brownies?

[owensmath]

Can we somehow combine the recipe for the homemade chocolates and the recipe for the cupcakes to make brownies? Or, is there already one available on here that I have overlooked? I will check Doug's cookbook, too, but I don't recall seeing it in there.

Here is a link to a recipe I found by searching for low carb brownies. Doug or Umpa, what do you think about it?

i think its very similar to my brownie recipe!!Except for the erythritol.Its not as sweet so you have to use alot more.i would use xylitol.

[owensmath]

Where can I find your recipe? Have I overlooked it on here?

[umpa]

I think I told you ,maybe it was JoAnne, I am doing a new book called The Fat to Skinny Bakery.I have been giving up a couple recipes as people need them.Your recipe you found is perfectly acceptable.

[owensmath]

Oh....okay...so we will be able to download your book in the near future? : )

[umpa]

I am working on  pies and cakes now.I am hoping to finish it this summer in North Carolina.Doug will be traveling with his books and it will give me more time when I am not working.It will be a download.

Sounds wonderful and don't forget to let me know when you're up here so I can meet you guys! : )

I made the brownies tonight! I snitched a bite when they came out of the oven. I can't wait to try them tomorrow, as the recipe says they are better the second day after they become more like a brownie texture!

Here is the link again if anyone wants it. I used xylitol instead of the sweetener given in the recipe.

Oh, and by the way, they are out of this world when they are just a little warm and topped with a small spoonful of Breyer's Carb Smart vanilla ice cream.

Breyers carb smart ice cream seems to be affecting my blood sugars....

[Doug Varrieur]

Beebs, are you eating a measured serving of 1/2 cup? What kind of affect are you having?

[beebs]

Im eating half cup but my blood sugar is always high the next morning after I eat it....

[owensmath]

WOW....the brownie recipe calls for a lot of xylitol if you substitute it for the erithrytol (however you spell that stuff!!!). I am paying for it this morning....if you know what I mean......it happens suddenly and it happens strongly and it happens frequently and THANK GOD I was already not feeling well and took the day off from teaching.....

I am wondering if we could cut back or mix it up with another sweetener that wouldn't be quite so...ummm...powerful.....

I don't want to get too graphic.

we need to find you another sweetner!How much did you put in the brownies??For how many servings??
