These easy brownies are fudgy, chewy and have a crinkle top. They are just 2 ingredients and don’t require any flour! They taste just like traditional brownies but only take about 15 minutes to prepare.
These brownies are a new favorite in our house. They are fudgy, a little chewy, and they even a delicate crinkle crust on top. Even though these brownies don’t contain any flour, you can’t tell! They taste just like regular brownies and have a crumb like regular brownies.
Ingredients
- Eggs
- Chocolate Spread (like Nutella, but other spreads work as well)
Eggs: I don’t have a substitute for eggs for this recipe. The eggs are used to create the brownie structure. If you want an eggless brownie recipe, I have a 3 Ingredient Nutella Brownies recipe that doesn’t require eggs.
Chocolate spread: I used Nutella for this recipe but other chocolate spreads will also work. Choose a spread that is fairly sweet because there is no other sweetener in this recipe. The spread should have a consistency/texture similar to peanut butter. I don’t recommend using a sugar-free spread. The ones I’ve tried in the past are a little too dry and not sweet enough. Don’t have any chocolate spread? I also have an easy 2 Ingredient Fudgy Banana Brownies recipe that uses chocolate chips.
How to Make 2 Ingredient Brownies
These brownies take only about 15 minutes to prepare. The key to these brownies is whipping the eggs. The eggs are whipped at high speed in a mixer for about 8 minutes. This will make the eggs very light and thick, creating the structure for the brownies.
The eggs are beaten until they are at least triple the volume. The egg mixture will be very thick and very pale yellow. When you lift your beaters, the drippings of egg batter should stay on top for several seconds before sinking back down.
The egg mixture is then gently folded into the chocolate spread. You do want to be careful that you are just folding it in because you don’t want to deflate your egg mixture too much.
This recipe was inspired by my 2 Ingredient Nutella Cake which I shared many years ago. I’ve seen people call them Nutella brownies but I never thought they tasted like brownies. So I tweaked my original recipe to make a brownie version. These brownies are chewy, fudgy and everything a brownie should be.

2 Ingredient Brownies
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs straight from fridge
- 1 cup (286 g) Nutella or other chocolate spread
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8 x 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Add eggs to the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the wire whisk attachment, beat at highest speed for about 8 minutes. When your mixture is done, eggs should be more than triple in volume and vey pale in color. When you lift your beater, the mixture that drips down should sit on the surface for several seconds before sinking in. See photo in post for reference. This can also be done with a hand mixer but you may need a longer mixing time.
- Add chocolate spread to a large mixing bowl. Heat in microwave for about 20 seconds so that the spread is easier to mix. Add in 1/3 of the egg mixture. Gently fold the egg mixture into the chocolate spread until no egg streaks remain. Be careful not to mix too vigorously as you don't want to deflate the eggs too much. Add the second 1/3 of egg mixture and fold in. Add the last of the egg mixture and fold in until no egg streaks remain.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes (mine took 23 minutes) or until surface looks cooked and toothpick inserted comes out mostly clean. Let brownies cool before cutting and serving.

Notes
- Beating the eggs long enough is key to this recipe working. See post for more details and photo of how the egg mixture should look. Also be careful to gently fold in the egg mixture with the Nutella. You don't want to mix vigorously because you'll deflate the eggs too much.
- The mixing time assumes you are using eggs straight from fridge.
- See post for more details on chocolate spreads to use and potential substitutions.
- Nutrition estimate is calculated with Nutella spread.

I have never made Brownies before but when I saw how simple this recipe looked I made my mind up to try it out and I have to say I was not disappointed at all, they were absolutely fabulous and didn’t last very long. I did mix the eggs with an electric hand mixer and never again has it took almost forever, don’t know why I didn’t use my food processor but I will next time. Thank you for posting ?
We’re glad you loved them!
can i microwave in a mug instead? if yes for how long
Sorry, but we haven’t tested this recipe using a microwave.
Could you subsmooth peanut butter in place of the nutelo
Peanut butter will work but it will completely change the flavor and texture. the brownies won’t be fudgy or chewy. The brownies likely also wouldn’t be sweet enough
Surprisingly spongy and tastey! I love it! Highly recommend!
I beat the eggs by hand, which took longer, but they still turned out great!
We’re happy you loved them!
What other spreads are there that you recommend? I’m on Weight Watchers and trying to make this a low point food
Any chocolate spread will work for this recipe but we don’t recommend using sugar-free ones because they make the brownies dry. Another option you might like are our 2 Ingredient Fudgy Banana Brownies recipe that uses chocolate chips.
I am gluten intolerant. So there work for me.
Great

Can eggs be mixed in a blender instead of a mixer
I have not tried whipping the eggs in a blender so I’m not sure
I love this recipe. I used my blender and they still came out great. Just make sure it’s fine long enough to triple in volume.
Thanks for letting us know!
Easy enough for me ?
We hope you try it!
Yummy…

Yummy
The brownies look great but the nutrition values part does not have the sugars calculated?
The estimated nutrition does include the sugar
How many eggs? You are never exact with how many eggs I need. I think you could mean 2 eggs but i just want to be sure
3 large eggs. It’s stated in the recipe card at the end of the post before the comments
Love your recipes
