Beautiful Vegan Carob Brownie

Recently I have been loving Carob. Not only because of the flavor but also for its many health benefits.

 

Health Benefits Carob Powder

• Carob improves digestion 
• Carob lowers the cholesterol level in your blood
• Carob contains vitamin E which helps treating cough, the flu and anemia
• Carob tannins contain Gallic acid that works as an analgesic, anti-allergic, antibacterial, antioxidant, antiviral and antiseptic.

So instead of making this brownie with raw cacao as I would usually do I tried Carob (for the first time) and I absolutely loved it!

Beautiful Vegan Carob Brownie

What you need

1/2 cup carob powder

1/2 cup non-dairy butter 

2 large flax eggs

3/4 tsp baking powder

3/4 cup (unbleached) all purpose flour

1/3 cup walnuts

4 tbsp palm sugar 

 

What to do

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Take your baking tin and spray this with some coconut oil. Take 2 tbsp of flaxseed and combine with 6tbsp of water. Place the bowl in your fridge and let rest for about 15 minutes

Prepare the flax eggs (2tbsp flaxseed + 6tbsp water) in a small bowl and let rest in your fridge for 15 minutes.

 

Melt the butter over medium heat in a small saucepan, once melted pour this into a mixing bowl. Add the carob powder, the flax eggs, palm sugar and the baking powder and stir until the mixture is smooth. Once smooth add the unbleached flour, whisk again and gently fold in the walnuts. 

Scoop the mixture into your baking tin and place in the middle of your oven for 20 minutes. Be sure to check every 5 minutes we don't want to overcook the brownies because they will get crumbly. Remove from the oven and let rest in the tin.

 

Enjoy!
