I have been looking for a Brownie that is low carb. I found this recipe and am wondering if anyone has tried it and if so, what do you think of it? Some of the ingredients are expensive, so I don't want to try it and find out it tastes like cardboard!

Thanks!

    Just pulled it up. They look yummy! What us erythritol and where do you get it? I can't find flax sees meal here in this tiny Tennessee town. Everyone on MFP tells me they get it at Walmart but I can't find it at this one! If you make them, let me know what you think!

    Erythritol is the sugar in stevia plants or Truvia.

    Those sound good. You should look up black bean brownies. Those are good too!

    No, erythritol doesn't come from stevia plants. It's a naturally-occurring sugar alcohol or polyol. Truvia is a combination of erythritol and processed stevia.

    I make brownies with a similar recipe, using almond flour instead of flax meal. It tastes pretty good, kind of a crumbly texture. I may have to try the flax-seed version.

    Thank you all! I can get the powdered erythritol from Amazon, but it is expensive. Will keep trying!

    I tried these, they made me hungry. Not sure if I made the right.

    Whoops...did you mistakenly substitute an ingredient?
