Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw carob powder
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup (or raw honey for non-vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Sea salt
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the raw carob powder and sea salt. Whisk together to remove any lumps and ensure an even texture.
Add the melted coconut oil to the dry ingredients, and stir until smooth and glossy.
Mix in the maple syrup (or raw honey) and vanilla extract, continuing to stir until the mixture is fully combined and has a pourable consistency.
Line a baking sheet or flat surface with parchment paper. For bark, pour the mixture onto the parchment and spread it into an even layer about 1/4 inch thick. For chips, use a piping bag or a small spoon to create small dot shapes onto the parchment.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 20-30 minutes or until the carob has fully hardened.
Once firm, break the carob bark into pieces or remove the carob chips from the parchment as needed.
Store in an airtight container in the freezer or refrigerator to keep the carob solid and fresh. Enjoy as a snack, use in recipes, or share as a healthy homemade gift!
