Carob Walnut Brownies

Makes 8-9 Brownies

4 tablespoons soy margarine

2 ounces sweetened carob chips

8 ounces dark unsweetened carob chips

1 cup fructose

2 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon sea salt

8 tablespoons bread flour

1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Lightly coat an 8x8x2-inch baking pan with soy margarine, dust with flour, and set aside.

Melt the margarine, both kinds of carob chips in a double boiler over medium heat; remove from heat. In a large bowl, using a hand whisk, beat in the oil and sugar together until combined. Stir in the vanilla and salt. Add the carob mixture and stir until just combined. Stir in the flour and nuts.

Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in the pan on the wire rack.

Avoid over beating the batter and overbaking the brownies, so they'll turn out nice and moist!

I used the 2 tablespoon of vegetable oil (for Vegans) to replace the 2 eggs. That choice is yours!

Also some have told me that they have added to this recipe 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder or less!! Again your choice!!
