In fact, it&#8217;s probably enough to last months). Unfortunately, this makes it easy for things to get lost or forgotten. We&#8217;ve had the same jar of Nutella for years (it expired years ago too, and the lid was used in a past automobile repair project by my dad). I was searching for a way to use it up before it goes rancid, and decided on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thekitchn.com\/recipe-speculoosswirl-skillet-brownie-recipes-from-the-kitchn-216418\">brownies<\/a>! The recipe I found uses almond meal and instant coffee, other remnant ingredients we have.<\/p>\n<p>The recipe doesn&#8217;t actually call for Nutella. It calls for cookie butter swirled into the top of the brownie batter, but I figured I could sub in Nutella. I also used about 2\/3 cup Nutella in the batter, as a replacement for the chocolate chips (I decreased the butter and sugar by about 25% each to attempt to accommodate the Nutella. I also added an extra ~1\/4 cup almond meal &#8217;cause the batter seemed too wet).<\/p>\n<p>The recipe calls for baking at 325\u00b0F for 20-25 minutes. This was completely insufficient, unless you like uncooked brownie batter. I cooked the brownies for an additional 15 minutes, for a total of 40 minutes. Even then, the brownies were wet and fudgy, and incredibly tender. They needed to be eaten with a spoon. However, they had great flavor! Next time, I&#8217;d bake these at 350\u00b0F for about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1067\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1067\" style=\"width: 525px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1067 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/beansproutadventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_2470-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beansproutadventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_2470-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beansproutadventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_2470-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beansproutadventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_2470-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/beansproutadventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/IMG_2470.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1067\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The brownies had a nice crusty top.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My parents have a lot of food around (definitely enough to last the recommended 3 days for an emergency.
