Gluten Free Carob Brownies


My mom first made these brownies last Fall for a family supper, and they were good but I knew I could make them better. My mom's recipe turned out more cake like and I prefer fudgier brownies. I made a few changes to the recipe and came up with a brownie recipe that everyone loves. The best part? No one could tell they are gluten and chocolate free!

Gluten Free Carob Brownies
1/2 cup gluten free flour blend
6 tbsp. carob powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup sugar (I used 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup white sugar)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup carob chips
Optional: nuts, chocolate chips

Mix all ingredients together and pour batter into a greased baking pan. I added some carob powder to the pan to prevent sticking as well. The batter will be thick. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees F in a metal pan or at 325 degrees F in a glass pan. They are done when a toothpick comes out clean.
