Mmm looks good!

[Minnas]

Oh man does that look GOOD!! I am definitely making these this weekend.

Kevin, once again...

[Tweaker Geek]

Lookin' good, Kevin. I'm saving the recipe for when our zucchini will be ready this summer. I just made the Isomalt Brownies today - pretty hard to improve of them IMO!

[Bar10der]

Why do I come into your threads?

Wahh, now I want chocolate.

[Crink]

You are EVIL..............................

[Nat490]

Going to have to try this one sound really good.

OH MY Kevin!! I cannot wait to make these...You are so kind to share these innovative recipes...Do you happen to shop at Whole Foods Market? I but everything at Netrition.com but I was going to take a look at Whole Foods...I still think Netrition has the best prices and selection, though!

[Kevinpa]

I actually find it way cheaper and more convenient to shop at netrition. Heck they deliver it to my door for $5 .... I used to tip pizza guys more than that. If I cant get something there then I start thinking about looking elsewere.

Kevin, thank you, thank you. these look so good. I do have a question tho,I'm one who has thrown stuff out because of the "taste", tried the lemon bars, thought it would surely be masked by the lemon couldn't eat them. I know your DW has the same problem too, I quess I want to know if I should try these. (did a couple of impossible pies and bisquits that were real good, though).

Mary my DW doesn't have a problem with Carbquik as a matter of fact she likes most everything I make with it......on the other hand she does on occation dislike things I have made with Carbalose. I can't think of any reason somebody would not like these... My testers made short work of them....they are gone already.

[Minnas]

It's about 6:30 am and I haven't had my coffee yet but I'm seriously confused on the carb count on this. Can someone tell me the carb count per piece or for the whole batch?? Thanks.

[woofie47]

thanks Kevin, I think I should have said "carbolose," not carbquik.

Sharis, erythritol is a sugar alcohol and has 15 carbs per tablespoon but because of the way it is digested I subtract those carbs out and are not reflected in the net carbs. Erythritol is te only SA I do that with. The rest I count a percentage depending on which it is.

[Minnas]

Ah, o.k. I got it. Thanks.

[clark153]

Kevin, I remember in many of your other recipes that you mix Carbquick with WPI and WS with Not/Sugar. Why not in this recipe?

By the way, they look very good!

Back in the HC days I used to bake things with zucchini milk (which was just pureed zucchini) for texture. Kind of like some people use apple sauce.... anyway as I was shredding the zucchini I thought I'd try it and as it turned out it worked very nicely.

79.56 of the total 263.78 calories are from carbs.

Thats not how many carbs there are.

I see, how dumb of me

How many carbs are there per serving? And the recipe makes 9 servings right?

I hope this isn't another question!!

I have been meaning to say that these were very thick. Almost 2 1/2 inch high and 3 x 3......in other words a BIG brownie.

The next time I make them I am going to make them in a 9 x 13 dish and that will yeild 12 brownies about half as high and will only be about 3 carbs each.

[That Girl]

made them last nite and they are great! i added sf melted choc (dixie diner) and one sf milk choc bar, (because they taste by themselves) a couple of minutes after they came out of the oven,and then stuck them in the freezer to freeze. wow, what a great treat. this morning as they defrosted a bit as i was individually wrapping them, i took a small one. tastes very much like a pilsbury choc cake. the frosting was kinda crispy, very very good! kuddos again kevin! just to add, i got 16 out of mine, i cut them a little smaller.

[rexsreine]

did you put chunks or shavings of the chocolate on the brownies to melt into a frosting when you took the brownies out of the oven?

Ginny

[That Girl]

i actually melted the bar and chips in the microwave first and then drizzled them on top of the cake. i should add, i cut the cake into 16 squares as it cooled, (it was just warm) and then added the melted choc. i then lifted the pieces onto a plate right away cause i figured the choc would get too hard and make a mess. this is the best choc cake recipe (i know its a brownie recipe) i have tasted so far... you won't be dissapointed!

[rexsreine]

Thanks for the clarification, Bella! Guess I need to go buy some zucchini...

Ginny

[That Girl]

anytime

[decodiana]

Kevin,

Did you "pack" your zucchini or measure it loosely?

loose but slightly mounded

[pita]

kevin,

TIA
