Ingredients

1 cup rye berries
parchment paper
1 ¼ cups whole wheat flour
½ cup rye flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
½ cup butter
½ cup soy milk
¼ cup molasses

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour rye berries into a shallow baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Cool. Place rye berries in a blender or spice grinder and blend until coarsely ground; transfer to a bowl.
Increase oven heat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix whole wheat flour, rye flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, instant coffee, and caraway seeds in a large bowl. Cut butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ground rye berries. Stir soy milk and molasses into flour mixture until combined; divide in half. Arrange dough on prepared baking dish and flatten each piece to a 1/2-inch thick circle.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cut each circle into 8 wedges. Serve warm.
