    Method

    • step 1

      Preheat the oven to 190degrees (fan) Mix together the carob powder, flour, sugar and baking powder in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the water, milk, eggs, oil and mashed bananas. Pour the wet into the dry ingredients with the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
    • step 2

      Now add the chopped walnuts if using them. You could also add dark chocolate chips if you wish. At this point, if the mixture is too thick, add a little extra milk until it is looks thick but stir-able.
    • step 3

      Transfer the mix to a greased, non-stick brownies tray (could use baking parchment but I didn't seem to need it).
    • step 4

      Cook in the preheated oven for around 20-30 minutes - the brownies will feel firm to the touch, not wobbly like normal brownies.

    Just made these, and I have to say YUM! I switched it about a bit to make it vegan - substituted an extra banana and a tsp of flax in place of the eggs, and used non dairy milk, they taste banana-y due to this but I love bananas so that's fine. I used a hotchpotch of flours (needed using up), but…
