Carob Molasses & Tahini Chocolate Brownies - recipe from: www.kaveyeats.com

Carob Molasses & Tahini Chocolate Brownies

Combining the classical flavours of debs bi tahini (carob molasses mixed with tahini) with chocolate in a rich, fudgy brownie.

Servings 36 brownies

Ingredients

2 large eggs
120 g Demerara or light brown sugar
120 g carob molasses
60 g unsalted butter , melted
40 g tahini
200 g plain flour
30 g cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt

Recipe Notes

Tip: For the sugar, carob molasses and tahini I suggest weighing these directly into the mixing bowl as you reach the steps where they are added. Other ingredients are best weighed out ahead.
Equipment: I use a stand mixer to make the batter but you can use an electric whisk or beat by hand, if you prefer. This recipe is for an 8 inch / 20 cm square baking tin.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180 °C (fan).
Line a 8 inch / 20 cm square baking pan or dish with parchment paper (or grease with butter), and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, beat the eggs and sugar until well combined and a little frothy.
Add the carob molasses and beat again to combine, then add the melted butter and tahini and mix until smooth.
Combine dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt) and add to the mixing bowl. Beat until dry ingredients are thoroughly incorporated; if using a stand mixer or electric whisk, start at the lowest speed and increase once most of the flour mix is folded in. This stops the dry ingredients flying out of the mixing bowl!
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly into the corners and create a reasonably smooth surface.
Bake for 20 minutes for a fudgy texture or 25 minutes for a more cake-like finish.
Remove from oven, leave to cool in the pan for a few minutes, then lift out onto a wire rack. Baking parchment makes this task easier, as you can grab the paper at the sides and lift the entire cake up and out.
Once cool, transfer to a chopping board and cut into squares. An 8 inch / 20 cm square tin divides nicely into 6 x 6 brownies.

Gingerbread Recipe

Gingerbread with Molasses

2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1- 2 teaspoon powdered ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon allspice
- 1 cup Levant Pomegranate Molasses Or Carob Molasses
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup olive oil or sunflower oil or one stick of butter softened
- 2 large or extra-large eggs, at room temperature

PREPARATION

Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat the oven to 375°F). Generously grease an 8-inch square cake pan.
Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and powdered spices in a medium bowl and mix well; set aside. Pour the molasses into a 2-cup (or more) measuring cup, add the boiling water, and stir to dissolve thoroughly. Set aside.
Place the brown sugar and oil or butter in a large bowl and mix together. Briefly beat the eggs in another bowl, then stir them into the sugar mixture. Add about 1/2 cup of the flour mixture and stir or beat in on low speed, then add about the same amount of warm molasses-water and stir. Continue to add the flour and liquid alternately, stirring or beating briefly each time. After the final addition, beat briefly (the batter will be quite liquid), then pour into the prepared pan.
Bake for 25 minutes, then lower the heat to 350°F and bake until done, for 15 to 20 minutes longer, until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 20 minutes or more. Serve from the pan.
