Brownies

Brownies

Brownies are dense, rich, fudgy, chewy, chocolatee in taste and texture. When you bake for longer time it becomes more like a cake. The perfect texture depends upon the baking time.

Today I'm sharing a healthy brownies made with whole wheat flour and palm jaggery. You can substitute with normal jaggery / brown sugar / cane sugar.

Notes:

1 cup = 120 gms (flour)
