I love healthy sweets!!

I am so proud of myself. I have been doing this hcg diet for the past month and am during the last phase where I get back to eating normal foods. For the time being, I still can't have sugar or flour (basically no carbs at all). After a month of that, I'm getting a little bored and craving sweets soooo much! So I searched all over the internet for flourless sugarless vegan brownies. There was nothing out there with all the requirements I had so I just made up my own!! And they taste AMAZING! Even Steven liked them! Granted, these do have some carbs in them and aren't the healthiest thing around, considering that they are brownies makes it great!! See the recipe below:



Flourless Sugarfree Vegan Brownies

2. In a blender or food processor, mix until well blended. Spread evenly in a 8x8 inch baking pan.

***I'm still tweaking this recipe a bit because the brownies were a tiny bit gooey. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm definitely interested in trying different things!
