Ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups hazelnuts
  • 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup Nutella
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Prepare Baking Pan: Grease and flour a 9-inch square baking pan, ensuring to remove any excess flour by tapping it out.

  3. Toast Hazelnuts: Toast the hazelnuts until fragrant and golden brown, then remove them from the heat and let them cool slightly.

  4. Grind Hazelnuts: Using a food processor, pulse the hazelnuts until coarsely ground, aiming for bits around 1/8 inch in size.

  5. Melt Chocolate and Butter: Chop the bittersweet chocolate into small pieces. In a double boiler or a metal bowl set over simmering water, melt the chocolates together with the unsalted butter and Nutella. Stir occasionally until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

  6. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.

  7. Combine Sugar and Chocolate: Whisk the sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.

  8. Incorporate Eggs: Add the eggs to the chocolate mixture, whisking until the mixture becomes glossy and smooth.

  9. Fold in Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in the flour mixture and ground hazelnuts until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

  10. Bake Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the middle of the oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a tester comes out with moist crumbs adhering to it.

  11. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, cut them into 16 squares.

  12. Storage: To preserve freshness, store the brownies in an airtight container at cool room temperature, layered between sheets of wax paper, for up to 5 days.

These Gianduia Brownies are a delightful blend of flavors and textures, perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re craving a sweet treat or planning a festive gathering, these brownies are sure to impress! Enjoy the rich combination of bittersweet chocolate and toasted hazelnuts in every decadent bite.
