Carob Buckeye Brownie

Fudgy Carob Brownie Instructions

Prep pan: Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
Mix wet: In a medium bowl, whisk together melted carob, coconut oil, and allulose until smooth and glossy.
Add eggs + vanilla: Whisk until thickened and satiny.
Fold dry in: Add flour, salt, and baking powder; stir until no streaks remain. Do not overmix.
Spread into pan and bake 20–24 minutes until edges are set and center is just slightly soft. Cool completely.

Peanut Butter Buckeye Layer Instructions:

Beat everything together until creamy and spreadable.
Spread over the cooled brownie base evenly.
Chill 20 minutes to set slightly before adding the ganache topping.

Ganache Toppping Instructions

Heat coconut cream until the mixture begins to simmer. Do not boil.
Add carob chips into a heat safe bowl.
Pour coconut cream over carob chips. Do not stir yet, and let stand - 3- 5 minutes to allow the chips to soften.
From the center of the bowl begin to whisk the mixture to fully incorporate until silky.

Assembly Instructions

Pour warm ganache topping over the peanut butter layer. Tilt to evenly coat.
Top with chopped or whole peanuts.
Chill 1–2 hours until set. Cut into squares with a warm knife.

Tips:

For extra fudgy texture, bake just until the center barely sets and chill before slicing.
Sprinkle a few flaky sea-salt crystals on top before chilling for a Buckeye upgrade.
Keeps refrigerated up to 7 days or frozen for 2 months.
