Ingredients

• 0.75 cup Carob powder
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Coconut sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1.5 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, sift together the carob powder, almond flour, coconut sugar, and salt. Stir until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until a thick batter forms. If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts for added crunch.

Step 5

Transfer the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with the spatula to ensure an even bake.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with slight crumbs (not wet batter).

Step 7

Allow the Carob Fudgies to cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack to ensure they set properly.

Step 8

Once cooled, cut into 12 squares and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for a longer shelf life.
