Instructions to cook Magic brownie bars
- Place eggs into a mixer. On medium-high, mix until you have a light and airy consistency as shown in the video.
- This will take between 3 and 4 minutes.
- Next, add in your hazelnut spread and mix on medium-high until all combined.
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, and bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes.
- Place on a baking rack and allow to cool for 20 minutes before removing from pan.
Storage
To store the gluten-free brownie bars, let the brownie bars cool completely before storing them. This will help prevent condensation from forming inside the container and causing the brownies to become soggy. In addition, place the brownie bars in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This will help prevent air and moisture from getting to the brownies, which can cause them to dry out or become stale. Store the brownie bars at room temperature, in a cool, dry place. They should last for up to three days in an airtight container.
If you need to store the brownie bars for a longer period of time, you can freeze them. Wrap each brownie bar individually in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to three months.
Pro tip
Use high-quality chocolate hazelnut spread like Nutiva. Brownies are all about the chocolate, so it's important to use good quality chocolate that you love. If you are not concerned about dairy or sugars, Nutella also works great in these bars.
Equipment
- Whisk and electric mixer: You'll need a whisk to combine the dry ingredients and an electric mixer to combine the wet ingredients.
- Spatula: A spatula will help you scrape the sides of the mixing bowl and spread the batter evenly in the pan.
- Cooling rack: Once the brownie bars are finished baking, you'll need a cooling rack to let them cool completely before slicing and serving.
