Can I replace plain flour with wholemeal when making brownies?

No you cannot, it's really nasty tasting. Whole wheat flour will make your food dry and grainy. Sometimes it can be a substitute for bread, if you make half and half. But do not use all whole wheat flour unless the recipe specifically asks for it.
YES You can substitute WW-flour but not 100% about 1/4 of the flour the recipe calls for can be substituted. It actually gives most recipe a nutty essence of flavor. It also is a healthier choice. WW flour substitute to the 1/4 WW to 3/4 all purpose is Delicious in baked goods like banana bread, pumpkin bread, apple cake, spice cake those types of baked goods are the best. I always add a spoon full of wheat germ to any packaged baking mix that is not whole wheat just to try and put back the things in flour that are good for you.

∙ 15y agoYes, I do it all the time. They'll be a little dryer and coarser so watch the cook time. The great "They" say you should use half all purpose and half wheat to maintain normal texture but I use 100% and it works fine just different taste and feel than traditional.

∙ 14y agono!!!!trust me, its not very good. you will end up with a very unpleasing texture. if you really want whole wheat flour you have to go half whole wheat and half all purpose.

∙ 12y agoIn most recipes you can use up to a third whole wheat without much difference. With most cookies you could probably use half whole wheat and still have a decent cookie.

YES! You most certainly can! Just remember that when using whole wheat flour, you will need more than the stated amounts of liquid and will need to let the dough rest and absorb the extra liquid. I make homemade whole wheat bread that's just as light and fluffy as store-bought bread, and it tastes better. Cooking and baking with whole grains does take a bit of a learning curve, but it's much healthier and tastes better. You can find a lot of help on the interwebs for whatever you're wanting to make.
