Cornflakes Chocolate Brownies/Cereals Choco Brownies

You might already tried cornflakes cookies, but today's recipe is completely a different one.Cornflakes chocolate brownies is definitely a must to try if you have leftover cornflakes sitting sadly in your pantry to get finished.  Yes i used leftover cornflakes for baking out some chocolate loaded brownies instead of trashing them.

Even my H used to blame me that i dont trash anything easily than giving them a second life.

Varieties of dry fruits and nuts are soaked in a thick jaggery syrup is used to flavor up this fruits loaded rich looking cake. Actually my initial idea to make this rich fruit cake was with usual ingredients as much as every year.

Finally i baked this cake with Spelt flour, jaggery syrup and olive oil.

But trust me, though i did a mistake, i seriously enjoy baking out some incredible bakes with this very ancient grains. Spelt is known as hulled wheat which is a species of wheat cultivated since a long. Spelt flour breads are important staple in few parts of Europe since bronze age. As much as like Wheat, barley and rye, Spelt is also a gluten grain. You might have know about gluten, its a protein that gives breads and other baked goodies their texture. Obviously spelt flour replace very well whole wheat or whole grain flour in most of the breads. Spelt is an excellent healthy whole grain, eating spelt in your diet gives the fiber content. Fibre is essential for healthy digestive system. Hence spelt flour may be very much helpful as a part of weight loss diet.
