Why Einkorn Flour?

Einkorn flour is an ancient grain that has not been hybridized like most modern wheat. This results in a flour that is packed with more nutritional benefits, with more protein and a lower gluten content that is much easier to digest, making it a good option for folks with gluten sensitivities.

I started using all purpose einkorn flour in recipes about a year ago, and have been experimenting more and more with swapping out einkorn flour for all purpose in my tried and true recipes that my family and I love. It adds a mild nutty flavor to recipes that I find delicious! I have used it successfully in cookies, biscuits and pancakes, and knew that brownies had to be next on the list.

Ingredients

• 1 stick butter, melted
• Unsweetened cocoa powder
• Brown sugar
• White Sugar
• Egg
• Salt
• Instant espresso powder (optional but recommended)
• Einkorn flour (I use Jovial Foods brand)
• Chocolate chips

How to Make Fudgy Einkorn Brownies

1. Begin by preheating oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a small bowl, melt the butter. Set aside for a few minutes to cool.
3. In a large mixing bowl, add in the brown and white granulated sugar, cooled butter, egg, and 2 tsp vanilla extract. Using a wooden spoon, stir together well until combined.
4. In a separate bowl, melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips, cooling slightly before adding into the bowl and stirring together with the other ingredients. Add in 1 tsp salt, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, and 1 cup einkorn flour, stirring to combine. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
5. Add the brownie batter to a prepared 9×9 baking dish that has been greased or lined with parchment paper.
6. Bake in preheated oven until cooked completely, about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan comes out clean.
7. Let cool for a few minutes before digging in. They pair nicely with a tall glass of cold milk, or maybe even some homemade ice cream 🙂

Tips for Success

• Make sure the melted butter has cooled before adding to the batter. Hot melted butter can scramble the egg.
• Be careful substituting regular all purpose flour for the einkorn flour. Just know that einkorn does not absorb as much liquid as regular flour, so you may have to adjust the flour measurement in the recipe.
• You can choose to melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler on the stove, or in the microwave. If melting chocolate in the microwave, microwave the chocolate for 20-30 seconds at a time, stirring often.
