If desired, sprinkle with more salt!
