Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw carob powder
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup (or raw honey for non-vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Sea salt
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the raw carob powder and sea salt. Whisk together to remove any lumps and ensure an even texture.
Step 2
Add the melted coconut oil to the dry ingredients, and stir until smooth and glossy.
Step 3
Mix in the maple syrup (or raw honey) and vanilla extract, continuing to stir until the mixture is fully combined and has a pourable consistency.
Step 4
Line a baking sheet or flat surface with parchment paper. For bark, pour the mixture onto the parchment and spread it into an even layer about 1/4 inch thick. For chips, use a piping bag or a small spoon to create small dot shapes onto the parchment.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 20-30 minutes or until the carob has fully hardened.
Step 6
Once firm, break the carob bark into pieces or remove the carob chips from the parchment as needed.
Step 7
Store in an airtight container in the freezer or refrigerator to keep the carob solid and fresh. Enjoy as a snack, use in recipes, or share as a healthy homemade gift!
