Continuing on with our Nutella Recipe Week.
The following recipe is completely amazing! It tastes pretty much like you’ve just stirred a heaping spoonful of Nutella into a batch of gooey and unbaked brownies. Who could resist something like that? Except maybe people who don’t like brownie batter… Is there even such a thing as a person who doesn’t like brownie batter?
Maybe I don’t want to know 😕
If you’re willing to share, this recipe is highly recommended as a good dessert for any potluck, barbecue, or party, as it is quick to make, easy to transport, and always well-received by guests. But it’s pretty hard to share!
In any case, I’ve had a lot of fun with Nutella week and hope you all have too. There are more Nutella recipes still to come (Nutella Ice Cream, Nutella Frosting, Nutella Fudge Brownies…), so I’ll try to incorporate these into future theme weeks. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the brownie batter dip!
(Adapted from the Cookie Dough Dip and Black Bean Brownies.)
Nutella Brownie Batter Dip
- 1 1/2 cups chickpeas or white beans (1 can, drained and rinsed very well) (250g after draining)
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar of choice or xylitol
- 1/16 tsp stevia (see chart) OR 2 additional tbsp sugar of choice
- 1/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread or Healthy Nutella
- 1/4 cup milk of choice
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, plus extra for the top if desired
In a high-quality food processor, process all ingredients except the chips until smooth. (Use a blender if you must, but I cannot vouch for the results.) Stir in the chips, then serve with sliced fruit, graham crackers, gingersnaps, or anything else you wish. Or just eat with a spoon! Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Link of the Day: Chocolate Chip Zucchini Muffins – the healthy breakfast muffin
Olivia says
This looks amazing! I can’t wait to make it!
I’d love to see an ice cream week, or a gluten-free recipe themed week. I know most of your recipes are naturally gluten-free or can easily be converted gluten-free, but it would still be nice to have a week full of recipes that are specifically designed to be gluten free. Thanks! 😀
Lacey says
Yes! I second this!
Alex says
Thanks for sharing your heart. I have been inspired to share my journey wIth Huntingtons Disease.
Cheryl says
What about a pancake week? I know you’ve already had breakfast month, but one can never have too many pancakes! I also really like the idea of cookie dough week and single-serving week 🙂
Megan says
I’d love a sweet potato theme week! Also a single-serving theme would be great! Love your recipes!
Alexa says
A sweet potato theme week would be spectacular, bringing both variety and delicious new flavors to the blog!! 🙂
Danielle @ Chits and Chats and Chocolate says
Oh my goodness, this is the bomb! You should do a coffee themed week! Or a fruity week!
Erica { EricaDHouse.com } says
I would eat this by the spoonful.
Scratch that, by the cupful.
Rowena says
This looks delicious, thank you!!! Ice cream week would be wonderful, considering August is the last warm month of the year before we move into chilly autumn days.
Rowena says
Am I the only one who doesn’t like single-serving desserts? If I am going to go to the trouble of preparing a homemade dessert, I am going to make more than one serving. Also, not that I score any health points for this, but I always eat more than the equivalent of one serving.
Sahar says
I couldn’t agree more
Lia says
An oatmeal, chocolate+pb, cookie dough, chia seed, or banana themed week would be awesome! Thank you Katie! You rock.
Kaitlyn says
I’d love to see a Single-Serving theme week!
amanda says
I love the theme idea! Nutella was a fantastic way too kick it off too!! I would love to see cookie dough next☺
Abby says
Cookie dough week seconded! 🙂
Lucy says
Avocado week sounds delicious! Also an oatmeal week would be amazing, or a maple syrup week. I know you do quite a lot of banana recipes already but you could do Banana week. Or savoury week, that would be very different!
Teddi Myers says
I love chocolate!! However with needing to be on a GF diet; buying GF desserts from the store is so expensive. Your desserts look yummy and I can not wait to try them. My issue is how to make them taste good enough for my partner to eat them too. All of the ones from the stores have a horrible aftertaste. We get tired of not being able to eat the same desserts.
EVA says
I’m not going to lie; I wasn’t a big fan of Nutella week. I LOVE Nutella-esque spreads, but these recipes weren’t my favorite.
I’d DEFINITELY want a single-serving week! Or a lunch/dinner week where you make savory meals? Or how about bread week?!
Liz says
Not sure why you would leave a comment like this, as it makes you sound incredibly selfish and ungrateful. These recipes are free on this site. If you don’t like one, just click away. But unless you are actually paying Katie for the recipes, you really don’t have a right to complain they “weren’t your favorite”. Please heed the wise words of Thumper, and take your negativity elsewhere.
eribis says
I don’t see the harm in saying that these “Nutella-esque spread” recipes weren’t Eva’s favorites….
