I am a newly diagnosed Type 1 diabetic and have to watch my carb intake very carefully now. But sometime a girl's just got to have a brownie! Over the past few months I have tried several keto brownie recipes, but was highly disappointed with the results. Until today, when I finally decided to give your Guilt Free Keto Brownie recipe on the back of the Collagen Powder package a try. I couldn't be more pleased! Honestly, they exceeded my expectations; chewy, fudgey, moist, and so full of chocolate flavor. Absolutely delicious!
Thank you, Organixx! You have made me so very happy :)
Warm regards,
Deborah

Just want to be sure there are no eggs in the cookies. Doesn't seem like much moisture. Thanks.
Hi Janet, thanks for leaving feedback.
Yes, the Low-Carb Chocolate Chip Collagen Cookies has no egg in it. Our suggestion is to allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes to harden or they will fall apart. However, please feel free to recreate this recipe with your own twist by adding or removing ingredients according to your own preference, while keeping in mind of the possible changes in taste and texture.
We hope you enjoyed these desserts and we wish you a wonderful day!
Loved the cookies and yes they didn't need an egg, I used erythritol for the sweetener. This was my first time using this sugar alcohol in a recipe. As lovely as the cookies were there was a burning sensation in the back of our throats which I assume was the erythritol. Do you know how the lakanto tastes? What is it? And what is the sugar/lakanto ratio? Thank you.
Hi Janet, we are pleased to hear that you liked this recipe. We appreciate you getting back to us to let us know about your feedback.
We are also glad to know that you are interested to know more about Lakanto. Based on our online search, Lakanto is a brand behind a natural sweetener derived from monkfruit (also called Luo Han Guo), a plant native to Thailand and China. The extract claims to be 150-200 times sweeter than table sugar, has no calories, and is low-glycemic as it has zero calories and carbs and will not raise blood sugar levels. However, there has been a reported aftertaste because the highly sweet taste can trigger the release of insulin and for some people, saccharin is too bitter in flavor.
To add, a 1-to-1 sugar to lakanto substitution may be too sweet. We suggest that you experiment the ratio that will fit your preference (eg. 1/3 cup of Lakanto is to 1 cup of sugar is a good start).
We hope this helped and we wish you a lovely day ahead!
Looking forward to making the brownies but as I'm not used to using cups as a measurement do you mean half a cup off oil that is already softened or half a cup of hard oil that you then soften?
Hi Louise, thank you for your interest.
Yes, it is suggested to use either 1/2 cup butter or coconut oil, softened. So happy to hear that you're going to give our brownie recipe a try! You'll have to keep us posted on how it turns out for you. Also, be sure to check out some of our other delicious and healthy recipes in our recipe vault here: https://organixx.com/ox-recipes/.
