Carob Bites Recipes

SUGAR-FREE COCONUT CAROB BARS

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend to combine until completely smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
• Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more carob powder for "chocolate" flavor or sweetness, maca powder for caramel flavor, salt for saltiness, vanilla for vanilla flavor, or coconut butter for creaminess. If it appears too liquidy, add an additional 1 Tbsp (9 g // as recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size) coconut flour. You're looking for a pourable liquid, but not too watery.
• Pour into cupcake liner molds, a lined loaf pan, or silicone chocolate molds like these or these, and let cool until firm. Depending on the temperature of your home, they may solidify at room temperature. If not, carefully transfer to the refrigerator until firm. Then remove from molds and enjoy. Because coconut butter chilled has some texture, don't be worried if the tops of your bars have a bit of ridging to them - that's totally normal!
• Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for 1 month or longer. Let thaw slightly before enjoying for best texture.

CAROB BITES

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until you get a smooth and somewhat sticky mixture.
• Check and see if it needs a spoonful of water to hold together, and if you don't think it's sweet enough, then add some of your favorite sweetener.
• Pour the mixture into a bowl and using your palms, roll into bite size balls, or press the balls flat into cookies, or use molds if you want them to be a certain shape.
• Decorate them with nuts or seeds or dried fruit. I placed a goji berry on top of each piece. Enjoy! : ).
