Why are the walnuts preferably soaked for these brownies?

Soaking walnuts can improve their texture and digestibility, making them blend more smoothly into the brownie mixture for a creamier result.

How do these brownies set without baking?

The brownies set by chilling in the refrigerator, allowing the coconut oil and other ingredients to firm up, creating a dense, fudgy texture.

Can I adjust the sweetness of the frosting?

Yes, you can adjust the amount of maple syrup in the frosting to suit your preference, adding more for a sweeter taste or less for a richer, darker chocolate flavor.

Can I use only cacao powder instead of carob and cacao?

While the recipe uses a blend of carob and cacao powder for a nuanced chocolate flavor, you could likely substitute with all cacao powder, though the taste profile might be slightly different.

How should I store leftover Double Chocolate Walnut and Oat Brownies?

Store these brownies in the refrigerator in an airtight container until the frosting has hardened, then slice and keep chilled to maintain their firm texture.
