Coconut Carob Brownie Bars

Coconut Carob Brownie Bars with a layer of carob brownie, topped with a sweet layer of coconut, these ooey gooey brownies are sure to please the coconut lover in your life.

These delicious little bites are from Mother’s Day Brunch 2013.

Mom loved these! She’s a coconut fan, so these were perfect for her. I doubt these lasted very long in her house.

I made the brownie part with carob powder because my mom can’t have chocolate, but feel free to change the carob powder to cocoa powder if you’d like.

I was surprised at how soft these turned out. Tasty, but I think they’re better eaten with a fork than with your fingers.

I’m contemplating doubling the brownie part and making “truffles” out of it. I really liked the brownie part, and that’s really a no bake part which is always good!

Ingredients

Brownie Layer

• ½ cup almond flour
• ¼ cup raw pecans
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons coconut oil melted
• 2 tablespoons carob powder
• ½ tablespoon mild tasting honey

Coconut Layer

• 5 tablespoons canned coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 cup shredded coconut unsweetened

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.

Brownie Layer
