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!!!
