Recipe: Dr. Jiwani’s Low Carb Vegan Fudge Brownies

(Low Carb Gluten-Free Grain-Free Dairy-Free Egg-Free Corn-Free Soy-Free Sugar-Free Suitable for Diabetic, Paleo, Keto, Vegan, Allergy Conscious & Candida Diets)

Dr. Jiwani’s Low Carb Vegan Fudge Brownies are the key to avoiding your food allergies, losing weight, all while experiencing the moist, rich chocolatey goodness of a delectable treat. There is life after a healthy, hypoallergenic diet, where you can have your cake and eat it too (pardon the pun!)

I made these for my husband’s birthday party as I wanted him to enjoy a birthday treat, without his many allergies and with MINIMAL CARBS! It’s a perfect treat for those on a ketogenic diet. They were a tremendous hit with everyone, not just those with dietary restrictions. I have included modifications if you want a small amount of low glycemic carbohydrates.

I love using nut or seed butter for my baking as it provides fibre, protein, good fats and antioxidants.  Nut & Seed Butters in baking enriches recipes using lower carbohydrates with unmatched moistness. I have experimented with many nut and seed butters, thanks to my handy Cuisinart food processor grinding the nuts & seeds into a smooth buttery consistency. 

Nut & Seed Butters can be purchased a local & online grocery stores from Hazelnuts, Almonds, Cashews, Coconut, Macadamias, Walnuts, Pecans, Sunflower & Sesame Seeds. Always check labels for other additives such as sugar, salt and partially hydrogenated oil.

Fat doesn’t make you Fat; Carbs make you Fat – Inside & Out.

Dr. Jiwani’s Low Carb Vegan Fudge Fudge Brownies are a heavenly decadence, yet Low Carb, Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Corn-Free, Soy-Free, Sugar-Free suitable for Diabetic, Paleo, Keto, Vegan, Allergy Conscious & Candida Diets.

Once my health became an issue, I started reading labels and was astonished to find so much sugar & potential allergens (read “gluten-free” as a carb nightmare, and chock full of other allergies) in the store bought ones, often around 23 – 30 grams of Net Carbs per Brownie!

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Tips

• If you use a larger baking dish creating a thinner brownie, bake for a shorter time ~ 15-20 mins

• I always make extra and freeze the remaining in Glass Lock Containers to ration the family.

• AVOID PLASTIC due to cancer causing & hormone disrupting chemicals

• Please avoid your specific food allergies. This recipe is allergy-free as above, when the correct ingredients are used as per the recipe above.

• These brownies are yummy, filling and nutritious!
