sounds good. do you know the carb count?

Carb count
Nope, the carb count didn't come with it and I didn't have time to run it. Sorry...

This sounds yummy. Do you think I could substitute almond flour instead of soy flour or bake mix?
|
Yeah, I was wondering that too. I have the soy flour but the couple of times I have used it for different things - it has not been pretty :Puke: So lets give it a try and report back hey?

Anyone try these yet? They look like the most "normal" recipe I've seen so far. It's just that the 2 cups of splenda scares me, seems like it would be sickening sweet with the splenda aftertaste. That stuff is expensive and I don't want to try it unless I see that there's been some success. I'm hoping by popping this back up to the top someone will read it and let us know if it worked. Annie

This sounds like a job for my liquid spenda mixed with liquid Cdn sugar twin. I think almond flour instead of soy too...

According to Mastercook, making this into 16 brownies would result in 10 carbs, 8 net per brownie.
Now I think this is using its standard peanut butter, so using natural peanut butter might drop it a carb as well. brobin PS, I also used granular splenda in the analysis, so liquid splenda would drop it to 5 net. |
Not sure where that carb count is coming from. I get:
Butter = 0 Splenda 2 C = 48 carbs 2 tsp vanilla = 1 carb 4 eggs = 2.4 carbs Unsweetened cocoa = 0.4 carbs/tsp, 3/4C = 37 tsp, so 15 carbs I cup Atkins bake mix = 12 carbs ----------------- Total of 78 carbs Topping: Cream cheese 8 oz = 6 1 cup heavy cream = 7.5 1/2 C Splenda = 12 1/2 C PB = 17 ----------------- Total of 43 carbs So a grand total of 121 g of carbs. Let's say you get 24 brownies in a 9x13 pan, that's 5 carbs per brownie. |
Oops, misread your post above, brobin. Thought you meant 10 carbs TOTAL, not per brownie.
This seems like a pretty expensive treat, carb-wise. |
I also used Almond flour, not baking mix as well as 16 brownies, so big ones!
I think this recipe really calls out for liquid splenda, which dramatically lowers the carb count on these babies. Two cups of grandular Spenda is just too much unless you make them very small. brobin |
