These Flourless Chocolate Hazelnut Brownies are rich, fudgy, and packed with the nutty flavor of hazelnuts combined with intense dark chocolate. Naturally gluten-free due to the absence of flour, these decadent brownies feature a crunchy hazelnut topping and a luscious melted chocolate drizzle, perfect for satisfying any chocolate craving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups hazelnut meal (hazelnuts ground into a flour in the food processor)
  • 1/4 cup coarsely chopped hazelnuts
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into chunks
  • 6 ounces dark chocolate, chopped (77% cacao recommended)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 ounces dark chocolate, melted (77% cacao recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃). Line an 8×8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper or foil, allowing some overhang for easy removal of the brownies after baking. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the hazelnut meal, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, and espresso powder until evenly blended.
  3. Place the butter and chopped dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly between each session, until completely melted and smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined and slightly thickened. Incorporate the cooled butter and chocolate mixture, whisking until smooth and glossy.
  5. Gently fold the hazelnut meal mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and evenly sprinkle the coarsely chopped hazelnuts over the top.
  6. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes. The brownies are done when the edges are firm but the center is still slightly loose and fudgy.
  7. Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan, ideally overnight. Once cooled, drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the top. Serve and enjoy!
