Recipe: Wholewheat Dark Chocolate Brownies
Summary: Decadent wholewheat dark chocolate brownies just right for the season of indulgence. Wholewheat makes these less ‘guilt-ridden’, and some olive oil instead of butter convinces you to reach for more. Add some walnuts if you like!
Prep Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 40 minutes Ingredients:
- 65g unsalted butter, room temperature
- 35g light olive oil
- 100g dark chocolate
- 100g raw sugar
- 3 small eggs {or 2 large}
- 1tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- pinch salt
- 75g wholewheat flour {aata}
- 50g dark chocolate chips { and / or chopped nuts}
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180C. Line a square 8 X 8″ baking tin with parchment paper.
- Place the butter, oil and chocolate in a bowl and microwave for 1 minute {or simmer over a double boiler}. Whisk well until the chocolate has blended with the butter and oil.
- Add the sugar and whisk well.
- Add the eggs and whisk again, followed by the vanilla extract, then baking powder and salt.
- Now whisk in the wholewheat flour, and fold in the dark chocolate chips and /or nuts if using.
