Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups Nutella (1 13-ounce container) 
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup flour

Here's how to make it:

1. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper, allowing ends of foil to extend over two sides of the pan. Coat the foil lightly with vegetable spray.
2. Put all three ingredients in a bowl. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, combine the mixture, scraping the bowl constantly, until the brownie batter is smooth and all the flour has been absorbed. Batter will be very thick. (Use gluten-free flour if you want these brownies to be gluten-free.)
3. Use a spatula or a large mixing spoon to scoop dollops of batter from the mixing bowl into the pan. Spread the batter evenly.
4. Bake 20 to 25 minutes in a preheated 350-degree F oven until brownies are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Do not over bake. Remove brownies from the oven and allow the pan to cool completely on a wire cooling rack.
5. Grasp ends of aluminum foil and lift the brownies from the pan. Peel away foil. Cut brownies into squares. Drizzle brownies with additional Nutella, if desired. Store brownies in an airtight container.
