Nutella Brownies




Ingredients:

1/2 Cup All-purpose flour
1/4 Teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 Cup Nutella
1/2 Cup brown sugar
1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 Cup melted unsalted butter

Cooking instructions:

Preheat the oven to 170°C (325°F) and make sure the grill is in the middle of the oven.

Line the bottom of a 8 inch square cake pan with parchment paper, letting the paper extend over two opposite sides. Butter the two other sides.

Combine the flour and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.

In another bowl, beat the eggs, hazelnut spread, brown sugar and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture, alternating with the melted butter.

Scrape the batter into the cake pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out with a few crumbs attached (not completely clean), 35 to 40 minutes.

Cool in the pan for about 2 hours. Unmould and cut into squares.

Serve warm or at room temperature.


Servings: 16 Prep.time: 20 min Cook time: 35 min


"You are probably thinking, 'Not another brownie recipe!'. But this is no ordinary brownie recipe. These are absolutely 'to die for'. As you may have noticed, they have Nutella in them!"

DIY Paper Rose to Gift Garnish




I really love the adorable Lia's Blog, the Ellinée! There are so many wonderful handmades! I love the ideas she so kindly shares with all of us. And this gift wrapping with this pretty rose charmed me so much. Here, she shares both the idea of wrapping as well as the cute tags to complement the beauty of this handcraft. If you want you can find the tags here and the tutorial rose paper in this another post here.
