Serves: 9
Ingredients
  • 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • ¼ cup salted butter
  • 1 cup spelt flour*
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1½ ounces dark chocolate, roughly chopped
  • flake sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a 9-inch square dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a small saucepan, melt the brown sugar and butter together until it reaches the consistency of wet sand. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside to cool.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
  4. Once the butter mixture has cooled, stir in the egg, vanilla, and bourbon. Stir in the flour mixture until well combined. Stir in the dark chocolate.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly into the lined baking dish. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. (18 minutes was the perfect bake time for me.)
  6. After removing brownies from the oven, sprinkle with flake sea salt.
Notes
*Spelt flour is a great whole grain flour that adds a slightly nutty bite to these brownies. Feel free to sub the flour of your choice.

For nicely sliced brownies, allow them to cool completely before slicing. For happiness, eat while warm, topped with ice cream.
