Einkorn brownies are decadent, fudgy, one-bowl brownies that are super simple and incredibly delicious. A few ingredients and a few minutes are all they require, making these a great choice for a simple, consistently delicious treat.
Brownies may be one of my favorite desserts. Top with some homemade ice cream, and I’m in heaven. Sometimes, you just need that one faithful recipe that you can make in a pinch to bring to a friend, or to bring to homeschool play group, or even for late night dessert after the kids go to bed.
I love sourdough brownies, but they do require planning and thinking ahead, which doesn’t always happen and isn’t always possible. These einkorn brownies really couldn’t be simpler, and they can easily be made last minute.
One bowl, ten minutes to mix up, and then allow them to bake while you clean up the kitchen. Not only will the kitchen be clean, but your house will have an amazing chocolate aroma wafting through the air.
Cooking has always been a passion of mine, but I’ve also come to truly appreciate baking. It’s the ease and simplicity of being able to pop something in the oven to bake, while continuing to multi-task other household duties, farm chores, or the needs of little ones.
Baking is rewarding and satisfying. It’s a beautiful opportunity to experience great satisfaction in your productivity, as well as another means of honing our own skills.
Baking comes with mistakes and disappointments sometimes. Fortunately, there are many people out there, myself included, who work hard to perfect a recipe so that you can try it at home and achieve a good outcome.
If you love brownies, you will most certainly love this recipe. Double chocolate, homemade brownies with a fudgy, moist texture. They are better than any box recipe, and I promise, this recipe isn’t much harder than popping open a box.

What is einkorn?
Einkorn is a type of wheat that has not been hybridized like most conventional wheat has been. It has a lower gluten content, making it easier to digest. Those that are gluten intolerant or just have some digestive issues may be able to tolerate einkorn just fine.
Unfortunately, those who have celiac will still need to steer clear.
What does einkorn taste like?
Einkorn has a very similar flavor to regular wheat, but offers an additional mild, nutty flavor.
Tips For Making Einkorn Brownies
- Chocolate chunks are way better than chips. Yes, this may just be my opinion, and chips will work just fine, but there is just something extra decadent about the chocolate chunks.
- Espresso is optional, but this addition to the brownie gives a richer chocolate flavor.
- Don’t skimp on the salt. Adding salt to baked goods helps brings out the flavor and will actually taste more sweet than if you omit it.
- You cannot substitute regular flour for the einkorn flour. Well, you could, but more liquid may need to be added as einkorn doesn’t absorb as much liquid as regular wheat.
Tools or ingredients you may need:
Large bowl
Measuring cups and spoons
Small cast iron skillet (for butter melting – optional)
9×13 baking dish
How To Make Einkorn Brownies
Gather ingredients and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt butter in a pan or dish and set aside to cool for a minute.
In a large bowl, combine sugars, butter, cocoa, salt, espresso, and vanilla; stir well.
Add eggs and mix.
Slowly fold in einkorn flour until combined. It doesn’t have to be perfectly smooth, but make sure there are no large clumps.
Fold in chocolate chunks.
Pour into a greased or parchment lined 9×13 baking dish, spreading the batter evenly throughout the pan.
Bake for 30 minutes. The edges should be starting to get crispy and the middle should be soft, but set. If you stick a toothpick in the center, it should come out a little crumbly, but not wet.

Jennifer says
Can you leave out the choc chunks/chips all together?
Lisa says
Yes, you sure can!
Cindy says
Where can I buy einkorn flour?
Chessa Budai says
Mine turned out really chunky in texture. Did I overwork the flour blending it in or was the butter too warm maybe? I mean they still taste great!
Heather Rogers says
Hi Lisa! I am experimenting with freshly milled Einkorn flour. I do not want to make it all-purpose. Would you change anything in this brownie recipe because I am not using all- purpose?
Blessings,
Heather
Kathy A says
I would like to know this as well! I have a mill but having a time finding info on how to use it in recipes.
Sylvia Stoltzfus says
I used alternative sweeteners and baked 25 minutes. These brownies were amazingly chocolaty and delicious!! This will be my go to and comforts my brain knowing there’s good flour in them. My desire for delicious, healthy and easy brownies are finally fulfilled. Thank you!!
Cheyenne says
May I ask what alternative sugars you used?
Wendy says
SO I made these brownies today! I followed the recipe exactly and added a cup of homemade marshmallows and rough chopped salted pecans with the semi sweet chocolate chips! Waiting to cool! So Rocky Road brownies will be on their way to the grandkiddos tomorrow.
Einkorn is amazing. Have a wonderful week!

Another winner! I have tried maybe around 10 of Lisa’s recipes and have been pleased with almost all of them. What I really appreciate about her recipes is their no fuss simplicity and wholesome ingredients. As a mom of 3 under 5, the simpler the better. Thanks for creating a lovely website!
Cindy says
I made this brownie recipe today in a brownie bite pan. Only change I made was to use 1tea. espresso powder instead of brewed espresso. I baked them for about 12-13 minutes. They were perfect and delicious! Thanks for a great recipe Lisa!
Kathy Black says
I absolutely LOVE these brownies. I did something one is advised to never do… I made these for the very first time for my daughter’s small family gathering for her gender reveal. They turned out perfectly! Lisa, I so enjoy watching your videos! I love your no fuss, no worries about exact measuring attitude. I followed your recipe to a tee and the brownies were perfect!
Lisa says
Wonderful! Glad you enjoyed them.
Candice says
I’ve looked everywhere on your site for the fermented style brownies that you have links for on other recipe pages, can this recipe be used?
Lisa says
This is the fermented sourdough brownies. These einkorn brownies are also delicious though and don’t need to be fermented.
Candice says
I found the fermented brownie, but the link in this post does not bring me to it.
But the one below does. Thanks Lisa.

Tressa says
These turned out AWESOME! I left out the chocolate chunks and espresso only because I didn’t have any on hand and these still were amazing!!! Thanks for this recipe!!
Lisa says
So glad you loved them!
Jessica says
Can honey/maple syrup/coconut sugar be used to replace the sugar?
Lisa says
Coconut sugar works great, but the other liquid sweeteners require a few adjustments!
Janet says
I was wondering if I can substitute the eggs ?
Lisa says
I have never tried it, but you may be able to use an egg substitute or a chia or flax “egg”.
Krystal W. A. says
Really excited about these! ‘Recently tried an old classic brownies recipe, but used my einkorn flour… and they were only okay. So I’m looking forward to your recipe that’s specifically designed for einkorn. I know your thoughtful recipes are always great.
Question though:
Could I make this recipe as-is, but in an 8×8 square pyrex? Would it just need to bake longer (any idea how long)? Or would you advise against that?
I like a thick/taller brownie, but I don’t want to mess up your great recipe either. Would love to hear your thoughts. : )
Lisa says
Maybe, I’ve never tried it, but they would definitely need to be baked longer. Not sure how much longer. I would probably start by adding 10 minutes and testing it with a cake tester or knife until it comes out clean.
