Life is so much more beautiful after digging in to a mouthful of Nutella. The chocolate-hazelnut spread is sheer ecstasy as long as you are not counting the calories. So when a recipe (source: Savory Sweet Life) has just 4 ingredients, one of which is the delightful spread and the other 3 items are basic pantry essentials, I don’t wait for a reason to bake – no excuse in the name of a birthday or an anniversary or a mother’s day and it’s ilk 
The 4 Ingredient Nutella Bliss
- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 4
Ingredients
Ingredients :-
- Nutella Spread – 1/2 cup (approx 150 to 160 grams)
- Egg – 1 large
- All Purpose Flour – 4 to 5 tbsp
- Peanuts – as required (for sprinkling) {Hazelnuts, if you have}
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 175 C / 350 F. Grease and line the muffin pan/cupcake tins and set aside.
- In a bowl, tip in the spread and dunk the egg. Whisk until smooth and shiny batter. Add the flour and mix again till well blended.
- Spoon the batter to the prepared tin/pan and sprinkle the chopped nuts.
- Bake for 10 – 12 minutes, until a toothpick comes wet and gooey.
Notes
It’s best to check the bake with a pick after a good 9 minutes if you want the brownies to have a gooey inner. Leave it for a 2 to 3 minutes more the brownies may miss the gooey twinge. Whatever may be the case you are in for a tasty treat !
I served it with some butter-scotch ice-cream and the pairing was indeed a made-in-heaven affair.
The number of serves depends upon the size of tin used
