3 Ingredient Nutella Brownie Bites

Those of you 'pinteresters' probably have seen this recipe, 3 ingredient Nutella brownies. Only 3 ingredients? I was skeptical, but I was wanting something sweet and chocolately and I did not want to break out the mixer. The directions said measure and mix. So, I broke out my bulk size Nutella jar and went to work. 12 minutes later these babies came out of my oven, and boy-oh-boy, are they good. They are dense, fudgey, and just sweet enough. Of course I had to put some Salted Caramel Sauce on them, you know, just because. I also topped mine off with some sliced almonds since I didn't have hazelnuts. These are super easy to make and even easier going down.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups Nutella chocolate spread
2 eggs
10 TBS flour
slivered almonds for topping (optional)

Directions:

-Preheat oven to 350F. Line a cupcake pan with 12 liners.

-Place the Nutella in a bowl and add the eggs. Mix with a spatula until combined. Add the flour and mix again until fully incorporated (it will be dough like). Evenly divide between the 12 cupcake liners and top with slivered almonds if you'd like. Place into oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, the centers should be a little soft. Remove from pan and cool on cooling rack.

Optional: Salted Caramel Sauce:

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 cup heavy cream
2 TBS salted butter
3/4 tsp sea salt

-Add the sugar and water to a small sauce pot, gently stir to combine. Cook over medium heat until the water evaporates and the sugar becomes a golden amber color. **DO NOT stir the sugar mixture once you start to cook it, this will cause crystallization. If the caramel needs to be stirred, gently swirl the pot.** Once the sugar is a golden amber color, add the butter and stir with a wooden spoon, then add the heavy cream and stir again. If the caramel seizes don't worry. Continue to stir until the caramel melts into the heavy cream, 3-5 minutes, then add the salt. Once you have a uniform caramel sauce cook for another 2 minutes and then remove from heat and cool completely.
