Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Spread the hazelnuts evenly on a baking sheet.
- Roast them in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally for even toasting.
- Remove the hazelnuts from the oven and let them cool slightly. Rub them in a clean kitchen towel to remove most of the skins.
- Place the toasted and skinned hazelnuts in a food processor.
- Pulse until you achieve a coarse meal consistency. Be careful not to over-process, as you don't want a nut butter.
- Break the dark chocolate into small pieces.
- Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth. Set aside to cool a bit.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until pale and frothy.
- Add the self-raising flour and ground hazelnuts to the eggs, and stir until combined.
- Pour the slightly cooled, melted dark chocolate into the mixture and stir until you have a uniform batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
- Be careful not to overbake; you want the center to be fudgy.
- Remove the tray from the oven and let the brownies cool completely in the baking tray.
- Once cooled, lift the brownies out using the parchment paper and cut into squares.
- Serve and enjoy your delicious, homemade 5-ingredient chocolate brownies!
Tips:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate to enhance the rich flavor of the brownies.
- For an even nuttier taste, lightly toast the hazelnuts before using them in the recipe.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before cutting to get neat, clean slices.
- If you prefer a fudgier brownie, consider slightly underbaking them and letting them set as they cool.
- Always use room temperature eggs to ensure they mix well with the other ingredients.
