Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Carob powder
- 1.25 cups Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the carob powder, almond flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Add the eggs and whisk until the wet ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula or whisk until a smooth batter forms. If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22–25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing into 9 squares.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
