nutella-swirled brown butter and sea salt brownies

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 4 teaspoon water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • cup flour
  • ½ cup Nutella
  • sea salt for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Line 9x13" baking dish with foil, then spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • In medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stirring constantly, cook until butter turns amber (about 5-7 minutes). Keep a close eye on it, as it will burn quickly.
  • In large bowl, combine brown butter, sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, water, and salt. Let cool for about 5 minutes.
  • Add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture, whisking constantly as you add them, and beat until mixture is smooth.
  • Stir in flour.
  • Pour in prepared pan.
  • Spoon Nutella into a plastic baggie, then microwave for 20 seconds. Snip the corner off one side of the baggie, then squeeze out into rows the short way of the baking dish.
  • Then, using a knife, run perpendicular to the rows, making a swirl.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs attached.
  • Sprinkle with sea salt.
  • Cool in pan, then cut into squares and enjoy!