Anna says
Thank you, Katie, for all of your hard work in making these recipes and offering them for free for us readers. Many of us do appreciate it.
I also appreciate your kindness in taking the time to answer reader questions and your patience. I just made the cauliflower chocolate cake, and my 5 year old said it was yummy! Planning to make many more of these recipes 🙂
k says
I agree. I am actually surprised when EVA does not leave a comment with a negative vibe.
D says
I would like to see an Oatmeal week!
Also, I’m not sure what category this food would fall under, but I’d like to see a vegan soufflé recipe please!
KarenM says
Would it be possible to do a low carb/glycemic week?? That would be amazing!
Melinda says
I second this 🙂
Liz says
Ice cream week would be great! And I second pancake week!
eribis says
Single serving week would be awesome!
Jessica says
I cannot wait to make this! 🙂 And chocolate chip cookie dough week definately needs to happen! And peanut butter week also! And maybe a pie week and a cookie week…lol okay I’ll stop now 😛
Claire Elizabeth says
Ooh ooh. I vote for single-serving week!!! 😀
Morag says
Looks yummy!!!!! It would be AWESOME if you did a seasonal fruit dessert themed week, so we can play with all the lovely ripe fruits of summer!
<3
Mia (Mia in Germany) says
Mmmh, you’ve done it again 😉 I spent half a week eating your cookie dough dip as my after-run morning snack before breakfast. Now it seems to be nutella dough time…
I’d love a single serving week or a sweet potato week.
Alice says
Single-serving week please!! I love your recipes, keep it up xxx
Marina says
I would love to see a sweet potato week or bean week!! Two of my favorite things that can be made into a dessert!
Esther says
I’d love to see single-serving week (perfect for school lunches 🙂 or maybe quinoa week? Thanks for the great recipes Katie!
Abby says
After cookie dough week, quinoa week would be my next vote 🙂
Christina says
Hi Katie,
I love your blog! I’ve made so many of your recipes and have yet to find one that I don’t like! Quick question, how many servings would you say this recipe makes? Thanks! 🙂
Christina says
Also, would it be ok to omit the nutella from the recipe?
Jennifer says
This one has no nutella: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/2011/07/25/dark-chocolate-brownie-batter-dip/
Christina says
Thanks Jennifer!
Jules @ WolfItDown says
Holy smoke! That looks amazing 😀 Love the wee crackers you’ve served on the side with it too, perfect Friday treat 😀 x
Sarah says
Cookie week! I need a good list if cookies for a party. Oh and also could you please come up with a healthy spritz cookie recipe? I know it’s not even Christmas yet but I have the cookie press and I really want to make spritz, but not with 1 CUP OF BUTTER!!!thanks
Robin in AZ says
I would love to see a baked cookie themed week. My hubby is finally buying into the idea of healthy desserts but doesn’t see the dips and dough-type cookies as dessert. Since he wants dessert every night, I’m trying to get away from the store bought junk and give him something with actual nutrients. Please help!?! I am trying some of your other recipes on him soon.
Jennifer says
She has many other types of recipes all listed here. There is a cookie section too: https://chocolatecoveredkatie.com/recipes/
Jenny says
When it comes to adding sugar to your recipes, do you use the real thing or something like xylitol? I have never tried using xylitol, does it leave an after taste? Thanks and love your blog!
Jennifer says
It pretty much tastes the same as sugar. But can cause stomach distress in extremely high doses in some people. Also toxic to dogs, so never give a dog a xylitol treat.
Kara says
Yum! This looks DELICIOUS!
I would love see a single serving week (I’m the only vegan in the family), a cookie dough week would obviously be great, pb+chocolate week (Reeses!), or secret ingredient week (just because it’s funny/great). Also maybe an ethnic week? Hmmm … lots of ideas. Really I’ll be happy with any of your recipes!!! 🙂
EVA says
Oooh yeah, ethnic week is a great idea!
Holly says
Katie, I love all your recipes and this one looks especially delicious! Do you approximately how many this recipe serves? I know for something like a dip it is hard to estimate, but I would love to see “makes a big bowl” or “double for a party-sized portion” with the recipes!
Abby says
It looks like it serves as much as her regular cookie dough dip, which calls for the same amount of beans. I’ve made that many times before and it serves enough for a party. About 2 cups maybe.
Anushka W. says
As MUCH as I love your dessert recipes .. can we do a “Savory Week”? (:
Sahar says
OMG CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH WEEK WOULD MAKE MY LIFE!!! That would be SOOO AMAZING!!
