Time 50m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate
½ cup butter
1 cup white sugar
2 each eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup dark chocolate chips
¾ cup chopped walnuts

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh flaxseed. For the best flavor and nutritional value, use fresh flaxseed that has been ground within the past six months. You can grind flaxseed in a coffee grinder or food processor.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. If the toothpick comes out clean, the brownies are overbaked.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to set and hold their shape.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the brownies for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These whole wheat flax brownies are a delicious and healthy treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and are easy to make. Plus, they are packed with nutrients like fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. So next time you are craving a brownie, reach for these whole wheat flax brownies instead of the traditional kind.
