    I add an ounce or two of hot espresso (right from the machine) into the mug I make mine in. The brownie absorbs the espresso like a sponge, so any dryness is eliminated and the flavor is that much better

      Yum! I added Lilys milk chocolate style chips and really enjoyed this.

        I thought this was delicious! I added 8 Lillys chips and cut back on swerve ultimate granular sweeteners . Also , added dollop of Redi- whip on top. I didn’t get the grainy texture like some of you were experiencing, I will be having this again sometime.

          I remade this tonight and used the Hersheys Special Dark coca , it was better than the unsweetened milk chocolate.

          Very good! I made it one time with regular cocoa and it was really good, but the Special Dark Hershey’s makes it even better.

                  Can this be baked in a toaster oven or regular oven ? If so, at what Time and Temperature ? We don't own a microwave for health reasons

                      Very easy and certainly satisfies the desire for something sweet,

                        Can you use oven or air fryer instead?

                        • Meat Maven

                          Meat Maven 7 months ago

                          I would use the air fryer. Preheat it first and then cook for maybe 3 minutes on 400. Check at 2 minutes maybe? Just my two cents… keep us posted.

                        Made this last night! Not bad although next time I will make with 1 tablespoon of the swerve sweetener. .

                          I made it with the 1 Tbsp as you suggested and it was perfect!

                          Update! Made with 1Tbsp of swerve and much better. 👍🏻

                        This is tasty but DO NOT put the replacement sugar in it! Swerve is actually 8g carbs per tablespoon!

                          A carb is a carb. My doc & dietician count TOTAL not net carbs. The body uses the carb regardless our label.

                                I roughed it up in the cup and drizzled heavy cream. Like pre-melted ice cream. Yum!

                                  Great recipe! Did 1.5 tbsp of sugar b/c others recommended reducing. If you like things on the sweeter side, I'd keep the 2. Even 1.5 wasn't very sweet, and I'm not a sugar fanatic at all. I replaced the water with coffee and used canola oil for the flavor neutrality. This is my new go to when I need something sweet!

                                  Delish! I used olive oil and stevia and it turned out perfectly, especially with a tablespoon of low carb ice cream on top.

                                    Really cures that sweet tooth. I followed the advice of someone below and used 1 TBS of monkfruit and olive oil and MAN, it’s so good!
