Whole Wheat Brownie Mix Recipes

WHOLE WHEAT BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
• Place chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
• Combine sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Stir in the cooled melted chocolate until incorporated. Fold in flour and then stir in chocolate chips and walnuts. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is dry and edges have started to pull away from the sides of the pan, 25 to 28 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Grease an 8"x8" square cake pan.
• In a heavy bottomed saucepan over very low heat, combine the chocolate, cocoa powder, and butter. Stir constantly until melted and smooth. Add the brown rice syrup and vanilla. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
• Once cool, add the eggs and stir until well-combined. Add the flour and nuts (if using) and stir until almost combined. Add the salt,and gently stir until just combined, being careful not to over mix the batter.
• Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and spread to the edges. Place in the oven on the center rack.
• Bake, until the kitchen smells of chocolate, the center is firm to touch, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
• Allow to cool in the pan for at least a full 10 minutes. Invert pan and remove brownies, and place on cooling rack.

LOW-FAT WHOLE WHEAT BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 9x13 inch pan.
• Melt butter in microwave-safe bowl or in saucepan over low heat. Add sugar and stir to combine.
• Return mixture to heat briefly until it's hot and starting to bubble (this allows the sugar to dissolve, which will yield a shiny top crust).
• Stir in cocoa, baking powder, salt, espresso powder, and vanilla. Cool until you can test with finger and mixture feels like comfortably hot bath water.
• Mix in applesauce.
• Whisk in eggs, stir until smooth, then add the flour and chips, again stirring until smooth. Spoon batter into prepared pan.
• Bake until sharp knife or cake tester poked in middle reveals wet crumbs but not raw batter, 30 minutes. The brownies should feel set on edges and in the center. Remove from oven and cool on rack, cover when cool. Let sit overnight before serving to allow the bran to soften.
