Why You’ll Love These Brownies
- Chewy and fudgy: This brownie recipe has the perfect texture! It creates the perfect fudgy brownies, with crisp edges and chewy centers.
- Boosted with nutrients: Einkorn flour is an ancient grain that hasn’t been processed the same way regular all purpose flour has. Due to this, it is packed full of protein and vitamins, and boasts a much lower gluten content than modern flour, making it a good option for those who may be gluten sensitive.
- Quick and easy: These brownies can be made in one bowl and bake up quickly. Great for when a late night chocolate craving hits 🙂
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Butter: Melted, please! You can use salted or unsalted.
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: A must for rich, chocolatey brownies.
- Sugar: I use a combination of brown and white sugar in this recipe.
- Egg: Room temperature is best.
- Salt: The salt helps to balance out all of the sweetness. I love and use Redmond mineral salt.
- Espresso Powder: Optional, but recommended! It adds a delicious depth of flavor to the brownies.
- All Purpose Einkorn Flour: I love and use Jovial Foods brand.
- Chocolate chips: This recipe calls for semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you could substitute dark or milk chocolate if you prefer.
How to Make Fudgy Einkorn Brownies
- Begin by preheating oven to 350 degrees.
- In a small bowl, melt the butter. Set aside for a few minutes to cool.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add the brownie batter to a prepared 9×9 baking dish that has been greased or lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in preheated oven until cooked completely, about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the pan comes out clean.
- 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.
FAQs and Storage
Yes! 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.
These brownies will store well in an airtight container or on the counter covered in plastic wrap for up to 3 days (if they last that long!)
