Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cup Carob powder
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1.5 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the carob powder, almond flour, coconut sugar, and salt. Stir until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until a thick batter forms. If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts for added crunch.
Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with the spatula to ensure an even bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with slight crumbs (not wet batter).
Allow the Carob Fudgies to cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack to ensure they set properly.
Once cooled, cut into 12 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for a longer shelf life.
