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.
Oooh I definitely have to try these out! Thanks for sharing the recipe 🙂
YAY! A “healthy” alternative. It seems like food storage and whole grain, low fat can be hard to mix. I like the applesauce suggestion.
I try to do applesauce a lot, but I can’t wait to try the wheat flour. Mmm.
I made these Wednesday night and I really like them! I added low-sugar mini chips. They were completely moist, but fell apart kind of easily (crumbly). I think now that you gave me the idea of soft white wheat I’d like to try these with that to soften the overall texture.
Oh – and I like that they don’t have eggs in them (less food storage eggs I have to use). And thanks for adding the RSS feed!!
