I don’t bake nearly as much as I used to. It used to be once-a-week. Now, it’s about…well, it’s once in a while. And when I do I try to use less sugar. We aren’t getting any younger and it is harder and harder to ‘work off’ the sweet treats.
But every once in a while we really want something sweet. Last week we really wanted something so I made Keller’s Cheesecake – using Splenda and Stevia. This week it is chocolate as in…
BROWNIES!
Keller says brownies remind him of family, comfort, and childhood. I feel the same way. Mom used to make brownies. They were always a treat. ALWAYS!
I made these using Splenda and Stevia as well. Instead of 1 3/4 cup sugar I used an equal amount of Splenda and ADDED about 1/4 tsp of bulk Stevia. INTENSE chocolate flavor (1 cup cocoa), just sweet enough, and very little guilt. Well, as little as you can have with 3 STICKS BUTTER!!.
The recipe is from Keller’s ad hoc at home. {page 303} Also found it on Pretty Simple Sweet.
