Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup whole wheat flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chunks (optional)
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips together, stirring frequently until smooth. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Gradually add the melted butter and chocolate mixture, whisking until smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, to the sugar and chocolate mixture, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the whole wheat flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
If using, gently fold in the dark chocolate chunks and chopped nuts for extra texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly across the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 28-32 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs (avoid overbaking for fudgier brownies).
Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes before slicing into squares.
Enjoy your Sneaky Wheat Super Fudge Brownies with a cold glass of milk or a scoop of ice cream!
