Local Flour Spelt Brownies

1 cup unsalted butter

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1 cup sugar

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 teaspoon dark rum (optional)

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

3/4 cup Daisy Whole Grain Spelt Flour

1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chunks

1/2 cup toasted nuts (your preference, optional)

Preheat oven to 325° F.

In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder & cocoa powder together. 

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat butter & sugar with a paddle attachment for 2 minutes until creamy. 

Add the eggs, one at a time. Once combined, next add vanilla & rum. With mixer on low, add the dry ingredients to the bowl, making sure not to over mix. 

Once combined (lumps are OK), add chocolate chips and nuts (if using) with a spatula and mix a few times (over mixing dough will yield a cakey brownie that will easily fall apart when you cut it).  

Pour batter into a greased 8x8 pan. 

Bake for 30-40 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.  Make sure not to over bake these, as you want them to be fudgy! 

Makes 16 brownies.
