Nutella Brownies or Dessert Cups
You can make these dessert cups with any of your favorite cake or brownie batter. Store-bought cookie dough can also be used to make these cups. Here I have used my Nutella Brownie recipe with whole wheat flour. You can make only Brownies also with the recipe. See Notes in Recipe Card.
Nutella is chocolate hazelnut spread which is used as a spread on breads, paranthas or as dip . It can also be used in milkshakes(Nutella and Banana Milkshake) or add it your favourite cookie and cake batter. It adds a nutty sweet taste to desserts.
Any size of muffin pan will work for these, depending on the size you want.This post will has both the cups (mini as well as regular) with the eggless and eggless version.
How to bake Dessert Cups
There are three ways in which we can make Dessert Cups..Feel free to use whatever is convenient for you.
First one is transfer the batter in muffin tray or cups and bake till the baking time as per the recipe. Once baked take out the tray and when the muffins are still hot use a spoon or another muffin cup/pan and press to make indent in center. Just like the one shown in pic below.
Second way, is bake muffins , once cooled, take off some portion using a spoon carefully making a bowl like shape.
Third way is fill each muffin cup 3/4 , press the other muffin tray or cup over it and bake.
Ingredients for Nutella Brownies or Nutella Brownie Cups or Bowls
I make my own cake flour with Whole Wheat Flour and Cornstarch. Whole Wheat flour has gluten in it, that results in dense bakes as compared to the ones made with all-purpose flour/maida. Adding cornstarch to whole wheat flour makes cakes and cookies soft and gives a nice structure to bakes.
Use eggs or a mix of buttermilk and yogurt for the eggless verison.To make it vegan friendly, use any plant based yogurt and make buttermilk from any plant based milk. I not sure whether Nutella is vegan friendly or not. Check before using it or use homemade nutella spread.
For sweetner I have used coconut sugar. You can use cane sugar or brown sugar. Other ingredients are butter, vanilla extract. When making brownies with this batter you can add some finely chopped nuts like walnuts and hazelnuts in batter.
Let's see how I make these easy to bake and yumm to eat Nutella Brownie Dessert Cups/Bowls
