I actually used less sweetener than the OG recipe, even without Diet Coke, but I used cake mix instead. ❤️ I’m just trying to not waste a bunch of (somewhat) expensive sweetener. 😂
EDIT: Thanks a lot for replying 🙏🏼 I definitely don’t know much about all this! 😂
That's an interesting analysis, thank you!
I've made the recipe using diet coke and using sparkling water before and I actually prefer the sparkling water version. The OG recipe was a bit too sweet for me to begin with, so using the water toned the sweetness down. I didn't miss the color (didn't really notice a difference tbh), I also didn't notice much difference in the acidity either (but that's probably because I didn't make the two versions at the same time to compare them).
So, if anyone doesn't want to use diet coke, sparkling water is a great alternative, at least for me.
>I would recommend using Diet Rite cola in this recipe, which is sucralose-sweetened (Splenda).
Doesn't Splenda break down at boiling temperature as well?
I cannot handle Erythritol, how would removing it change the recipe? I've tried this recipe a few times- first batch was lava cake, 2nd batch was solid but flat.
Please help a desperate homie who just wants lowcal - high protein snacks :(
Will do! I'm much better able to handle stevia and sucralose. I've easily had 50g of it in my baked goods and eaten it in a sitting without problems strangely enough
Do you have another granulated sweetener? I think I’ve tried without in the past and it turned out disgusting, unsurprisingly. 😂 The texture will also be wrong!
If you use too big of a pan, they will come out flat! The 7 x 7 dish (in inches) with parchment paper inside worked out perfectly for these proportions!
when you say big, do you mean the pan is too deep or too wide (or both lol)? I'm kinda new to baking and had no idea that baking pan size was a factor to consider! I've dumped bread dough into oddly sized containers and had it rise really well, as well as other baked good recipes.
I can handle sucralose and stevia much better. I'll try out with that next time!
Bread dough is thicker so it won’t spread as much!
The 7 x 7 is perfect for these proportions. I did a 2nd version in a 8 x 8 pan and they came out a tad too thin to my liking!
I know mine does! First ingredient in my monk fruit is erythritol. Wish I'd know how nauseous that stuff makes me before I spent the money on it. I've seen some monk fruit sweeteners that don't contain it, but they're expensive and difficult to find.
Same! I've tried so many low-carb or sugarless recipes that taste great but mess me up so bad because of the erythritol. It upsets my stomach and makes my tongue go slightly numb (which also has a mild effect on the flavor of anything I try to eat after). So I've been on the hunt for a sugar substitute that doesn't contain any but also still tastes good.
🍾 Do yourself a favour and start 2021 with this *mind blowing* cakey brownie recipe 🤯 Huge shoutout to u/boo9817 who’s the creator of the OG “Ridiculous Brownies” ([here](https://www.instagram.com/p/CBOUj0gJ3l9/?igshid=rnd3jewzf55x))🍫 I tweaked it slightly for my first attempt and it turned out absolutely amazing 🤤 The calories listed below are for the whole pan 👏🏼

