Cook's notes

Beware that most carob chips use hydrogenated oils. Sun Organic has organic, barley malt sweetened, non-hydrogenated carob chips if you cannot find them at the health food stores.

Agave syrup is a sweetener found at most health food stores. It is metabolized more slowly in the body so you do not get a "sugar rush." If you cannot find it, use light honey.

Ingredients

1 1/3c soy flour
2 c whole wheat pastry flour
1T baking powder
1/2 T vanilla
1/2 c safflower or canola oil
1/2 c agave syrup
3 eggs
1 1/3 c finely chopped pecans
1/2 c carob chips
