High-Protein Low-Carb Brownies
"These are fudgy, if unusual brownies. Not super sweet, but sweet enough. Feel free to substitute any kind of nuts for the almonds -- the original recipe called for walnuts. Loosely based on a recipe from "What Every Pregnant Woman Should Know" by Gail Sforza Brewer, modified for a somewhat diabetic diet."

these were pretty good with a little tweeking. I added some stevia (1/3 cup), some brown rice flour (1 cup), 1 teaspoon of baking powder and added an additional 1/2 cup of evaporated milk. I wouldnt consider them low carb but high fiber perhaps. Good when you need a chocolate fix!
