    I just tried the recipe with some substitutions as I do not like the aftertaste. I did not want to add the sweetener so I used vanilla instead of plain yogurt and added a scoop chocolate protein powder. I also added a pinch of pure stevia.

    I could only wait so long for it to cool so when I cut it it was still warm. The consistency is good. Chewy. It's a bit bitter but that's because I did not add a lot of sweetener. I was saving a Klondike ice cream bar as a treat and I had it when the brownie on top. Yumm. The bitter from the brownie disappeared and and the bar actually tasted better with the brownie than without.

    Aldi Fit & Active - Vanilla Nonfat Yogurt, 0.75 cup
    Aldi Friendly Farms - Unsweetened All Natural Vanilla Almond Milk, 2 fl oz
    Hersheys - Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, 0.5 cup
    Aldi-Millville - Old Fashioned Oats, 40 grams (1/2 Cup Dry)
    Eggs - Whole, raw, 1 large
    Nestle's Chocolate Chips-semi-sweet 1 tbs
    Fit 15 - Protein Powder, 1 Scoop
    Baking powder, 1 tsp

    Sliced into 9 pieces

    Per Serving: ............ 65 .............2 ...................4.................. 27

    So I just tried these... with what I had on hand.. here's what I used...

    142g Dannon Greek Yogurt Light & Fit Vanilla
    60ml Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
    40g Nestle Toll House Cocoa Powder
    40g Quaker Old Fashioned Oats
    20g Splenda Sugar Blend
    47g Whole Large Egg
    3g Baking Powder
    >1g Salt

    Servings: 9
    Calories: 58
    Carbs: 9g
    Fat: 1g
    Protein: 3g

    To be honest... they came out flat and tasted less than stellar. Hubby took one bite and said it's disgusting. I ate a whole square. It was... okay... but not something I'd eat again. It was worth a shot but it left me pretty disappointed.

    You can't make substitutions and expect it to be good. The original recipe on the website clearly states not to use Splenda. You have to use sugar or something that pours like it (like Stevia).

    The recipe says: (or any natural/stevia based sweetener that pours like sugar)

    Did I do something wrong? I made these and they were unbearable. I didn't have Stevia so I used Splenda, which always tastes OK when I use it in other desserts such as banana bread, pumpkin pie, pudding, etc. The other parts of the recipe I followed to a T.

    HEY EVERYONE!! Before making this recipe, you HAVE to read the blog post. Everything you do in baking matters. You can't just substitute things and expect them to be perfect. The blogger that posted this recipe says you can NOT using anything but something that pours like real sugar. If you add real sugar, the calorie count goes up to 92. Still not bad!

    For those followers who are really into numbers and nutritional data I ran the recipe through a nutritional analysis and came up with a slightly different number... 52.5 calories each if cut into 9 small squares. Being predisposition for diabetes, I run this analysis on most recipes to get the sugar counts.

    Is there a link for the tool that you used?

    Made them with real sugar. Yum! Next time I'll try stevia but I'm not too sure I'll like them that way.

    Just made these today with real sugar instead of Stevia. I've been eating too much fake sugar lately with all those 0 calorie sodas. The calorie count went up to 92 with real sugar. (Everything else I kept the same). They were pretty good for what is in them! They aren't perfect brownies, really gooey and a little bitter. But honestly, when you put whip cream on top, I barely notice. I have to keep in mind that they are low calorie brownies, if that makes sense. The taste reminded me of chocolate mousse. Pretty good!
