Method

Step 1: Prepare the Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

Whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth.

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients

Add the flour, carob powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir gently until just combined, then fold in the walnuts and carob chips if using.

Step 4: Bake the Brownies

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing into squares and serving

Notes

Carob naturally contains antioxidants and is caffeine-free, making it a popular alternative to cocoa. Walnuts add healthy fats, while homemade brownies allow you to control the sweetness and ingredients.
