Recipe Box: Double Decadent Brownies

Print Friendly

This week the giveaway is a brand new WonderMill Grain Mill! I am currently taking part in the Grain Mill Challenge and WonderMill was kind enough to send me a grain mill. Since I already own one I decided to give it away to one of my readers. Click here to enter!

The hardest part of the Grain Mill Wagon Challenge has been deciding which recipes I will share. Since we’ve been using our own milled grains for quite some time I have an abundance of recipes using whole wheat.

WonderMill Grain Mill

This is a delicious brownie recipe that is even better if allowed to sit overnight. This gives the bran a chance to soften, giving them a more pleasing texture. You can almost convince yourself that they are good for you!

Double Decadent Brownies

1 cup butter, unsalted
2 cups brown sugar
¾ cup Dutch-process cocoa
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp espresso powder (Optional)
1 Tbsp vanilla
4 large eggs
1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

In a saucepan over low heat, melt your butter.

First step, melt your butter.

Then add the sugar and stir to combine. Continue to heat until the mixture is hot and just starting to bubble.

brownies, dessert

Add sugar to butter.

Stir in the cocoa, salt, baking powder, espresso powder, and vanilla. Cool the mixture until you can actually stick your finger in the batter and it just feels warm. Whisk in the eggs, stirring until smooth and then add your flour and chocolate chips, stirring until smooth.

desserts, whole wheat

Add chocolate chips to batter.

Spoon the batter into a lightly greased 9 x 13 pan or two 8 x 8 pans.

Ready for the oven.

Bake the brownies for 3o minutes until a sharp knife poked into the center reveals wet crumbs but not raw batter. The brownies should feel set on the edges and in the center. Remove from the oven and let cool before cutting and serving.

Let cool on wire rack.

As I mentioned they are even better if allowed to sit overnight, if you can wait that long!
