Low Calorie & Low Carb Brownies

The low calorie and low carb brownies in this recipe do not contain walnuts.  They come out almost fudge like and taste amazing fresh out of the freezer too.

I have been using this homemade low calorie and low carb brownie recipe for several months now.  This recipe makes 32 individual brownies.  If you only eat 1 a day this one recipe will last you an entire month.  I like to make a full batch which is a 9 x 13 baking dish and store the individual brownies in the freezer for the chocolate cravings.

These brownies are rich and filled with chocolate goodness that hit the spot, but it won’t set you back if you are keeping track of your calories and carbs. Once this recipe is baked and cool it has a similar texture of a real brownie, but without the extra calories and carbs in each bite.  If you are looking for a healthy brown alternative try this recipe!

Ingredients

  • 1 stick Butter or Margarine Room Temperature
  • 2 cups Erythritol powdered is best, but granulated will work too
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla
  • 4 Eggs Room Temperature
  • 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 4 oz Unsweetened Chocolate melted
  • 2 cups Flax Seed Meal
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1/3 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2/3 cup Water
  • 1 cup Artificial Sweetener

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9 x 13 baking dish.
  • Cream butter or margarine until fluffy.  Add the Erythritol and cream until fluffy (want a fluffy texture).  If you use the Erythritol granulated it will not turn out as fluffy, but the brownies will still taste good (I have done it both ways).
  • Add the vanilla to the butter mixture.  Beat the eggs into the mixture one at a time.  Add salt and cocoa powder; beat well.
  • Add the melted unsweetened Chocolate and beat until fluffy.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and mix well.
  • Pour brownie batter into 9 x 13 baking dish.  Bake for 35 minutes.  Cool and cut into 32 squares.

Notes

These taste delicious fresh, cooled, or even frozen!
