I like carob for carob not as a replacement for chocolate which I’ve seen done too many times. If you don’t like carob I believe you could easily subsititute cocoa powder and come out with something equally yummy.
This recipe is gluten-free, egg-free, and dairy-free if you need those things. If you don’t, you’ll still ‘em.
Carob Brownies
- 1 Cup Sorghum Flour
- 1/2 Cup Carob Powder

- 1/4 Cup Olive Oil
- 1 Cup Milk (Whatever you like Cow, Goat, Soy, Almond, whatever)
- 1/2 Cup Chopped Nuts
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9″ square cake pan.