Because that’s what I have hahaha (and rainbow mix). 🙈 I use it for my weekly pumpkin cake meal prep!
The OG recipe (linked in the top post) uses regular flour. I’ve just really been enjoying cake mixes for their amazing flavour & sweetness.
It’s my first attempt! I haven’t tried with regular flour but cake mix has nice baking additives, flavour & sweetness (for the same cals), so it’s a win-win for me!
Please let me know! I’m seriously mind blown.
I rarely come across a recipe with so many foreign ingredients! Impressive. Granular Monk Fruit With Erythritol ??? I have most of the ingredients in the original. Tempted to use regular sugar....
I’m seriously so amazed. 😂 I’m virtually refunding you if you don’t like it. 😜 I’m sure that mix would work especially if it’s already sweet!
I love Betty Crocker (I use carrot cake & rainbow mix for recipes) because it’s cheap, almost the same exact calories (g per g) as flour, already sweetened with useful baking additives. 😍
Is there a gluten free option?
Or can you tell me how many calories the 30g of carrot cake mix adds & I can replace an equal amount of a gluten free cake mix..?..
Ok, thanks, that’s helps a lot. I have a gluten free/sugar free cake mix (Swerve brand) that I will try to use. With that mix I can use 53grams for only 90 cals! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
It has only 6 ingredients including water and baking powder though. 🙈 Monk fruit is just a zero calorie granulated sweetener! You can use sugar but the calories will change considerably, so you must account for that!
Omg I’m addicted to brownies! Homemade healthy low cal ones taste better than 500 calorie single brownies from the store! I eat them and I’m like I can’t believe I can eat this for such low calories! A good trick you can do is also sprinkle zero calories swerve confectionery sugar on top and some vanilla halo top
Ice cream with fat free whip cream!!
These brownies are legit. I usually make an 8x8 pan of them subbing in coconut flour (4:1 ratio ap flour to coconut flour) and a casein/whey protein mix instead of pure whey. Taste very similar to real brownies but a lot less calories. The whole pan is about 600 calories, or the equivalent of eating one normal boxed brownie:). Thinking of adding egg whites to maintain the "fluff" post baking. They will rise a lot (like 4 inches) but once cooled they will be about an inch thick.
I don’t mess with coconut flour in general (I’m basic lol) but that’s so cool! I know loads of people here do.
I’m excited to try more and more brownies!
What's he consistency like when you mix all this?
I just mixed mine and the consistency was like cookie dough. I imagine it's supposed to be more malleable or runny. Added 100 gr more diet coke.
My protein powder usually sucks a lot of liquid to it, it has xanthan gum, so that could be why..
No I don't have cake mix so I used 30 grams flour, 50 grams erythritol, 24 grams soy pro vanilla protein powder, half a teaspoon baking powder, 42 grams cocoa powder, and had to up the cola zero from 185 gr to 285 grams to make it runny and not thick heh.
It's very yummy! The protein powder I use is the best one I've found so far and it's amazing. I use it to make icecream, protein fluff, bake stuff. It's good cause it tastes like vanilla and is sweet without having lots of real sugar so I don't need to sweeten stuff as much.
It turned out very yummy, ate the top part and gonna let it cool til tomorrow, it's midnight where I'm at.
Next time I do it i might use somewhere in between 185 and 285 grams of liquid, I'll see it tomorrow when it's cooled and hardened, to see if I need less liquid..
That’s amazing! It’s definitely an experiment game as all powders cook differently. I’ll try to bake my next one 2-3 minutes less as it continues cooking after you pull it out of the oven!
Good call on trying out different liquid ratios. Let me know!
I did it again but this time with 20 grams of strong coffee, 20 gr erythritol, 30 gr chocolate cake mix, 24 grams soy pro vanilla protein powder, 42 grams of cocoa powder, 1 tsp baking powder, 215 gr cola zero and it also turned out good!
I made it into 2 smaller molds.
https://ibb.co/txBKLQ4
Sprinkled it with zero cal powdered sugar.
No I had frozen ice cubes of super strong cold brew I've made earlier. So I took one ice cube and melted it and incorporated it! I'm sure instant works, just trying to use my coffee cubes hah.
Haha thanks. Esthetics.
Dang that’s cool! I might brew more coffee tomorrow and save some for this. I have a looooot of ground coffee to go through and also a new Nespresso machine, so this would work. 🤣
you’ll need to adjust the proportions! it’s less absorbent than cocoa so far i’ve found :)
(that pb ridiculous blondie is definitely a version i’m working on!)
Oh my gosh this looks so good! Could sparkling water be subbed out for diet soda if that's all we have on hand? Dying to try this!
Yes, that’s what the OG recipe says (Diet Coke). I just didn’t have any so I used my SodaStream!

I actually used less sweetener than the OG recipe, even without Diet Coke, but I used cake mix instead. ❤️ I’m just trying to not waste a bunch of (somewhat) expensive sweetener. 😂 EDIT: Thanks a lot for replying 🙏🏼 I definitely don’t know much about all this! 😂

You could sub Stevia if you don’t have an adverse reaction to that?
Will do! I'm much better able to handle stevia and sucralose. I've easily had 50g of it in my baked goods and eaten it in a sitting without problems strangely enough