Susan says
Katie, I think you’ve outdone yourself with this one! How could anyone not want to make and eat this?
As for theme weeks, I like your idea of sweet potato week, and quinoa week is another possibility. Also anything with unusual veggies (yeah, I know they’re not chocolate, but…).
Sara Lejsner says
Ice cream week!!! Especially ones with coconut milk!
Madiantin says
I don’t own a food processor and know nothing about them, so was wondering what constitutes a high quality vs low quality food processor?
anonymous says
Go with a Cuisinart! That’s high quality.
Madiantin says
Thanks. =)
Kathy says
Looks amazing!! Zucchini week would be great, due to the abundance of the fruit right now.
[email protected] says
I could eat Nutella straight out of the jar, but this recipe would make it last longer – a good thing!
Emily says
Sugar-free week! Like recipes where there’s no sugar and also no sweeteners like xylitol or stevia… Just cause they’re not so easy to get some places!
Rachel says
This looks so good although I’m probably one of the only people who don’t like hazlenuts but I figure a chocolate almond spread would work just as nicely:) I love your website and have tried so many of your recipes and even though I’m not vegan I’ve really enjoyed so many and I love feeling guilt free while indulging!:) my vote for next week is single serving. Thanks again for all your wonderful recipes!
Am says
I was thinking a fruit week, or a citrus week could be cool! 🙂 Oooo, or a mint week. I am enjoying the theme weeks – it’s so fun to think what will be made with it next?? 🙂
Nat says
I also like the idea of a single serving week. Also how about a microwave cooking week (don’t have a working oven)? I absolutely adore (…am addicted to) bread so a bread week would make me one very happy woman.
Sally says
I’d love to see either a sweet potato or avocado week, or even better a beet week! Any of those three would be great.
Crys says
I am a runner and cyclist. I love your website and check/subscribe daily. I was hit by a truck four months ago and my arm was broken and a plate and seven screws were inserted . I love your blog. Thank you!
Sarah says
That sounds awful! Get well soon! 🙁
Christine (The Raw Project) says
This looks amazing, can’t wait to try it. Thanks! And agreed on a ice cream week.
Saraquill says
I’m not a fan of brownie batter myself, I’d rather eat it after it’s baked.
Lyndsey says
Oatmeal week! 😀
angela says
popcorn week would be interesting! like kettle corn, or “cheesy”, chocolate, cinnamon, chicago mix, dill pickle, so many possibilities!
Linda says
Single serving week for sure!! I love those recipes because I don’t have to share;)
Nina :) says
‘Nana Ice Cream week!
Kathy says
Avocado week, please! 😀
I was extremely happy when you told us you changed your mind about avocados! Avocados are one of my favorite fruits! In season, here in south america, sometimes I eat three in a day! Yes, I am an addict. Have a nice weekend, Katie!
Elsie says
I would love to see an avocado week. I love your recipes.
I am so sorry about your arm. I broke my right wrist 3 years ago, so I truly understand how hard it is to do everything with one hand.
Get well soon.
Elsie
Stephanie Dreyer says
Wow, this looks amazing. I love Nutella so the idea of this is heaven! Do you think it would work in a Vitamix or better to use a traditional Cuisinart food processor?
Sarah says
It says not to use a blender, so go with the food processor.
Handmade by Lorna says
This dip looks so moorish – how will I ever stop myself from eating it all!!! My vote for next weeks theme is cup cake week – a girl can never have too many cup cake recipes.
Rachel says
Single serving week! I’ve made all your single serving desserts and they are the best! I would love to see what else you can come up with! 🙂
Maria G. says
Definitely ice cream week – ice cream is my favorite dessert!
Dagmar says
Dear Katie,
I love your site and have already tried a few recipies. They are amazing! I keep on recommending you to anybody who is interested in healthy unspoiled food. I’m even thinking about telling my diabetologist about it, so he can tell his other patients they are not lost chocolatewise ;-)!
A very special THANK YOU for converting cups into grams! Helps a lot especially here in metric Germany. (might also explain my odd English :-D)
Lisa @bitesforbabies says
Did you read my mind?! I just bought a HUGE tub on Nutella yesterday…and contemplated why I bought the biggest tub there was…but now I can make this! 😉
Rebecca @ Hello Creative Blog says
I recently found my love for Nutella – this looks out of this world!!!
Pamela Fernandes says
I would love to see single servings.. but honestly Katie everything you do is WONDERFUL.. and AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL.. keep it up.. I love it all!!!
