About Ragi Brownies (Finger Millet Brownies)

Ragi Brownies is a healthy brownie recipe made with ragi flour, eggs, cocoa, sugar and butter. This is a healthy alternative for regular brownies, so kids can enjoy this.

I was recipe testing so many versions of Ragi brownies. Loved how these two versions of brownies turned out.

First one is made with only Ragi flour which turned out so moist, second one has wheat flour added with ragi flour to create slightly firm texture. Both of them tasted so good, so I am sharing both the recipe here.

Healthy and rich ragi brownies which is very easy to make but taste amazing. This ragi brownies is so good with a scoop of ice cream and chocolate syrup.

• Cocoa - the recipe doesn't needs chocolate, so it adds a hefty amount of cocoa powder.
• Butter - like all brownies, butter is melted and used to make the fudgy texture.
• Vanilla - I like to use pure vanilla extract that adds the aroma.
