Decadent & Best Ragi Brownies also known as Finger Millet Brownies that taste just like regular brownies but a bit healthier. These brownies are made with ragi flour, eggs, butter, sugar, chocolate which turns super moist and fudgy. I have shared 2 versions of making ragi brownies - made with only ragi flour, wheat flour + ragi flour.
Preheat oven to 160 degree C (340 degree f). Line a 7 to 8 inch square cake pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Mix ragi flour, baking powder and set aside. Take dark chocolate in a heat safe bowl and melt either using a double boiler or in microwave at 10 seconds interval. Mix well until smooth, set aside to cool.
Take eggs in a bowl and use an electric beater to whip it till it gets frothy. Now Add in sugar little at a time and whip till creamy, pale and frothy.
Pour in the cooled melted chocolate, vanilla and melted butter and mix well using a spatula.
Now add in half of the ragi flour mix and fold gently using a spatula. Once the first addition is mixed, add in the remaining ragi mix and fold gently to a smooth batter.
Spoon this mixture in a parchment lined baking pan and bake for 30 to 35 mins. The top will look crusty and crinkly.
Remove from oven and cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, gently remove from pan. Cut into pieces and enjoy.
Ragi Brownies (with Whole wheat flour )
Preheat oven to 170 degree C (350 degree F). Line a 8 inch square pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Take melted butter in a bowl. Add in sugar, vanilla and cocoa powder and mix well. Now add in eggs and mix till combined. mix for at least 1 min.
Now add in ragi flour and wheat flour and fold gently until combined. Add in chocolate chips and fold gently.
Spoon this into the prepared baking pan and bake for 40 to 45 mins.
Remove and sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top when the brownies are still hot so the chocolate sticks to the brownies. Cool the brownie completely before slicing.
Once cooled, gently remove from the pan. Cut into pieces and serve.
