Freshly Milled Spelt Brownies

These are a perfect small batch brownie pan. Sometimes you don't need a big pan of brownies and just need a little something for a little gathering, whether it is bookclub or a bible study, or a playdate, these are quick and easy to whip up. And the black cocoa is such a rich chocolaty experience. I highly recommend having some around! I have several recipes that use it and it is delicious!
