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 .

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! 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.
