Instructions
Make The Dry Brownie Mix
- Firstly, mill your flour. I recommend soft white wheat, but spelt or einkorn would work as well.
- I like to put my wide mouth quart size mason jar on my kitchen scale, and zero out the scale.
- Then, I put 100g of freshly milled flour into the bottom of the jar.
- On top of the flour, I put the baking soda and salt.
- In the middle layer, I put 320g of Brown Sugar.
- Then for the top, I put a layer of 52g cocoa powder. You may need to gently jostle the jar so that everything fits, and is below the top of the rim, so that you can put on a lid
- Place an airtight lid onto the jar.
- Decorate as desired, you can be as creative as you wish! I have a link to the Recipe Cards you see in my photos that you can print out at home!
- See storage directions below.
Prepare The Fresh Milled Flour Brownie Mix
- Add entire contents of the FMF Brownie mix into a large mixing bowl.
- Then, add 1 stick of melted butter (1/2 cup, 115g), 2 eggs, and 2 tsp Vanilla Extract.
- Mix ingredients just to combine, don't overmix. Allow the brownie mix to sit while the oven preheats.
- Preheat the oven to 350*F
- Grease or Butter a 8x8 baking pan.
- Bake the brownies for about 35 minutes.
- Let the brownies cool for at least 10 minutes, then enjoy!
Notes
I recommend you keep your dry Brownie mix sealed in an airtight container. They should be stored in the fridge for 7 days, or for longer storage, keep in the freezer for up to 4 months.
