Equipment

  • 9 * 9 Square pan

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup butter (room temperature)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ⅓ cup chopped hazelnuts
  • 3-4 tbsp Nutella (approximate)

Instructions

  • Grease a 9*9 or 8*8 pan and preheat the oven to 350F
  • Mix the butter and sugar on medium speed till well combined, mixture will be crumbly.
  • Add the eggs one by one, beating well after each addition on medium high speed. Batter will become far creamier and fluffier.
  • Now add the dry ingredients to the bowl and put the mixer on low mixing JUST until the flour is 70% combined i.e. some white streaks are ok.
  • Use a spatula to fold in ⅔ of the hazelnuts, most of the floury streaks should disappear
  • Press the dough into the pan. Tip: a little plastic wrap makes this easier, simply use the wrap to press the dough down.
  • Drop the nutella by small spoonfuls randomly over the dough and then use a skewer or toothpick to swirl it through.
  • Scatter the remaining hazelnuts over top and bake for 23-28 minutes or until the edges are puffy and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out only slightly moist.
  • Cool, cut, enjoy!

Notes

Note: if you do not have hazelnuts available you can absolutely skip them or add in chopped peanuts or walnuts instead.
