Smokey's Low-Carb Peanut Butter Frosted Fudgey Brownies

Chocolate and peanut butter triumphs again!  Thanks to Carbquik, we are able to satisfy our tantalizing cravings with another tasty treat.

Brownies have always been a household favorite....creamy, fluffy, chocolatey, yet rich and tasty! Having the ability to create low-carb brownies, without losing its flavor is an added benefit.

As if our fudgey brownies aren't enough to stimulate our taste buds, add a topping of creamy peanut butter to send them jumping for joy!

Our preparation time is only 5 minutes, while baking consists of another 25 minutes.

We shopped for this weeks ingredients, which includes:

• 2 Sticks Margarine
• 2 Eggs + 1 Egg Yolk
• 1 1/2 Cup Carbquik
• 1 tsp. Vanilla
• Heaping 1/2 Cup + 2 Tbsp. Sweetener
• 1/2 Cup Unsweetened Baking Cocoa
• 1/2 Cup Peanut Butter

We'll begin by placing our margarine in our mixing bowl and will melt in our microwave for 1 minute.

Next, we'll add our heaping 1/2 cup of sweetener and cocoa and will stir until well mixed.

We'll then, add our 2 eggs, our 1 egg yolk, vanilla, and will beat until fully blended.

Next, we'll add our Carbquik and will again stir, until well blended.

Now, it's time to spray our 8 inch by 8 inch (or 9 inch by 9 inch) pan with cooking spray and to preheat our oven to 325F degrees.

We'll then, pour our batter into our baking pan and will place in our oven for 24 minutes, or until our brownies gradually pull away from the side of our pan.

Our brownies might seem as if they are too moist, when we initially remove them from the oven. However, they will slightly harden, as we place them in the refrigerator.

While we are awaiting our brownies to cook, we'll create our very simple peanut butter frosting.

We'll place our Peanut Butter into our small bowl and will melt in the microwave for 1 minute.

We'll now remove our brownies from the oven and will allow to cool for about 5-10 minutes.

Next, we'll pour and evenly spread our Peanut Butter over our brownies and will place in our refrigerator for about 20 minutes to cool.

We'll then, remove our brownies from our refrigerator, will sprinkle 2 Tbsp. of Sweetener over our brownies, and will slice and serve.

Our Peanut Butter frosted Fudgey Brownies are delightfully delicious!!

They are soft, chocolatey, rich, and light!  As I take a bite of our luscious brownies, I can taste its richness.  The peanut butter mixes so well with our brownie flavors.

I feel as if I could gain 20 pounds from our dessert, until I realize ~ WOW!!! ~ this is low-carb! 

Absolutely delicious...  😋

Enjoy!!

Smokey's Low-Carb Berry-licious Blueberry Blintz Souffle

For those of you who have tried a blueberry blintz, you know they are creamy, rich, sweet, and tasty.  

These yummy blueberry blintz souffles taste like upgraded blueberry crepes.  

We love the flavor of rich ricotta cheese mixed together with a sweet element and then baked to perfection.  

Our blintz souffle is very simple to make and doesn't take much time.

Our preparation time is 5-10 minutes, while our baking time is another 25.

We visited our local grocery store to purchase our ingredients:

• 3 Tbsp. Sugar-Free Maple Syrup
• 1 Cup of Ricotta Cheese
• 1 Egg
• 1 tsp. Lemon Juice
• 1/2 Cup + 1/2 Cup + 1/2 Cup of Blueberries + 10 Blueberries (1 1/2 Cups + 10)
• 1/4 Cup of Carbquik

We'll begin by adding our Ricotta Cheese, egg, syrup, lemon juice, and Carbquik to our mixing bowl and will mix until well blended.  

Next, we'll add 1/2 Cup of our blueberries to our mixture and will slightly stir, so we do not break or smash them.  

We'll then, spray 2 ramekins with cooking spray and will preheat our oven to 400F degrees.

In order to enhance our blueberry flavors, we'll add 1/2 cup of blueberries to each ramekin.

Next, we'll evenly add our batter to each of our ramekins, filling them almost all the way to the top.

We'll then decorate the top of our souffles with 5 blueberries each and will place in our oven for 25 minutes, or until slightly browned and blueberries have slightly bubbled.

We'll now remove our souffles from our oven and will allow to cool for about 5-10 minutes.

The aroma of our blueberry blintz souffles are slowly permeating our apartment and are softly tantalizing our nasal passages.  

Our warm, sweet, and creamy souffles are out of this world!!  

They are rich and creamy with a sweet blueberry flavor in each bite.  

Our blintz souffles throw me back to a time, when we first met each other and visited a deli in Detroit, known for their huge and tasty blintzes.  

From our kitchen to yours ~ 

we hope you enjoy our tantalizing, creamy, and fresh blueberry low-carb blintz souffle.  😋
