Carob Brownies (GF, dairy free)

This recipe makes me think of my Grandma Ginny.  Wish she were her to share these tasty morsels with.  She'd love them.  Here's to you grandma! 

Ingredients:

2/3 C Carob chips

5 TBS Coconut oil

Heaping 1/2 C Raw sugar 

2 Eggs

1 tsp Vanilla extract

2/3 C Blanched almond flour

2 TBS Carob powder

1/2 tsp Baking powder

1/4 tsp Salt

Carob chips

Chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350.  Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.

In a quart size pan, melt 2/3 C Carob Chips and 5 TBS Coconut oil.  Remove from heat when it is mostly melted but not all the way. Stir and let cool for 5 min.  Mix in heaping 1/2 C Raw Sugar. Then add in 2 eggs. The mixture should become thick and gooey.  Add 1 tsp Vanilla extract.

In a bowl mix together, 2/3 C Blanched almond flour, 2 TBS Carob powder, 1/2 tsp Baking powder, 1/4 tsp Table salt. Add to liquid mixture.

Mix in Carob chips and Chopped pecans to taste.

Pour into pan and spread evenly. Bake 20-25 min or until just barely done.  Toothpick should come out mostly clean.  Let cool.  Enjoy!
