Notes
Don't over bake! 25 minutes is perfect in my oven. If over baked, these will be dry.
This recipe makes a really big batch of brownies. If you want to make a smaller batch, cutting each amount in half and cooking them in a 9x13 pans works really well Author: Mallory Schlegelmilch

Three cups of sugar seems excessive for guilt free brownies.
Hi Janet, that’s for the frosting. It’s quite a bit of frosting needed to cover a cookie sheet (ours are the size of half a jelly roll pan), but you’re always welcome to skip the frosting or make a frosting recipe you like that has less sugar.
Lots of questions on this recipe:
I would love to know how many cups of whole grain Einkorn flour is equivalent to 375 gms to make this recipe a bit easier. Does anyone have that info handy? Or does the recipe turn out poorly if the flour measurement is less than precise?
Will the brownies have a nice crunchy top like regular brownies ?
Why does the recipe call for both coconut sugar and cane sugar?
Hi Janet, 375g of whole grain einkorn flour is about 3 3/4 cups. The top does end up being a little crunchy (it’s not the thin crinkly top like boxed brownies). We coconut sugar because it is healthier, but it’s molasses-y so we use some cane sugar as well. It’s a similar reason you might use brown and white sugar in a recipe.
What size pan for this recipe? A half sheet?
Yes a half sheet pan is good. For context, if you half the recipe, a 9×13 will work.
How do you convert grams to cups of Einkorn flour?? Conversion depends on density and the flour is pretty dense
Hi Pamela, for whole grain einkorn flour a cup equals about 100g.
Can you make a thicker brownie by putting this full batch into a 9×13? If so, any idea how long to bake? Thank you!
Hi Debbie, we haven’t tried that. You would probably want to lower the oven temperature and bake a little longer. If it looks like the edges are getting overdone before the middle is done, I’d suggest covering with tinfoil.
I baked these for 25 mins in a glass 9×13 dish. They came out soupy in the middle with the edges cooked. I thought it would firm up but even after a while it was still soup. Don’t get me wrong, I love fudgy brownies over cake brownies but this seems too raw. Did I do something wrong or is there something missing in the recipe? I did notice that in the instructions it says to mix in salt but the ingredients never listed salt in the brownies so I had to guess at how much to add. I added about a tsp. Might want to fix that.
Hi Angelica, it’s possible that your oven runs hotter than ours so you might consider decreasing the temperature and baking longer. You also may need to add a little more flour. If you notice this happening, you can also cover with foil to prevent the edges from overcooking while giving the middle more time.
