Ingredients
  

For the 100% Rye Chocolate Brownies
  • 1 cup rye flour gives the brownies a unique flavor and texture
  • 1 cup granulated sugar sweetness is key for that indulgent brownie taste
  • ½ cup vegetable oil keeps the brownies moist and delicious
  • ½ cup water helps to mix everything smoothly
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips the star ingredient that makes these brownies truly decadent
  • 2 large eggs add richness and help bind everything together
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract elevates the flavors beautifully
  • ½ teaspoon salt balances the sweetness and enhances the chocolate flavor
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder helps the brownies rise just a bit

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Pan
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the rye flour, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder. Give it a good mix to combine all the dry ingredients.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips with the vegetable oil over low heat or in the microwave. Stir until smooth and set aside.
  4. Step 4: Add the melted chocolate mixture, water, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix everything until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  5. Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. You want them to be fudgy, so don’t overbake!
  7. Step 7: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan before cutting them into squares.

Notes

These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months.
