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!!!

Yep 1 cup Stevia in the raw and 1 cup splenda.. It's BROWNIES!!!! Look up a normal brownie recipe... 2 cups is fairly common. It's what makes them soooo delicious :-D0 -
Thanks for the replies guys!
For my next recipe I'm taking on chocolate chip cookies..0 -

Whole foods or trader joes, the packets are 99 cents. You can omit them and just put in a little bit of chocolate peanut butter from the store.0 -
Definitely need to bump for later. Looks yummy!0

BTW taste test wise, the 2nd brownies are better but around 60 cals more a brownie. The first ones are still pretty darn good!0
-
I do not eat low carb but I do have to eat gluten free and these both qualify. thanks. Looking forward to your chocolate chip cookie recipes :-)0

Bump - you should start a healthy food blog if you always come up with amazing recipes! I would follow! I'm always looking for low fat or low carb healthy recipes that the whole family will like! Thx0

Yum! looks good0

I love brownies!!!! One question though: Splenda gives me stomach aches, will it effect the taste/consistency if I use all stevia?0
