    I am new at this, haven’t purchased any ingredients yet, trying to read and learn what, how and why. One question I have is: if you prepare a sweet i.e. chocolate cake, the exchange is a carb, so many fats and protein, then do you subtract that from your meals are where does this dessert come in to play for the daily count? Could someone please answer this.

    I’ve tried this recipe twice. The 1st time I replaced almond flour with rice flour, they came out too dry and crumbly.
    The 2nd time I followed the recipe with one change–(5 oz of greek yogurt). They came out too
    wet. Cooked an extra 15 minutes and they were still too moist.

    As directed, I used 1 tsp. of Stevia powder and 3 oz. of unsweetened chocolate (melted), along with the other ingredients. The brownies were not sweet at all, and, actually so bitter we could not eat them. Any other ideas other than using Xylitol?

      I know that Splenda is not used in this lifestyle eating plan, since everything says stevia. I have found stevia to be disgusting. I cannot imagine it making unsweetened chocolate sweet. A little applesauce as suggested would add some moisture to the brownies, unless adding some more oil is allowed.

    I made these yesterday and made them just like the recipe said to. Needless to say they were as dry as sand. If the recipe needed to be adjusted why did you do that so we don’t have to waste so much expensive ingredients. Will all the other desserts come out that bad, if so I am really afraid to try the rest. Has anyone tried any thing else. Thanks for any help. Roseygirl,

    Hi, yudy. Brummel & Brown is not actually recommended in this program, as it contains hydrogenated vegetable oils, which are considered rather unhealthy. For an alternative to raw butter, organic/grass-fed is just fine.

    Hi, LynnHallett. Yes, coconut flour does indeed require more moisture than almond flour, as well as an additional source of fat. Most people recommend adding coconut milk if the taste suits you, but you could also make the following change for the 1 cup coconut flour: add 1 egg and 1/2 cup oil on top of what is already in the recipe.

    These are delicious made with xylitol (calculated that in a recipe this size it would be about 1 c regular sugar, so used 1/3 cup xylitol for my 1/3 recipe), I can’t handle the stevia, I know there is some extra carbs but not as much as if made with sugar. I also substituted 1/2 of the flour with regular wheat flour, just to start, and as I don’t have a serious gluten problem . For serving size, it says ‘serves 16’, so I guess we can cut it into 16 pieces if you make the whole recipe. Now to freeze them all before I have another one!

    I’ve just cooked these as a treat for my Husband.I used coconut flour as it’s all I had could this be why they have turned out very dry.I’m sure it’s something I’ve done wrong but I’m so disappointed any ideas?

    In response to rjeansh08, I think what they mean is that you bake the brownies in the skillet and you take the whole thing out of the skillet. The “cupcake” is a guide to how much you should eat in one serving.

    Hope this helps! 🙂
