Gluten-free no-Choco Choco cookies (IC/PBS friendly) - Certified Thermomix person

One of the hardest things when you suffer from PBS is to quit cocoa things...meaning no more chocolate, no more lattes, no more brownies, etc....this was hard...until I found out I could use carob in my preparations. The good news is that carob powder can replace cocoa powder in any recipe with a ratio of 1:1.

Now I tried a first recipe to see what it tastes like, and I can say that it doesn't equal chocolate, but there is something over there that removes the feeling of disappointment and frustration. I think I'll go for the brownie soon and see what I get

This recipe is:

• Gluten free

• IC/PBS friendly

• Not vegan

• Not low carb

"I never got a chocolate birthday cake; I got a carob one. And when I went to other kids' houses, I was very covetous of things like Cheez Whiz that I'd find in their refrigerators." Amanda Marshall, Canadian Singer
