So I have found new love.
These delicious, gooey, chocolate-y, Nutella brownie cups. They have only 3 main ingredients. THREE!!!
Nutella, eggs and flour. That’s it. Those three ingredients, together, make Nutella and brownie heaven.
This recipe has become my new go-to, late-night, chocolate, gooey, baked good craving fixer.
They take absolutely no time to make and the fact that such minimal effort and ingredients can result in such deliciousness blows my mind.
These are chewy, and they stay chewy the next day (I’m not sure how they are after that though, because these were all gone within 24 hours). They have a gooey brownie center. They taste like Nutella. And chocolate. And they have a cracked brownie top. And they are EASY.
Oh, yum.
I have to go and make some more. Now.
EASY NUTELLA BROWNIE CUPS
Adapted from Honey What’s Cooking?, original recipe by Abby Dodge.
1 cup Nutella (280g, 10 oz)
2 eggs
10 tbsp plain flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Preheat the oven to 180 C and line a 12 hole muffin pan with cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, mix together the Nutella, eggs, flour and salt until combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin holes. If using, sprinkle each brownie cup with a few chocolate chips.
Bake for 12 minutes. Makes 12 Nutella brownie cups.
Mind. Just. Blown. Thanks for sharing!
Haha I’m glad I’m not the only one!
I’ve made these before and yes, they are amazing!
Aren’t they? Like 15 minutes and you have little cups of gooey deliciousness!
these look fantastic!
Thanks, they are!
Wow these look great and easy!!
Oh they are!
Do you think peanut butter instead of Nutella would work? Nothing against Nutella I just don’t have any on hand and I want those right now.
Haha! You know what, I’m not sure – I think Nutella is a little runnier than peanut butter. Why not try them but reduce the flour by a tablespoon or two. Let me know how they turn out!!
I make these all the time, they are a huge hit and at only 3 ingredients cheap and fast.
I know I love them!
I have all the ingredients for these in my house right now and would love to make it…but no cupcake liners. Will they work in a buttered or oil-sprayed non-stick cupcake pan?
Hey! They’re pretty soft so they might be hard to get out? Why not line your cupcake tin with little squares of grease proof or baking paper?
I am a Nutella addict! This is too easy…three ingredients?? These look amazing. Thanks for the cool recipe!
Hey, I’m addicted to it too, and the brownies have a true Nutella flavour so I LOVE them! You’re welcome!
Hi, THanks so much for linking to me. These look wonderful, I noticed you switched it up a bit, it’s always fun to try new ideas.
Hey, you’re welcome! Thanks for the great recipe, it’s a new favourite and I’ve been making it all the time! I didn’t like the idea of cinnamon in it though, they turned out great with just a little salt!
Hi Natasha – Yeah, i didn’t like the idea of cinnamon either, so I replaced it with vanilla extract. you won’t believe this… my name was suppose to be Natasha, and on the way to sign my name, my dad forgot and named me something else with an “N”. Natasha sounds so much hotter.
Haha I can’t believe that your dad FORGOT what your name was supposed to be! That’s so funny! SO what did he call you in the end?
Omigosh fantastic!! Thanks so much for sharing this!
Hey Kat, no problem! It’s great huh? Make them!
how big is a ” cup”?
like.. the cup i might use to make porridge? (a little traditional teacup), or a mug that i might have hot chocolate in..?
oh, also: try hot chocolate with a little bit of nutella stirred in – it makes it so much chocolatier.
A “cup” is a form of baking measurement, but it holds 250ml of liquid. That is the standard size of most mugs and glasses. So a glass, or standard mug of Nutella would be fine here. Also, 1 cup of Nutella weighs 280 grams, or 10 ounces, if that helps.
And thanks for the tip! I will definitely try it next time I make hot chocolate!
I made the nutella cupcake brownie and here are my thoughts:
1. HOLY mother of chocolate, they were incredible tasting AND incredibly easy to make. I swear I felt like a little 6 year old again basking in the warmth of Italy as I took my first bite. Simple delicious outcome. I’m letting them cool town in a plate right now for my Super Bowl party, my family is going to love it.
2. I cut the recipe in half. I only have one cupcake tin, and I wanted to see what it would taste like but it worked out great! I would love to try these with Italian Nutella someday. Here’s something, I actually used King Arthur Whole Wheat flour and found that they taste so authentic to my own taste.
3. Took about 14 minutes for mine to cook, recipe was easy enough to stir in the measuring cup believe it or not cause I cut the recipe in half. I double lined the bottom of my cupcake tin with two cupcake molds and the brownies still had a lot of oil on the bottom. I’m not complaining though!
Thank you so much for this awesome recipe, can’t wait to see what it taste like tomorrow!
Hey James!
I’m happy to hear you like them!
They are very chocolatey and rich! I have made them about 10 times since this post, with different variations, so stay tuned!
I usually bake mine only 10 minutes, but I like REALLY underbaked centers
As for you cutting the recipe in half, that’s funny because the original recipe was only half, but I decided it didn’t make enough nutella goodness so I doubled it!
Oh, and they are great the next day. And the next day and the next.
I hope your family like them and that you enjoy your superbowl party!
baking these in the oven right now and can’t wait to taste them! for future, do you think this recipe would work if you put it in a square pan and baked as brownies instead of in the cupcake trays?
Hey Tristan, how do you like them? I’m not sure it would work, I think I read that the trick with these is that they are baked small. You could always give it a try and let me know how you go, but you might end up with way overcooked edges and a raw center!
Getting ready to make a batch now….the tip of weight on the cup is pure genius(not that I’d ever mind licking the nutella of my fingers after spooning into my measuring cup!)~thanks so much for posting. I found you thru Pinterest~I’m so happy to find others who get giddy at the mere thought of Nutella and are crafty and generous to give me other way to enjoy it
Hey Beth, I’m glad to hear you like them and are making them
The weight measurement helps me not dirty an extra measuring cup!
I’ve made a whole lot of variations on these ill be posting soon, so stay tuned!

Hi! I was wondering…how many minutes would you suggest for cooking time if I used mini-muffin trays?
Hi Patty! I’d start with 4-5 minutes and see how you go from there; you want the edges to be set and the center slightly underdone. But you won’t get the deliciously gooey middle with mini ones (and you don’t want to miss out on all that goodness!), so I would stick with the larger ones if you can
Catn wait to make these!! Only have a mini muffin tray so hoping they work out. Also thinking of sprinkling them with choc chips and toasted hazelnuts.
So excited
I sprinkled with choc chips and I loved it. The hazelnuts might add nice flavour! Careful not to overbake

I totally love the idea of this recipe!
I was just wondering, are these just the standard size cupcake cups, or are they mini? I can’t tell by the picture.
Thanks for sharing
Hi Nicole! They’re standard size cupcake liners
And these are so delicious, I’m about to make more right now!

Thanks for this recipe- made these yesterday! I took them out at 12 minutes and thought they needed a little more time, ended up leaving them in too long and so they didn’t have a nice center like yours did. But still addictive and it was soo good spooning out the runny nutella and mixing it in the bowl
Haha Gina I’m glad you liked the batter! Yeah you have to just trust the baking time, they’re no good overbaked! I only leave mine for 10 minutes now because I like a gooey-er center. Try them again!
