Ingredients:
- 2/3 c garbanzo bean flour (besan)
- 4 Tbsp roasted carob powder

- 6 Tbsp butter or margarine, melted
- 2 Tbsp brewed coffee (or water)
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 c chopped walnuts

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter an 8 x 8-inch baking pan.
- Combine flour, carob, corn starch, baking powder and salt in medium bowl. Combine sugar, butter, and coffee in large bowl. Stir in eggs and vanilla extract. Stir in flour mixture and nuts. Spread a thin even layer in prepared baking pan.
