Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 1/4 cups whole wheat pastry floue

1/2 cup unbleached white flour

1/4 cup arrowroot

3/4 cup carob powder -- roasted and cooled

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 cup canola oil

1/4 cup vanilla soymilk

1/4 cup prune puree (recipe given) OR apple butter

3/4 cup maple syrup

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup chopped almonds

 

Preheat oven to 350F and oil a 9-inch square baking pan.

Sift dry ingredients: flours, arrowroot, carob, baking powder, baking soda,

salt, and cinnamon into a medium bowl. Stir with a wire whisk to mix.

In another bowl or in a blender, mix wet ingredients: oil, soymilk, prune puree

or apple butter, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth.

Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, mix quickly but thoroughly and stir

in nuts. Spread batter into prepared pan.

Bake brownies on center rack of oven, 22 to 25 minutes, or until surface looks

puffed and dry. A skewer inserted into the center should have a few crumbs

clinging. Do not overbake the brownies. Cool pan on wire rack and refrigerate

before cutting into squares.

Tip: After cutting brownies, spread with Carob Glaze (recipe sent) and place

one whole nut on each piece. Refrigerate to set glaze.

Prune Puree: 1 cup dried pitted prunes and boiling water to cover prunes by 1

inch

Soak prunes in boiling water for 15 minutes. Puree pprunnes in a blender with

approximately 3/4 of the soaking liquid until smooth.

 

Description:

" These fudge brownies are rich, so small squares should satisfy. Wrap

and store brownies in the freezer, they defrost quickly. Carob powder

is also called carob flour. "
