Wow...this sounds great! I love brownies...mmmmmmmmm!!
This sounds like a great recipe. However, the carb count can be signicantly reduced by susbsituting Soy Nut butter for peanut butter. Also, according to experts like David Mendosa (www.mendosa.com), the carbs in Splenda and in eggs have no effect on blood sugar. I haven't recalculated the carb count yet, but this is how I modified the recipe:
LOW CARB PEANUT BUTTER & CHOCOLATE BROWNIE TREAT
2 ounces cream cheese
1 tablespoon natural peanut butter soynut butter (Tastes just like peanut
butter, but contains only ½g carbs per tablespoon. Brand is “I. M. Healthy”.
Sold in the organic foods aisle of supermarkets, or www.soynutbutter.com)
1 tablespoon butter
1 egg (0 carbs)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons granular Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda (0 carbs)
1 tablespoon cocoa
Thanks for the recipe. I can't wait to try it.
Thanks for the great re-write of the recipe, Larry!
