What is Einkorn Flour?
Einkorn is the OG wheat, considered by some scientists to be humankind’s’ first wheat. It’s an ancient grain packed with protein, fiber, and a gluten structure that’s easier on sensitive stomachs.
There is a couple of different type of Einkorn flour. This Einkorn Double Chocolate Brownies Recipe uses all-purpose einkorn flour which is light, fluffy, and very easy to bake with. It responds similarly to regular all-purpose flour.

Einkorn Brownies Ingredients
- All-Purpose Einkorn Flour – you can purchase this at Einkorn.com or try and find at your local health food store. If you would rather just use regular flour, you will only need 1 cup.
- Butter – your butter should be melted either in the microwave or in a small saucepan. You can use salted or unsalted, it’s up to you.
- Sugars – this recipe calls for a combination of both white granulated sugar and light brown sugar.
- Cocoa Powder – for the best flavor, use a high quality cocoa powder.
- Eggs – it helps make a cohesive batter if your eggs are at room temperature before adding to the mixture. If you don’t pull them out ahead of time, just run under warm water for a few minutes.
- Salt – sea salt works great.
- Chocolate Chips – I like to use milk chocolate or semi sweet. Either mini or regular will work great.
How to Make Einkorn Brownies
- Mix together the brownie batter. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, brown sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, and salt. Whisk until combined. Add the all-purpose einkorn flour to the brownie mixture and mix until combined.
- Let the batter rest. Let the brownie mixture sit for about 10 minutes to give the einkorn flour a chance to absorb the moisture.
- Transfer to a baking dish. Mix the brownie batter again, then spread into a greased 9″ x 9″ baking dish. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top.
- Bake. Bake in a preheated oven, for 30-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is soft but not liquid.
- Cool. Remove the brownies from the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting and serving. Enjoy!
Recipe Variations
- Fudgy Nutella Brownies: Swirl Nutella and chopped hazelnuts into the batter before baking.
- Salted Caramel Brownies: Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, then add a layer of caramel sauce. Top with the second half of batter then use a knife to create swirls and distribute the caramel. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt over the top just before baking.
- Mint Chocolate Brownies: Add mint extract and chopped Andes candies to the batter before baking.
- Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies: swirl peanut butter into the batter along with Reese’s Pieces, if desired.
Frequently Asked Questions
Sure! If you would rather use regular all-purpose flour, just add 1 cup instead and you can skip the step of letting the batter rest for 10 minutes.
There are just a few modifications you’ll need to make when baking with Einkorn all-purpose flour. For this brownie recipe, the main thing to keep in mind is that Einkorn flour absorbs liquid more slowly. This is why we use 1/4 extra (compared to regular all-purpose flour) and let the batter rest for about 10 minutes before baking.
For this recipe, I used a 9″x9″ pan and it took about 40 minutes to bake. If you want a slightly thinner brownie, you can bake them in a 9″ x 13″ baking dish and bake for slightly less time.
Storing and Freezing Instructions
- Room Temperature: store in an airtight container or well-covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Refrigerator: you can store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freezer: if you want to freeze your brownies, let them cool completely before transferring to either freezer bags or an airtight container. Store frozen for up to 2 months.

This Double Chocolate Einkorn Brownies Recipe is an ooey, gooey, chocolatey, homemade brownies recipe! If you’re wanting to make Einkorn brownies from scratch, this is the best brownie recipe.
I love these brownies! Our first time trying it and baking with Einkorn wheat! Excited to try all of your recipes! Thank you! They turned out wonderful and I love the density of them. I added 2 tsp vanilla. I also don’t have a brownie pan and used a 9” round cake pan and it turned out great at 45 min total bake time. Fabulous!
I baked these for 40 minutes. The edges were definitely done, but the middle was so chocolaty it was difficult to tell if the middle was cooked. I took them out and the middle is super gooey. The middle also sunk down when cooling. Not sure if it is actually completely cooked. I am at 5500 foot elevation, so I am not sure if this had something to do with the baking. Is this supposed to be so gooey in the middle, or is it possibly undercooked? It tastes incredible!!
I would say you probably need to cook them about 10 minutes longer next time. I’m sure they’re still delicious but yeah, a little more set up is good. You can also keep them in the fridge if they are really gooey and that will cut down on the gooeyness.
These were great! I used cacao powder instead of cocoa powder because that’s what I had on hand. I was worried that they didn’t have any baking soda or powder in them, but they turned out perfect!
hi! going to try these today:) to be clear though. cooking with einkorn, we would use 1.25 cups einkorn and 1 cup of all purpose flour? is that how the adjustment works, if everything else was kept the same, or is it not that simple.
No need to add both flours. Just use 1 1/4 cup einkorn flour! (If you don’t have einkorn flour, you would use 1 cup regular, all purpose flour.)
Could you use coconut oil instead of butter?
Sure! It should work great!
Love this brownie recipe. I grind my own Einkorn berries and sift out the bran. So good…they don’t stay around for long! We often make them into brownies sundaes with homemade chocolate sauce. Thanks for the yummy recipe!
