Low Carb Double Chocolate Walnut Brownies Recipe

Prep: 30 min

Inactive: 1 hr

Cook: 40 min

Yield:25 servings

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 tablespoons wheat bran, or oat bran
• 1 1/4 cups plus 1/2 tablespoon soy flour
• 4 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 2 cups sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 5 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon no sugar added vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• Low Carb Chocolate Frosting, recipe follows
• Special Equipment: 8-inch square baking pan

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Spray pan with nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray. Set aside. Mix wheat bran and 1/2 tablespoon soy flour together and sprinkle evenly over the inside of the greased pan, also coating the sides.

Place the unsweetened chocolate and butter in a steel bowl and melt over a saucepan of simmering water. Whisk in 1 cup sugar substitute and 1/4 cup heavy cream. Once thoroughly blended, turn off heat and keep warm until needed.

With an electric mixer on high, beat the eggs, 1 cup sugar substitute and the vanilla extract just until blended. Reduce to low speed and then blend in the chocolate mixture.

With a wooden spoon, mix in the baking powder, 1 1/4 cups soy flour, walnuts, and 1/4 cup heavy cream. Spread evenly into the prepared pan and bake on the center rack for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (Do not over-bake or brownies will be dry and hard.) Cool completely before frosting with low carb chocolate frosting. Cut into 5 rows by 5 rows to make 25 pieces.

Low Carb Chocolate Frosting:

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (not melted)
• 
  
• 5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 
  
• 1 cup sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)
• 
  
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 
  
• 1 teaspoon no sugar added vanilla extract
• 
  
• Few drops hot water, as needed, to thin consistency

Place all ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk until well combined. Use to frost brownies, but make sure brownies are completely cooled, or the butter in the frosting will melt.

Strawberry Lemon Yogurt Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature (if you use unsalted, add another 1/2 teaspoon of salt)
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 8 ounces plain Greek yogurt
• 12 ounces (about 2 cups) fresh strawberries, diced

GLAZE

• 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
• 1-2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan and set it aside.

1) In a bowl, stir together flour, baking soda and salt. Mix in the lemon zest and set aside.

2) With an electric mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in lemon juice and vanilla extract until incorporated. Alternate beating in the flour mixture and the yogurt – starting and ending with flour – and mixing just until incorporated. Gently fold strawberries into the batter.

3) Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 70-75 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

4) Allow to cool 25 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Once cooled, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl. Drizzle glaze over top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides.
