Title: Re: Almost like the real thing carob brownie recipe! Post by larken on 06/17/12 at 10:28:06 Chocolate is one of my worst triggers, so I was sooo happy to discover that this carob brownie recipe is pretty darn close to the real thing! Even my husband agreed that it was hard to tell the difference. I have tried other carob brownie recipes that were not so good and now that I've found a good one, I wanted to share it. My substitutions included veggie margarine instead of butter, which is a trigger for me, and dark brown sugar instead of light brown (this seemed to make them richer). MMmm - enjoy! Just a warning though, I've eaten almost half the pan today. It's been way too long since I had anything this close to chocolate! Carob Brownies 5 tbs carob powder 1/2 cup butter, softened 2 eggs 1 cup packed light brown sugar 1/2 cup almonds - processed into a fine meal 1/4 cup rice flour 1/2 tsp sea salt 1/4 tsp baking soda 2 tsp vanilla extract -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees -Grease and 8X8 pan -In a bowl combine the dry ingredients and whisk -In a bowl combine the wet ingredients and mix -Add the wet to the dry ingredients and mix until combined, the batter will be thick -Spread into the greased pan -Add crushed almonds on top (optional) -Bake in 350 degree oven for 33-35 minutes - do not over bake! -Cool in pan on a wire rack -Remove from pan (chill before cutting so they don't break apart) (I'm not sure of the original source, since I discovered it through a Google search for "carob brownies" and it was posted on an interstitial cystitis forum, original source unknown.)[/quote] |
