- 1 can (400 ml) coconut milk

Instructions
-
- We love blending the batter for these carob brownies on high speed in a Vitamix – it creates a rich, velvety texture. Alternatively, you can mix it in a bowl by combining the dry ingredients first, then adding the wet ingredients (except for the berries and activated soda). In this case, the consistency of the brownie batter will be a bit crumbly, which also works well.
-
- After the batter is formed add the baking soda activated with lemon juice and gently mix with a spatula.
-
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper. Pour half of the batter into the dish, and sprinkle a layer of berries. Frozen berries work just fine. Then pour the remaining batter on top spreading it evenly with the spatula. The amount of the ingredients listed works well for x baking dish.
-
- Bake in the oven for about 45-50 minutes. Depending on the size and shape of your baking dish, it may take more time. Test the brownies’ doneness with a toothpick.
-
- Once ready, let the dessert cool before cutting it into squares.
