There’s just something about eating a warm brownie. A nice crumbly top and cake consistency on the inside. I have an option below if you like them ooey gooey. Because it’s February, I made these brownies in the shape of a heart. I’ll go into all the details below. I’m excited to share my Simple Brownies Using Fresh Milled Flour.

How To Make Brownies Using Fresh Milled Flour
- Preheat oven to 350 ºF.
- Line your baking dish with parchment paper or grease with coconut oil/butter.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar and oil.
- Add the water and vanilla.
- Now, add the flour. Stir until blended well.
- Combine the baking powder, cocoa powder and salt and stir all that together.
- Add the chocolate chips and stir until thoroughly blended.
- Pour the batter into the pan, using a spatula to spread it all evenly.
- Bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
- Allow the brownies to cool. Now, let’s cut them into a heart.
- You can cut the brownies into a square first and then press the heart cutter down. Another option is, I take the cookie cutter and go closest to the edge of the pan. Then, I just work my way down the sheet of brownies. Push down with the cutter and lift up. Gently press the brownie out of the cutter.
- Eat as is or frost them and add some sprinkles for fun.

Are These Brownies Ooey Gooey?
I made these brownies using fresh milled flour more of a cake consistency. Because I used a cookie cutter to make the hearts, I needed a thinner brownie. The height of the heart cutter wasn’t tall enough to go through a brownie that was taller and fudge like. The cake brownie is delicious plain or you can even add a homemade icing to the top of them. These are perfect to put in your
How to Make These Brownies Fudge Like
If you like your brownies more fudge like, you can easily make them that way. With just a few tweaks, you will have homemade fudge brownies that will melt in your mouth in no time.
- Instead of 3 whole eggs, add 2 eggs and 1 egg yolk. This will give them that fudge texture you are looking for.
- Melt your chocolate chips – Fill a saucepan with water. Place a heat-safe bowl (that’s bigger than the pan) on top of the pan. Bring your water to a boil. Meanwhile, add your chocolate chips and 2 tbsp of butter to the bowl. Stir together until it’s all melted. Add to the wet ingredients and stir together until nice and creamy.
- Only use 1 cup of flour. The more flour will give that cake consistency.
- Omit the baking powder. I only used it in the cake brownie recipe to assist with the rise. The fudge brownies will not require it.
Can a Chocolate Baking Bar Be Used?
Yes, I love the richness of a good quality chocolate bar. Just take your chef’s knife and rough chop the chocolate. It will come out as flakes. Adding this to the batter will give good even chocolate throughout the brownie.

FAQ
Yes, feel free to substitute all-purpose with my fresh milled flour. Instead of 1 cup, back it down to 3/4 cups of flour.
I think they would be so cute for Christmas, using a tree cookie cutter. You could also make them for Easter, using a baby chick or cross cookie cutter.
I used a stoneware brownie pan (9×13) I’ve had for 20+ years from Pampered Chef. Other options would be glass (you might need to bake a little longer). A metal 9×13 would work as well. If you use a larger pan, the brownies won’t be as tall.
Once cooled, store them in a glass container with a tight fitting lid for 2-3 days. They can also go in the freezer for 1-2 months.

Fudgy Brownies Made With Fresh Milled Flour
Equipment
- 8×8 Metal Pan
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup Fresh Milled Flour (I used soft white wheat flour)
- 1/4 cup Cocoa Powder (unsweetened)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 1/4 cup Coconut Sugar
- 1/2 cup Grass-Fed Butter
- 2 Eggs (Large)
- 1 Egg yolk
- 1-2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 10 oz Chocolate Chips (I used ones that were 55% cacao)
- 2 tbsp Grass-Fed Butter (to melt with the chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Line your baking dish with parchment paper or grease with coconut oil/butter.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar and butter. Stir by hand and cream together. If you are using a stand-up mixer put it on the 2-4 setting.
- Add the vanilla extract.
- Now, add the flour. Stirred until blended well. This may take a few minutes since it’s all by hand (unless you are using a mixer).
- Melt 5 oz. chocolate chips/butter either on the stove using a double boiler method or in the microwave. When it's all melted, add it to the above ingredients.
- Combine the cocoa powder and salt. Stir/mix all that together until the ingredients are mixed well.
- Add the remaining chocolate chips and stir until thoroughly blended.
- Pour the batter into the pan, using a spatula to spread it all evenly.
- Bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
- Allow the brownies to cool.
- You can cut the brownies into squares once they have cooled.
- Eat as is or with a side of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- If you use a larger pan, like a 9×13, you’ll get more brownies but they won’t be as tall.
- These Fudgy brownies can be mixed by hand in just a mixing bowl.They can also be made in a stand-up mixer. I use the paddle attachment with the rubber spatula and start at the #2 setting and gradually go to #4, if needed.
- Just double the recipe if you need to make a bigger batch.
