Fudgy Salted Rye Flour Chocolate Brownies Recipe
These are the ultimate brownies- fudgy, salted, and loaded with real chocolate flavor.
Servings: 12 brownies
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 6 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ¾ cup rye flour
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon salt plus more flake salt for topping.
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a 8x8 or 9x9 pan with parchment paper. This step is optional, but it makes it so much easier to remove the brownies when they are baked.
- Melt your chocolate and butter. This can either be done in the microwave or a heatproof bowl over a double boiler. Mix until it is pretty smooth and set it aside.
- Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix them well and set them aside as well.
- Beat the eggs on medium speed with a hand mixer or stand mixer for about 3 minutes. They should be light and fluffy.
- To the egg mixture, add the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Mix for 1 minute on medium speed.
- Pour the melted chocolate/butter mixture and the milk. Mix until it is combined.
- Last are the dry ingredients. Mix this until it is combined.
- Pour batter into your prepared baking pan (be sure to use a rubber spatula to get all the batter out) and sprinkle with the flake salt.
- Move to the preheated oven and bake for about 35-45 minutes. Check for doneness- remember we don't want to overbake. In fact, the chocolatey brownies are the ones that are just slightly underbaked. There should be a very slight wobble in the brownies when they are done baking.
