How To Get Crinkly Tops On Your Brownies
The secret to the crinkly tops on your brownies is to whip your eggs and sugar mixture before adding the flour until you hit the “ribbon stage” and folding in your melted butter while it’s still hot. Not boiling, though. These two things help by aerating your eggs in the batter and starting to dissolve the sugar.
What Is Ribbon Stage?
Ribbon stage is when you whip the eggs and sugar and it turns pale and increases in volume before you add the rest of your ingredients. You can read more about it here.

The Best Brownies Made With Fresh Milled Flour
Ingredients
- 192 grams fresh milled soft white wheat flour Aprox. 1 3/4 cup
- 1 cup butter melted, (2 sticks)
- 3 eggs
- 200 grams granulated sugar 1 cup
- 213 grams brown sugar 1 cup
- 75 grams cocoa powder 3/4cup
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup *optional mix-Ins (chocolate chips, nuts, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉ and line/spray a 9×9 pan. *See note
- Mill your flour and set it aside.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan.
- In a stand/electric hand mixer whip eggs, sugar, brown sugar, until they reach ribbon stage. It took a minute and a half on speed 6 in my KitchenAid *See note
- Next, add cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract and whip until combined.*Start slow so cocoa powder doesn't fly out.
- Add melted butter and whip until combined.
- Next, add in your flour and gently fold/mix in until combined. Remember you don't want to overmix and work the gluten.
- Pour brownie batter into prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes on the middle rack until the brownies are just set to touch. Don't over bake the brownies. They will set up as they cool. Also, gently turn pan half way through baking to ensure your brownies bake evenly. Don't deflate them. *My oven takes 36 minutes, but this may vary with different ovens and pans.Watch for the top to be set and not jiggle in the center.
- Remove pan from oven and cool on a cooling rack. Don't attempt to remove the brownies from the pan until completely cool, unless you're enjoying them with ice cream and don't care what they look like. 🙂
- Store extras in an Airtight container or plastic bag.

These are literally the most delicious and soft brownies! Taste and texture is a big deal as I want my family to accept them and they couldn’t even tell I used fresh milled flour. I added chocolate chips and a shot of expresso to add a richer cocoa flavor. I will be adding this to our favorite dessert recipes. Planning to make them for my husbands office.
I’m so happy to hear that! Your husband’s co-workers are going to love you!
Does this recipe double well?
I haven’t done a double batch, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t! If you’re adding a double batch to the same pan and not separating just watch your baking times.
Great, thanks! I’ll let you know how it turns out!
These were so good! Very sweet! And gooey. I added a handful of chocolate chips. My family loved them! Thank you for sharing!
Happy to hear your family enjoyed them! <3
These came out AMAZING!!!! These are the best brownies I have ever made, and I have been searching for the best brownie recipe for YEARS! So decedent and moist. I double the recipe, like I had asked about, and cooked them in a 9″ x 13″ pan for just under an hour at 350 F. They came out about an inch and a half in thickness, very moist but not gooey. This recipe is going in the vault. Thank you!
So happy to hear! Thank you for sharing your results!
Thank you for sharing! I do not have a 9×9 pan and was wondering if I could double the recipe and use my 9×13 pan. I am going to give it a try 🙂
That should work!
These brownies were delicious. Chewy, soft and crinkly on top. I did add the optional 1 cup of chocolate chips. The recipe came together easily and nearly as quick as a box mix. I will definitely be making these again.
So glad you enjoyed them! Thanks for the feedback.
LOVE this recipe!! Better than the Ghirardelli box mix! Such a hit
Thank you! Glad you enjoy them!
I didn’t have fudgy texture. Mine came out dry and cakey. Followed recipe exactly as written. But I did have question, what cocoa powder did you use? I have Dutch processed and wondered if that may be the culprit. Please advise. The flavor of these is on point and I really want to be successful with it. I also used the soft wheat, could I use a wheat that is more like an AP flour protein content? Thanks so much. Love your site….
I used Hershey’s cocoa powder in these. It could be the cocoa or could it be possible they were a little overbaked resulting in a drier texture? I haven’t used anything other than soft white so I’m not sure how it would change them. Hope they work out the next time you try them!
Dutch cocoa has a higher fat content and generally won’t cause brownie to be dry, instead give more of a moist texture and is often a preferred choice for brownies.
Hi! Can you tell me how many cups of berries you used to get the right about of milled flour?
For soft white berries 1/2 cup of berries = about 1 cup of milled flour. So it would be approx. 7/8 cup of berries.
Thank you for the quick response!!
I made these with whole grain einkorn and sucanat for the sugar and they were incredible! Thanks for the recipe!
That flavor combo sounds delicious! Glad you enjoyed them!
These are SO good! I used some coconut oil along with the butter and they tasted very much like the Ghirardelli mix I used to use. Great recipe! Thank you so much!!
Oh, yum! Glad you enjoyed them!
These were the best brownies, so good and made even more nutritious with the fresh milled flour. Before I was using store bought white whole wheat flour.
Glad you enjoyed them! Thanks!
Absolutely amazing! I doubled the recipe and used a 9×13 pan. It is a thicker batter than store-bought box kind but it but turned put perfectly. I added the chocolate chips.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed these!
Hi!! Do you think these could turn out okay with coconut oil for the butter? My daughter isn’t able to have dairy right now!
I haven’t tried them with coconut oil, but I think it should work.
