Easy Low-Carb and Carob Brownies Healthy Recipe (No Sugar, Gluten-Free)
Carob powder (or carob flour) and gluten-free flour, a versatile and nutritious ingredient, offer a range of culinary possibilities. Carob is a delicious substitute for cocoa in baked goods, and it’s caffeine-free. Naturally sweeter than cocoa and slightly nutty flavor makes it a fantastic substitute for cocoa powder in various recipes, including baked goods like brownies, cookies, and cakes. And no sugar or sugar substitute is needed.

Ingredients
3 large eggs
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 orange (184 gr, 3” in diameter)
1/4 cup coconut flour (30 gr)
1/2 cup walnuts (50 gr) (optional, for added crunch)
1/2 cup carob powder (70 gr)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
2 tablespoons almond slices (100 gr)
Directions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together coconut flour, carob powder, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a blender grind one orange with skin (without seeds). Add and mix 3 eggs until smooth.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in nuts (optional): If using chopped walnuts, fold them into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Transfer to baking pan: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle with almond slices.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and slice: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice into squares and serve.
