Ingredients

• 120 grams spelt flour
• 60 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
• 150 grams dark chocolate
• 115 grams unsalted butter
• 150 grams granulated sugar
• 100 grams brown sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 75 grams chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease or line a 20 x 20 cm (8 x 8 inch) square baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and butter. Melt them together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring regularly, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until thick and pale, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Mix the melted chocolate mixture and vanilla extract into the sugar and egg mixture until fully combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the spelt flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder.

Step 6

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips at this stage.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 12 squares.

Step 11

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
