Chocolatey Brownies, Low Carb, THM S

I happen to love brownies, and so, I wanted to find a good, chocolatey, moist, low carb, recipe for them (if that was possible).  Of all the recipes I've tried, this one has satisfied my chocolate craving the best. :) They turned out really good for being diet brownies. Just don't overbake them.  I enjoyed the added touch of the chocolate chips on top. I also added a few sprinkles of chopped walnuts to mine. 

Yum! 

The recipe I used:

1/2 cup melted coconut oil 

1/2 cup warm water

2 room temperature eggs

1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup gentle sweet 

3/4 tsp baking powder
1/3 c cocoa powder
1/2 tsp  salt
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour

1/3 cup low carb stevia sweetened chocolate chips

Whisk together all the wet ingredients. Make sure your eggs are room temperature, you can get them warmed up quickly if you put them in a cup of hot water for a few minutes.  Add in the dry ingredients and mix well. Pour into a greased 8x8 inch pan, sprinkle on the chocolate chips (and a handful of walnuts if desired) and bake at 350 for around 20 mins, or until done. 

Enjoy! 

A Northern Leopard Frog

The children and I found this little frog hopping in the yard one day.  After everyone had a turn holding him we put it in the flower bed.   Curious what kind it was, I did a search, and found out it's a northern leopard frog. One interesting thing that I was surprised by is that these frogs can eat all kinds of things including birds! Here is what Wikipedia had to say:

"[These frogs] eat a wide variety of animals, including crickets, flies, worms, and smaller frogs. Using their large mouths, they can even swallow birds and garter snakes. In one case, a bat was recorded as prey of this frog.." 

 It was fun learning a little bit about this Northern Leopard Frog.  🐸 

Scripture For Today

"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.  As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith."
