Aw, thanks Wa'il. You sorta kinda did ... I can make this recipe to take to my sister's. She's a newly converted low-carber .. and no SOY!! (I said that already, didn't I )

Doreen

Wa'il these look fantastic. I'm putting them on my weekend list of 'things to do', thanks so much for sharing. Did you invent them?

Nat

Yes. I always do things by "feel" and once it turns out good, work my way back to remeber the steps. This one just worked out from first attempt. I don't bake that often, but had some gourmet chocolate from Karen, so that I'll put it to good use.

Wa'il

Was the reaction when I presented these to my family this afternoon. Yum. I didnt have as much almond flour on hand as I thought so I had to use a little more oat flour - but they were delicious. Crunchy peanut butter added some texture to the 'icing' - which makes a great little treat on it's own.

A real winner, Wa'il. I think I'm going to take these over for Easter brunch!

Nat

Thanks for inventing this, Wa'il. I tried it tonight and they turned out great. My husband was impressed, to say the least.
I had to use my 8 x 11 pan which was okay because it cut into 12 nice-sized pieces.

Glad you guys enjoyed them

Nat's last comment made go and make it (again). I should stop. These are great for occasional treats, not a daily item

I made them again with 1/2 cup whey protein, and 1/3 cup almond meal, 1/3 cup oat flour. They turned exactly the same.

That's was great, it adds more protein, and lowers the carb count.

Next time I'll try with 2/3 cup whey protein powder, and 1/3 cup almond meal.

If anyone is contemplating doing the entire thing with whey protein, be careful, it may turn out a bit rubbery

I'll report any findings.

Wa'il

Brilliant! I was planning to try the exact same thing. I'm glad you did the experiment because having too many test batches of these around could be dangerous.

I've made the icing since the weekend - makes for a great whipped treat. I have to hide the container in the back of the fridge or Mr. I-dont-like-chocolatey-stuff would have eaten it w/in the day!

Nat

I have been thinking about brownies for a while now.

My question is, I have almond meal at home, but I only have
carbsence zero carb bake mix, which is a blend of things, will this alter the recipe too much.

Let me know,

P.S. Any other frosting recipes around.

Thanks

Just one dumb question. What is almond meal? Would I be able to use ground almonds? OK......maybe two dumb questions.

Stall Queen,
I would go ahead and try the bake mix, if it doens't work, lesson learned.

Snverg,
Almond mean and ground almonds are one in the same.
