CAROB BROWNIES



Carob Brownies image

These brownies are almost fat free, low sugar and provide around 100 calories each... They have a much lighter taste than regular brownies and admittedly lack some richness but they are still delicious, especially with a tiny bit of chocolate spread to finish them off!

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 190degrees (fan) Mix together the carob powder, flour, sugar and baking powder in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the water, milk, eggs, oil and mashed bananas. Pour the wet into the dry ingredients with the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
  • Now add the chopped walnuts if using them. You could also add dark chocolate chips if you wish. At this point, if the mixture is too thick, add a little extra milk until it is looks thick but stir-able.
  • Transfer the mix to a greased, non-stick brownies tray (could use baking parchment but I didn't seem to need it).
  • Cook in the preheated oven for around 20-30 minutes - the brownies will feel firm to the touch, not wobbly like normal brownies.

CAROB BROWNIES



Carob Brownies image

These are dense, moist, and deeply carob-y. I like to serve them chilled very cold with whipped cream. They are more fudgelike than cakelike. This recipe comes from my sister who served them to me after my son was born. I believe she got this from the "Deaf County Country Cookbook."

WHOLE WHEAT BROWNIES



Whole Wheat Brownies image

I found this terrific brownie recipe on the website mightyfoods.com. Not only does it use whole wheat flour, but it calls for brown rice syrup in place of refined sugar. I've been experimenting with whole wheat brownie recipes, and so far this is my favorite. Resist the temptation to eat them right out of the oven-- both the texture and the taste are soooo much better after they've cooled/been refrigerated. If you can't find brown rice syrup in your grocery store, try the local health food store. They almost always carry it. Also, I've found that when cooking with whole wheat flour brand name counts. I prefer King Arthur Flour, but any good quality fresh flour will do. If you don't want to use straight whole wheat, go for whole wheat pastry flour or white whole wheat.

Time 35m

Yield 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3/4 cup brown rice syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
3/4 cup coarsely chopped nuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Grease an 8"x8" square cake pan.
  • In a heavy bottomed saucepan over very low heat, combine the chocolate, cocoa powder, and butter. Stir constantly until melted and smooth. Add the brown rice syrup and vanilla. Allow the mixture to cool completely.
  • Once cool, add the eggs and stir until well-combined. Add the flour and nuts (if using) and stir until almost combined. Add the salt,and gently stir until just combined, being careful not to over mix the batter.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and spread to the edges. Place in the oven on the center rack.
  • Bake, until the kitchen smells of chocolate, the center is firm to touch, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
  • Allow to cool in the pan for at least a full 10 minutes. Invert pan and remove brownies, and place on cooling rack.

Tips:

  • Use good quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the final flavor of the brownies. Look for whole wheat flour that is freshly milled, and use natural cocoa powder and carob powder.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the brownies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the brownies in a preheated oven: This will help them to rise evenly.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These whole wheat carob brownies are a delicious and healthy treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and are easy to make. The brownies are moist and chewy, with a rich chocolate flavor. They are also gluten-free and vegan, making them a great option for people with dietary restrictions.
