If someone had told me a few weeks ago that there were brownies that existed that were low-carb and you could make it home I would have assumed that they're made by unicorns and elves that repair your shoes while you sleep. It's impossible to believe. I've seen low sugar brownies that exist in stores and they have less carbs than others mixes but even they still have pretty high carb counts. It just seemed like the options are limited.
So when I received a bag of Good Dee's Low Carb Sugar Free brownie mix in my most recent Keto Krate I was shocked. Especially when I looked at the nutritional value. These things are baked fresh and there's only about one carb per brownie! That's incredible. I decided to whip up a batch and see how they go. There's two types of options you can do. One is a fudgy version of the brownies the other is a less fudgy version of the brownie. Like any sane adult and lover of brownies, I went with the fudgy option. True as told these were fudgy. Great flavor too. These are really everything you want from a low-carb brownie. I was very impressed. For the first time I felt like I was able to make brownies at home simply and easily that had good flavor. That's super important. The problem I find with this particular brownie mix is this, they're not cheap. You go to website one bag of this mix cost about $11. That really doesn't fit within the realms of poor man's Atkins and my budget. While there may be a recipe out there I can make on my own often times it includes some sort of ingredient that's a little harder to find which makes things more expensive. So your option is either to go without brownies or to fork over the cash.
So is it worth it? in my opinion these brownies make a great option for someone who is eating low-carb and want something that's homemade, baked, and needs a special treat. Maybe there's a birthday coming up or special event and you want to surprise someone. This is a great way to do it. Again yes it's expensive, but so are nice birthday cakes. What a great way to surprise somebody with a delicious baked treat they wouldn't normally get.
By the way these bars where delicious straight out of the oven warm. Also by the way the fudge brownie batter even before it's cooked also delicious. My daughter and I licked off the spatula. Because one does not waste brownie batter. After all, we're not monsters.
