How to Make Whole Wheat Flax Brownies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, flaxseed meal, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk and oil, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Sprinkle with chocolate chips (optional).
  8. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
