I'm going to have to nix the brownies tonight: I realized that I don't have cocoa powder. (I do have, in my freezer, cocoa mass, but I don't want to mess with something I don't fully understand.) So instead, I'll be focusing on keto cookies. I don't have keto chocolate chips, but I found some dark-chocolate chips, and those will have to do. Photos later.

Ah... this is what I get for reading in reverse order. Good call to skip the brownies for now, as using cocoa mass instead of powder would probably make the brownies way too oily/fatty, and possibly not solid enough. You will definitely want cocoa powder.
ReplyDeleteI belatedly saw that your recipe also calls for almond butter, and I'm down to the last dregs in my final bottle of that. Time to buy more.
ReplyDeleteThere is no almond butter in the recipe. Just fine almond flour and coarsely chopped roasted almonds.
ReplyDeleteI just went back to that email to make sure I didn't type "almond butter" by mistake, and I noticed that I had a generic "soy milk" in the list of ingredients. I should clarify that this is unsweetened soy milk. The sweetness comes entirely from whatever sugar substitute you use.
You can, of course, use sweetened soy milk and then adjust the amount of added sweetener, but I like to have precise control over the sweetness. I imagine this would be even more important for keto-friendly brownies, where you would want to use only keto-friendly sweetener.
I think I was looking at a completely different recipe. Sorry about that. When I retype your emailed recipes into an ingredients/instructions format, I normally label yours as "Charles" in big letters. Not sure what happened. Just senile, I guess.
ReplyDeleteOh—FWIW, I never use sweetened milk alternatives.
ReplyDeleteNo worries. That's what I get for making you do all the work of reformatting my recipes! One of these days I will get around to sending you actual recipes in ingredients/instruction format.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I figured you wouldn't use sweetened milk alternatives, but I thought it safest to make everything crystal clear.
This latest recipe that you sent was mostly formatted already (stuff/method), but when I want to print out a recipe to hang on my fridge, I remove the talky bits and make the prose terse so that it looks more obviously like brute instructions. For concision's sake more than anything else.
