Carob Brownies Recipe

Indulge in these intensely rich and fudgy carob brownies! Dense, moist, and deeply chocolatey (without the chocolate!), these brownies are more fudge-like than cake-like. A cherished family recipe passed down, these brownies are best served chilled, perhaps with a dollop of whipped cream. Perfect for a special occasion or a delightful treat any time. This recipe is inspired by a classic from the "Deaf County Country Cookbook."

How to Make Carob Brownies

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup carob powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large egg yolks, ½ cup molasses, ½ cup vegetable oil, ¼ cup water, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended).
  6. In a clean bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Do not overbake!
  9. Let the brownies cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. For best results, chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
