Low-Carb Dessert #2


Double Chocolate Walnut Brownies
Yield: 25 servings

Ingredients
For the brownies:
•    1 1/2 Tbsp wheat bran, or oat bran
•    1 1/4 cups plus 1/2 Tbsp soy flour
•    4 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate
•    1/2 cup unsalted butter
•    2 cups sugar substitute (recommended: Splenda)
•    1/2 cup heavy cream
•    5 large eggs
•    1 Tbsp no sugar added vanilla extract
•    2 tesp baking powder
•    1/2 cup chopped walnuts

For the low-carb chocolate frosting:
•    3 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
•    5 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
•    1 cup Splenda (or other sugar substitute)
•    1/3 cup heavy cream
•    1 tsp no sugar added vanilla extract
•    Few drops of hot water, as needed to thin consistency

Instructions
For the brownies:
1.    Preheat oven to 325°F.
2.    Spray pan with nonstick vegetable oil cooking spray.  Set aside.  Mix wheat bran and 1/2 tablespoon soy flour together and sprinkle evenly over the inside of the greased pan, also coating the sides.
3.    Place the unsweetened chocolate and butter in a steel bowl and melt over a saucepan of simmering water.  Whisk in 1 cup sugar substitute and 1/4 cup heavy cream.  Once thoroughly blended, turn off heat and keep warm until needed.
4.    With an electric mixer on high, beat the eggs, 1 cup sugar substitute and the vanilla extract just until blended.  Reduce to low speed and then blend in the chocolate mixture.
5.    With a wooden spoon, mix in the baking powder, 1 1/4 cups soy flour, walnuts, and 1/4 cup heavy cream.  Spread evenly into the prepared pan and bake on the center rack for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (Do not over-bake or brownies will be dry and hard).
6.    Let cool completely before frosting with low carb chocolate frosting.  Cut into 5 rows by 5 rows to make 25 pieces.

For the low-carb chocolate frosting:
1.    Place all ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk until well combined.
2.    After brownies are completely cooled, use to frost brownies.
