W is for Whole Wheat Brownies

Welcome to Day #23- the letter W.  We are almost there!  This has been quite the challenge.  :-)

Today, I am sharing an oldie, but goodie, Kiddo #4's Whole Wheat Brownies.  Look how little she looked just a few years back!

Whole Wheat Brownies (adapted from Sesame Street Yummy Cookies cookbook)

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350.  Grease an 8-inch square pan.  Stir the flour, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.  Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat.  Add the sugar; stir for 4 minutes or until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.  Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cocoa.  Beat in the eggs and vanilla until well blended.

Stir in the flour mixture until blended.  

Stir in the chocolate chips.  Spread the batter in the pan.  

Bake for 16-20 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean.

Enjoy! (we certainly did!)
