Ingredients

¾ cup whole wheat pastry flour or substitute with ¼ cup oat flour and ½ unbleached all-purpose flour

¼ tsp salt

¼ cup unsweetened carob powder

2 teaspoons instant coffee substitute such as Roma or Cafix

4 tablespoons maple syrup

2 tablespoons water

1/2 cup honey

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (optional) *non-alcoholic kind

1 egg replacer or 1 tbsp flax meal (mix with 3 tablespoon water to make one flax egg)

½ cup walnuts (lightly toasted and coarsely chopped)

¼ cup vegan carob chips or peanut butter chips

Directions

Prepare an 8 X 8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper. Leave an overhang on each side of the pan so you can easily lift the brownies out after they are baked.

Mix dry ingredients:  flour, coffee substitute granules, carob, and salt. Then add the wet ingredients: maple syrup, water, sugar, egg replacer mixture, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until well combined.

Stir in the walnuts and some carob chips. The batter should be thick. Line your pan with parchment paper that overhangs out the sides for easy removal. Then pour the batter into prepared pan and spread mixture out evenly. Sprinkle some carob chips over the top if you desire.

Bake the brownies in a preheated 350-degree oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let the brownies cool thoroughly. After cooling, lift the brownies from the pan. Gently lift them out of the pan with the parchment paper and let cool. Cut brownies into squares and place on a nice dish. You may substitute carob chips or peanut butter chips for vegan powdered sugar sprinkled on top of the brownies.

Bible Quotes

Psalms 34:8 

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

Spirit of Prophecy Quotes (Ellen White)

The dessert should be placed on the table and served with the rest of the food; for often, after the stomach has been given all it should have, the dessert is brought on, and is just that much too much.—Letter 53, 1898 { CD 334.3} (Ellen White, Counsels on Diet and Foods, page 334, paragraph 3)
