Yesterday on a whim I wanted to bake a brownie. But lack of cake flour and eggs made me sad.
It then dawned on me, what if I make brownie with whole wheat flour and use flaxseeds?
The result?
AMAZING!!!
The exterior is well baked and cake-like. But the interior is moist, fudgy and slightly molten.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp castor sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil or 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (get Hershey's Cocoa Powder)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tbsp. flaxseed powder (get Flaxseed Powder)
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. vanilla essence (get French Vanilla)
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 30-50 gms chopped milk chocolate (optional)
Method:
In a small bowl mix flaxseed powder with 5 tablespoon of water.
Keep aside.
Grease and flour a cake tin.
Keep aside.
Preheat oven at 180 degrees Celsius.
In a large mixing bowl sieve flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
Add sugar.
Mix the dry ingredients well.
Now add oil, milk, dissolved flaxseed along with the water and vanilla essence.
Whisk well.
Pour the brownie batter in the prepared cake tin.
Add the chopped chocolate on top and lightly dunk them into the batter.
Do not press the chocolate entirely else they will sink to the bottom of cake tin and burn.
Bake for no more than 20-30 minutes.
Leave in the oven for 15 minutes after switching it off.
Cut squares and serve warm or cold.

Do we have to melt the butter n use?
ReplyDeleteHello, I much appreciate that you stopped by and read the recipe. About your question. You can melt butter. Or take room temperature soft butter. Hard butter is difficult to whisk and mix in cake batter.
