Post by: joagain on March 10, 2011, 11:46:36 AM

I made these this morning so Tyler can go back and forth with the brownies for breakfast .

OMG Umpa you are the BOMB !!!!!!!! they are very good !!!!

Do you use the NOW brand instead of the other because it is so low in carbs ? Bobs gonna kill me cause I keep ordering food from Netrition . LOL But he loved your Flax Brownies so maybe he is slowly coming around .

 2 down out of the Bakery book bunch more to go . I would like for you to make me the cinnamon buns abd bring them to me please I dont think I can do those but they look so good !!!!

Hi Umpa,

I made these and agree easy to make (so few ingredients).  I actually used my Kitchenaid with the dough hook - even easier!

One question I do have is how should they be stored? 

In the book you mention they become crunchier the day after they are made but I want to be sure I store them correctly.  I prefer crunchy.

I also wonder if I could add some coconut to the recipe (just to add a little variation).  I imagine some cocoa would also create chocolate shortbread.  What do you think and how much could I add to avoid spoiling the recipe?

Many thanks.

I store them in tupperware on the counter or in fridge,but in all honesty they dont last long in my house! :D Play with the recipe and have fun!Cocoa or coconut could be added with no problem ;)

Hi Umpa,

Thanks for your reply.  Will experiment with cocoa and/or coconut and post my results.  Such a great recipe for something so low in carbs.
