Whole Wheat Brownies…YUM!

A friend gave me this recipe and I just made a few alterations to make it lower fat (so I could justify making it more chocolatey with the mini-chips. :))  As a brownie-lover, I was so surprised how delicious these are with no white flour.  All of my testers thought the same.  Enjoy!

WHOLE WHEAT BROWNIES

2 C. whole wheat flour (best if from white wheat)

2 C. sugar

3/4 C. cocoa powder

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

1 C. water

1 C. oil (I use 1/2 c. applesauce and 1/2 c. oil)

1 tsp. vanilla

Optional: Add about 1 C. each of chopped walnuts and mini chocolate chips

Mix all ingredients together  and pour into greased 9 x 13 pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.  Let set for 10 minutes before cutting.

    ::drool:: is it doable with red wheat? I don’t have any white that is open at the moment.

    you can use red wheat. I used red winter wheat when I made these and they turned out great.

    I tried these with honey and succant they were delicious! Definitely a keeper! I think red wheat would be okay it would just make the brownies heavier and have more of a wheat flavor.

    YAY! A “healthy” alternative. It seems like food storage and whole grain, low fat can be hard to mix. I like the applesauce suggestion.
