Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter (melted) (1 stick)
  • 1⅛ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla
  • ½ cup all purpose einkorn flour - You can substitute for any all-purpose flour. If you are using whole wheat einkorn flour you will need additional flour until the consistency looks correct. Usually, you will need 3/4 cup flour if using whole wheat einkorn.
  • ½ cup dutch cocoa powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Add the melted butter, sugar, salt, and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Whisk until it is well combined.
  • Add the eggs to the mixture. Whisk for 2 minutes or until the batter turns to a lighter color. This step is very important. Beating the eggs in thoroughly will give you the crackly top on your brownies.
  • Next, add the flour and cocoa powder to the mixture and use a silicone spatula to gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet. Do this until everything is well combined.
  • Line the 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper. (If you're not using parchment paper grease the baking dish.) Pour the batter into the lined or greased baking dish. Spread out the batter evenly.
  • Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Do not overbake your brownies. If you insert a toothpick into the brownies there will be a small amount on the toothpick. If you want your brownies gooey then do not bake longer than 30 minutes. If you do not want gooey brownies bake longer until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool 10-15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Add-Ins

1. Chocolate Chips: Adding chocolate chips to brownie batter will give you double chocolate einkorn brownies. It is a simple way to enhance the chocolatey goodness of the dessert. You can use dark, milk, or white chocolate chips depending on your preference.
2. Nuts: Chopped nuts like walnuts, pecans, or almonds add a nice crunch to brownies and provide an additional layer of flavor. Toasting the nuts before adding them to the batter can also enhance their nuttiness.
3. Caramel Swirls: Drizzling caramel sauce over the brownie batter and swirling it with a toothpick creates a pretty swirl design but also adds so much flavor.
4. Cream cheese: Adding cream cheese mixed with a little sugar and vanilla onto the top of your brownie batter and then swirling it in with a toothpick can take your brownies up another notch.

Storage

Brownies should be stored in an airtight container or ziplock bag. They can be stored at room temperature and last up to 3 days. If stored in the refrigerator they will last up to 5 days.
