Easy recipe for sprouted flour brownies (with gluten-free option) that uses nourishing ingredients for a healthier treat than boxed versions and a wholesome taste your family will love.
Without a doubt, the brownie is the greatest American contribution to the world of pastries.
I’ll never forget how big my husband’s eyes got when he first tasted one back in the 1980s. Being from Australia, he had never had a brownie before!
Believe it or not, I used to ship batches to him across the Pacific when we were dating!
Expensive but worth it!
Who could resist someone who ships you brownies across the world?
Healthy Brownies?
To make the best brownies ever, forget the boxed brands at the store.
You can make your own sprouted version with whole ingredients very easily and quickly at home.
I like to serve sprouted brownies topped with a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream and some chopped soaked nuts.
To make it into a brownie fudge sundae, add homemade whipped cream topping and no-cook chocolate syrup too.
No restaurant versions I’ve tasted anywhere come close to being as yummy. And, you don’t pay for it later with a stomach ache!
This is a lavish treat that you can feel good serving your family for special occasions. Our tradition is to enjoy a pan during the Superbowl.
Gluten and Grain-Free Option
If you are gluten sensitive or Celiac, substitute a sprouted flour gluten-free blend (I use this brand) 1:1 for the ancient grain flour in the recipe below.
A more budget-friendly approach is to make your own sprouted flour. These tips for mixing gluten-free flour for baking once you’ve germinated and ground the grain can help too.

Recipe Notes
Substitute carob powder for cocoa powder if desired. If using carob, add 2 tsp chocolate extract.
These were very dry and crumbly. Too much flour I think. I followed the recipe exactly. Also, there is not enough batter to fill a 9 x 13 pan. I used a 9×9.
To try…. Mmmm
My family goes wild over these. Truly bonkers. I’m not kidding.
I just mixed together the dry ingredients and realized that this would make a nice “mix” to take to a hostess for a party in a canning jar with a ribbon. Granted the flour wouldn’t be freshly ground, but it would still be a zillion times better than those box mixes that people buy in the grocery store.
I was going to make an upside-down apple ricotta cake but after seeing this, I think I’ve changed my mind! 🙂
Do they come out looking like that picture? Really, I’d actually like to know if they do!

Would you be able to make these in an 8X8 pyrex instead of 9X13?
These sound so yummy! I have Celiacs and would like to make a gluten free version. Do you know of a good flour I could substitute?
Is there an egg substitute for this recipe?
