How’s that title hitting you guys? Are you delighted by the thought of having your brownies and your endosperm and germ too? Or are you more in the camp of – get your healthy ingredients away from my treats? I personally fall somewhere in between. I do love me a good old-fashioned sugar bomb. But I’m also a “dessert every day” kind of person. As such, I try to crank up the nutritional content of all my treats. Why not?
To that end, I rarely have white flour in my pantry and make almost everything with whole wheat flour or buckwheat flour. I thought I’d share this recipe for those of you who, like me, want your treats and your fiber and micronutrients too ;). I hope you enjoy it! These whole wheat brownies are especially delicious when paired with homemade banana ice cream.