Maria says
I was nominated by Taylor, from Oatastic Oats, to complete The Liebster Award, here is the link to my acceptance post. I nominated you and your blog to complete The Liebster Award (because it is one of my favourites) and if you do accept to complete it, the following is also the link to the questions you will have to answer. http://breakfastaddiction.blogspot.ie/2014/08/the-liebster-award.html
Mary says
You! You are my hero! These look amazing!
Kathryn says
What about a hidden-vegetables week? I love it when I get to sneak veggies into my desserts. I would also be up for a cookie dough theme week. Or you could combine the two: cookie dough with hidden vegetables! That probably wouldn’t require a whole week though. 😉
Allie says
This looks AMAZING! I’ve been on a Nutella kick recently (I was just introduced to potato chips and Nutella, what?) so, perfect timing! I vote for pancake week, because I love them.
Charlotte says
I would love a single-serving week! I love your single lady muffins. 🙂
Tammy & Katie says
How about cinnamon roll week? I do like the idea of ice cream week!
Amanda - Create N Plate says
Yum!! I don’t think that this would be a recipe that I’d want to share with anyone else though, looks too good for that!
PottedFern says
OMGG this is the first time I’ve ever commented, but I just want to say I love your site so much!! My brother and I have been making your recipes and every one is just sooo good <3
For the theme week, please do a mint chocolate week! ouo We love your healthy mint chocolate chip milkshake!
Of course, you do already have a lot of mint chocolate stuff… but still 🙂
Elemnestra says
I am a college student and the problem I’m always facing is the absence of an equipped kitchen in my dorm. The closest we’ve got to a stove is a microwave. So I would LOVE something like mug cakes that can be easily made on campus. =)
ash says
Ice-cream week pleaseeee!
Stacy Schildhauer says
Single serving week for sure!! I’m always looking for great single serving recipes.
Lisa | Mummy Made.It says
Love it! No one would ever guess beans were the ‘magic’ ingredient (sorry, couldn’t help the pun!)
Kim W says
I have a challenge: Vegan Healthy Gateau Marjolaine. Single or Two serving. CCK, If anyone can do it you can!
p.s. How about weeknight dessert week?
Steph says
Mmmmmm, Nutella brownie batter dip. I can’t think of anything I wouldn’t dip into that. Well if I tried hard enough I could.. but I’m too focused on this dip!
🙂
Lili says
Hi Katie! Love all your amazing recipes and I was surprised to see under your you may also like section just before the comments the first row are pictures of your recipes and links but below that are links to food I don’t think you want on your page. Maybe you can’t avoid it but it was strange to see make your own mcdonalds cheeseburger and pulled pork recipes. Thanks
Unofficial CCK Helper says
Those are advertisements on her site, NOT posts from CCK herself.
Tim Treweek says
Nutella Brownie Batter Dip looks so sweet and fabulous. I do love brownies. This is perfect to served with kids. Surely, they loved this. Thanks for posting. Im going to have one.
Emily says
Make Veggies Seductive week. When it’s hot and summer, I’m rarely drawn to making veggies – help me fall in love with them!
Anoushe says
This looks delicious!! I love the addition of beans to make dips like these healthier… justifies eating it for lunch 😉
Ana says
Single serving apple week please!!!
Kevin C says
Katie – Is this dip supposed to be soup-y or more of a paste? My wife and I are amazed at how great is tastes, but were wondering about consistency. Thanks for what you do!
Unofficial CCK Helper says
Definitely not soupy! It should be thick exactly like cookie dough. Did you drain the beans fully? And use a good food processor?
Jasmyne Teoma @ Hot. Healthy. Sexy. says
Oh my goodness, absolutely genius! xoxo!!
Sarah Sherwood says
Hi,
This recipe looks lovely. Is there anything you could use instead of the beans as I am allergic to them and I’ve seen that you use beans in a few recipes?
Thanks
Unofficial CCK Helper says
I would recommend making one of Katie’s many other pudding or dip recipes, such as the Chocolate Fondue or the Reese’s Frosting (you could use Nutella in place of the peanut butter) or even the chocolate frosting shots or use the Brownie Cheesecake Ball as a dip.
Sarah Sherwood-Burnish says
Thanks I will do that
Jess says
A weird ingredient week would be cool!
Angie says
Hey, Katie. I made both this awesome dip and your Healthy Nutella recipe and featured them on my blog! They came out great!! Two recipes I’ve never altered, and I usually alter everything! Haha Check out my post here: http://anxiousangie.com/2017/07/28/healthy-nutella-brownie-batter-dip/
Norm says
Do you eat baking soda raw? Eat flour raw?
