Whole wheat brownies recipe

You’d never know they were whole wheat.

 

These whole wheat brownies are actually one of my all-time favorite brownies.  Although you can’t really tell that these are whole wheat brownies, the whole wheat flour adds a subtle sweetness and warmth to the flavor of the brownies.  It’s amazing!

If you’d like to convert your own brownie recipe into a whole wheat brownies recipe, I recommend that you use about 75% of the measurement of all purpose flour called for in the original recipe.  For example, if your recipe called for 1 cup of all purpose flour, use 3/4 cups of whole wheat flour.  If your brownie recipe called for 1/2 cup of all purpose flour, you would use 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons of whole wheat flour.  In most cases, nothing else would need to be adjusted.

You might also enjoy these Healthy Brownies that are also made with whole wheat flour, but include olive oil instead of butter.
