Ingredients and Notes
- All-Purpose Flour: I have used unbleached all-purpose flour to make these eggless Nutella Brownies and recommend using the same.
- Cocoa Powder: I used unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder, which gives the brownies a darker color and mellow taste. However, you can also use natural cocoa powder.
- Salt: I like to add salt to give a nice contrast to the sweetness.
- Butter: Use unsalted and good-quality butter for the best flavors. It adds a delicious buttery taste to the eggless, fudgy brownies. We have not tried this recipe using oil.
- Sugar: Sugar adds sweetness, structure, and moisture to the brownies. I used granulated sugar, but you can also use light brown sugar.
- Nutella: Stir the Nutella well before scooping it out of the bottle. Do not use more Nutella than the recipe suggests. Adding more Nutella will make the brownie dry and crumbly.
- Buttermilk: You can use store-bought buttermilk or make a buttermilk substitute by mixing white vinegar with the milk.
- Vanilla: It provides a sweet flavor to the brownies. Try to use pure vanilla extract if possible.
How To Make Eggless Nutella Brownies
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Grease an 8×8-inch square pan with nonstick oil spray or butter.
- Then, line it with parchment paper, hanging the parchment paper over both sides.
- Set it aside.
- Whisk flour, cocoa powder, and salt together in a medium bowl.

- Melt the butter in a saucepan or microwave and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the sugar to the melted butter and stir until well combined for about a minute.


- Now add buttermilk and whisk well to incorporate.
- If the sugar is not dissolved, microwave this mixture for a few seconds.
- Whisk well until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Rub a little mixture between your first finger and thumb to check if the sugar is completely dissolved.
- If it feels smooth without any grain, the mixture is ready.

- Add Nutella and vanilla and stir well until everything is mixed well.


- Then, add the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
- Do not overmix.

- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Using a spoon, drop dollops of Nutella over the batter.
- Using a butterknife, make swirls over the surface.


- Bake the brownies for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean.
- Every oven is different, so keep an eye on the oven after 25 minutes of baking.

- Let it cool completely in the pan and remove gently by lifting the edges of the parchment paper.
- Then, slice the Eggless Nutella Brownies into desired-sized squares.

Not To Overbake the Brownies
It is essential not to overbake the Eggless Nutella Brownies. These Brownies should be fudgy, soft, and moist with a gooey texture. Overbaking can turn them greasy, dry, and crumbly. So keep an eye on the oven after 25 minutes of baking time. Brownies are baked when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean or with some soft crumbs stuck to it.
Storing Suggestions
Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
Brownies are kept in the fridge for up to a week.
Baking Tips For Eggless Nutella Brownies
Measuring: Use a kitchen scale if you have one to measure the ingredients for the best results.
Cocoa Powder: I used Dutch-processed cocoa powder, which provided a deeper chocolatey flavor to the brownies. However, you can use natural cocoa powder if you have only that one.
Nutella: Stir the Nutella well before using it, as the oil separates on top. Also, measure the Nutella correctly, as adding more makes the brownies dry and crumbly.
Baking: Do not overbake the brownies. After 25 minutes of baking, keep an eye on them. Be sure to check the center using a toothpick for doneness; the toothpick should come out almost clean or have some soft crumbs stuck to it.
Cooling the Brownies: It is essential to let the brownies completely cool in the pan. Then, remove them carefully by lifting the edges of the parchment paper and using a sharp knife to cut them.

Just made these brownies and they are delicious! I thought they were the perfect balance between gooey and cakey. Dusted with powdered sugar, great eggless recipe.
