Double Fudge Whole Wheat Brownies Recipe

Name: Double Fudge Whole Wheat Brownies
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter; 2 cups brown sugar, packed; 3/4 cup dutch process cocoa; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon espresso powder (optional); 1 tablespoon vanilla extract; 4 large eggs; 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour; 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F Lightly grease a 9 x 13 pan.
2
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the sugar and stir to combine. Heat briefly until it is hot and beginning to bubble. This dissolves more of the sugar, giving you a shiny top on the finished brownies.
3
Stir in the cocoa, baking powder, salt, espresso powder (if using--I never do), and vanilla. Cool until you can test it with your finger. (I put it in the fridge for 5 minutes if I'm in a hurry.) Whisk in the eggs, stirring until it is smooth and slightly thickened, then add the flour and chocolate chips. Stir again until smooth.
4
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, bake 30-35 minutes, or until a cake tester shows wet crumbs, but not raw batter. (Mine always looks wet to me, but I think it's the chocolate chips!)
5
Remove from the oven and cool the pan on a wire rack. My DH eats them as soon as they are cool enough to handle! My cookbook recommends waiting overnight before serving. This allows the bran to soften.
6
Enjoy!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
