You wouldn't necessarily think adding rye flour to brownies would be a good idea, but it's fabulous. The flour lends a deep earthiness that works wonderfully with the bittersweet depth of the chocolate. A sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top makes it taste even more chocolaty. These brownies are extremely moist, so don't overbake them; they should still be a bit wobbly in the center when you pull them from the oven. They'll solidify as they cool.

Time 45m

Yield 12 brownies

Number Of Ingredients 11

11 tablespoons/156 grams unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, more for greasing pan
10 1/2 ounces/300 grams bittersweet chocolate (60 to 70 percent cocoa), chopped
1 1/2 cups/200 grams whole grain rye flour
1/2 cup/50 grams unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon/3 grams baking powder
1 teaspoon/5 grams fine sea salt
4 large eggs
1 cup/200 grams granulated sugar
1 cup/200 grams light brown sugar
1 tablespoon/15 milliliters vanilla extract
1 teaspoon/5 grams flaky sea salt, such as Maldon, for sprinkling on top

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan.
  • Using a double boiler, or in a metal bowl set over a saucepan containing an inch of simmering water (do not let bottom of bowl touch the water), melt the butter and chocolate, stirring with a heatproof rubber spatula. Let cool.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together rye flour, cocoa, baking powder and sea salt.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat eggs, granulated and brown sugars and vanilla until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in melted chocolate mixture until smooth. Beat in flour mixture.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle lightly with flaky salt and bake until brownies are mostly firm, but with a very slight wobble in the center, about 25 minutes. (Note that a tester inserted in the center will not come out clean.) Let cool completely before cutting into squares. Serve within 1 day of baking.

I'm not a big fan of rye flour, but these brownies were actually pretty good. I would definitely make them again.

These brownies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.

I made these brownies exactly as the recipe said, but they turned out really dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These brownies are a bit more dense than I expected, but they're still delicious. I think I'll try using a different type of rye flour next time.

These brownies are a bit more dense than traditional brownies, but I really liked the texture. They're also not as sweet, which I appreciated.
