Carob-Honey Brownies

I was out to dinner the other night with some friends and a few of them had brownies for dessert. I watched in envy. So....I decided to make some. But since I'm also intolerant to cocoa I searched for a recipe with carob. I found this one and substituted gluten free flours for the whole wheat flour they had listed.


1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup carob powder
1 cup honey
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup oat flour
1/4 cup soy flour
1/4 cup rice flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 350*F
2. Blend together melted butter, carob powder, and honey in a bowl. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well.
3. Add a sifted mixture of whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt; mix well. Stir in chopped walnuts. Pour into a greased 8-inch baking dish.
4. Bake for 40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
