Perfect for both beginner bakers and seasoned chefs alike, this recipe brings together essential pantry staples to create a decadent dessert you won't be able to resist.

Ingredients:

2 cups hazelnuts
240g
4 eggs
200g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1 cup dark chocolate
230g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- 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.
2. Toast the Hazelnuts:
- 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.
3. Process the Hazelnuts:
- 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.
4. Melt the Dark Chocolate:
- 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.
5. Combine Ingredients:
- 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.
6. Bake:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray, spreading it out evenly.
7. Bake the Brownie:
- 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.
8. Cool and Serve:
- 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.
9. Enjoy:
- 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.

This 5-ingredient chocolate brownie recipe proves that you don't need a long list of ingredients to create a treat that's both delicious and satisfyingly rich. With its simple preparation and unbeatable taste, it's sure to become a staple in your baking repertoire. Enjoy these brownies warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or simply on their own for a perfect finish to any meal.
