Low Carb Recipe Alert.
Today I was craving Brownies... not the dry cake kind that you see the recipe for online.. GROSS PEOPLE.. 2 Cups of Flour and 1 cup of Sugar is CALLED CAKE... not brownies..... BLAH!!
So I took off on a side adventure. Some of you who know me, know that I'm a foodie. If I hadn't gone into computers I would of became a chef and I still aspire to have my own bakery some day. Regardless I scoured whole foods for some ingredients to make a decent low carb brownie. Took a couple tries but I succeeded! 2 CARB Brownies.. That is right.. 2 CARB brownies that taste like brownies.
First Recipe is a simple one. It does have some Soy in it, this scares some people. I don't mind little amounts of soy.
Here is a picture of some obscure or items you probably don't have on hand that you will need.
Now for Brownie Recipe I.. I like to call this the DOESN'T GO STRAIGHT TO YOUR BELLY FAT Brownies..
Recipe:
Preheat oven to 350, cook 25-30 minutes in a 8X8 or 9X9 pan. 9 servings per container
1 cup Stevia
1 cup Splenda
3 eggs
1/2 cup softened margarine
1/2c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 c. flaxseed meal
1/2 c. Almond Flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup Soy Choc. Milk
MACROS: 5 Carbs per brownie, 3 Fiber per brownie.. net of 2 carbs a brownie (not small brownies either.) 6 protein per brownie, 99 cals per brownie.
Some pictures of the process and finished product:
Now onto Brownie II.. This is the ultimate low carb brownie, but at the cost of a few more calories.
1 Cup Stevia
1 Cup Splenda
3 eggs
1/2 cup Margarine
2/3 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 c. Almond Flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 serv. 1 squeeze packet Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Butter
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
Preheat over to 350. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
162 cals, 6 carbs, 4 fiber, 14 fat, 6 protein for these brownies. These look better dough wise.
Pictures of the progress and final product!!
My son LOVED THESE..
Comments from the family members:
My Son:
My son tried the brownies and told his mom.. I want a really really really big plate.
My Wife:
So I came back in to grab out the second set of brownies out of the oven and I look at the brownie pan and 4 brownies is missing out of the 9. I ate one and my wife said she ate one. I go in there and she's got a couple dollops of my vanilla protein ice cream and 2 brownies on a plate. Her reasoning, is she puts up with me, and that all together this equals one of her normal brownies.
ENJOY!!!

Why do you use both Stevia and Splenda?0

Why do you use both Stevia and Splenda?
Because Stevia doesn't brown and has moisture problems when baking. So it's always best to do half and half of Stevia with another fake sugar/real sugar when baking. Great question!0 -
