Tips:

  • For fudgy brownies, use melted chocolate and butter. For cakey brownies, use cocoa powder.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough brownies.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you don't have hazelnut butter, you can use another type of nut butter, such as peanut butter or almond butter.
  • To make the frosting creamier, add a tablespoon or two of milk.
  • If you want to add a little extra flavor to the frosting, try adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or hazelnut liqueur.
  • For a fun and festive presentation, top the cupcakes with a chocolate hazelnut candy bar or a dollop of whipped cream.

Conclusion:

These brownie cupcakes with hazelnut buttercream are the perfect treat for any occasion. They're fudgy, chocolatey, and topped with a creamy, nutty frosting. They're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