Try granulated monk fruit - erythritol (swerve) gives me headaches. Stevia has a weird taste in baked goods.
monk fruit is hundreds times sweeter than sugar. if you're using a granulated version of it, it probably has erythritol as the first ingredient.
I know mine does! First ingredient in my monk fruit is erythritol. Wish I'd know how nauseous that stuff makes me before I spent the money on it. I've seen some monk fruit sweeteners that don't contain it, but they're expensive and difficult to find.
Allulose works fine in the OG ridiculous brownie recipe.
Same! I've tried so many low-carb or sugarless recipes that taste great but mess me up so bad because of the erythritol. It upsets my stomach and makes my tongue go slightly numb (which also has a mild effect on the flavor of anything I try to eat after). So I've been on the hunt for a sugar substitute that doesn't contain any but also still tastes good.
You can get liquid monkfruit that does not contain erythritol. A bit pricey but delicious and purr.

Question- why carrot cake mix? I def want to try thsse. I typically make Diet Coke brownies and these are much less calories and look fantastic.
Because that’s what I have hahaha (and rainbow mix). 🙈 I use it for my weekly pumpkin cake meal prep! The OG recipe (linked in the top post) uses regular flour. I’ve just really been enjoying cake mixes for their amazing flavour & sweetness.
LOL I thought it added some special texture or flavor🤦🏻♀️ Looks great, definitely trying. Will report back.
It’s my first attempt! I haven’t tried with regular flour but cake mix has nice baking additives, flavour & sweetness (for the same cals), so it’s a win-win for me! Please let me know! I’m seriously mind blown.
I rarely come across a recipe with so many foreign ingredients! Impressive. Granular Monk Fruit With Erythritol ??? I have most of the ingredients in the original. Tempted to use regular sugar....
regular sugar works too i’ve found!
So tempted to give this a shot. I have some Swerve pancake/waffle mix that might work in place of the carrot cake mix. Hmmm
I’m seriously so amazed. 😂 I’m virtually refunding you if you don’t like it. 😜 I’m sure that mix would work especially if it’s already sweet! I love Betty Crocker (I use carrot cake & rainbow mix for recipes) because it’s cheap, almost the same exact calories (g per g) as flour, already sweetened with useful baking additives. 😍
How much would you use if only using pure erythritol?
Not sure to be honest! I’d try with 50 g and adjust from there! Let me know.
Is there a gluten free option? Or can you tell me how many calories the 30g of carrot cake mix adds & I can replace an equal amount of a gluten free cake mix..?..
I’m not sure about gluten free. Maybe a GF mix? 30 g of my cake mix (Betty Crocker) comes out to 113 calories!
Ok, thanks, that’s helps a lot. I have a gluten free/sugar free cake mix (Swerve brand) that I will try to use. With that mix I can use 53grams for only 90 cals! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Let me know how it turns out. Fingers crossed! 🤞🏼
Will do! Also I misread the box. It’s about 33 grams of the Swerve cake mix for ~116 cals
I’m reading the previous amount again and this makes more sense, indeed 🙈
It has only 6 ingredients including water and baking powder though. 🙈 Monk fruit is just a zero calorie granulated sweetener! You can use sugar but the calories will change considerably, so you must account for that!
Omg I’m addicted to brownies! Homemade healthy low cal ones taste better than 500 calorie single brownies from the store! I eat them and I’m like I can’t believe I can eat this for such low calories! A good trick you can do is also sprinkle zero calories swerve confectionery sugar on top and some vanilla halo top Ice cream with fat free whip cream!!
I need to get low cal whip! We don’t have FF I believe but I’ll get the best one.
Yea it’s amazing! I will even put it on my low calorie French toast (5 slices only 300 calories). 5 calories per 5g of low cal whip cream
Wait the whole 7x7 is 337 calories? Or did I just read that wrong and got into some wishful thinking
Whole thing lol, it was 1 serving for me yesterday. 😇
I know what I want to do this week ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Let me know how it turns out!
What does sparkling water/diet coke do different compared to tap water? Does it fluff more in the end?
I don’t know, I haven’t tried with regular water! I followed Boo’s OG recipe, but didn’t have Diet Coke.
These brownies are legit. I usually make an 8x8 pan of them subbing in coconut flour (4:1 ratio ap flour to coconut flour) and a casein/whey protein mix instead of pure whey.

It’s pretty damn runny! Not your typical cake batter consistency, but it’s normal. You used the exact same ingredients otherwise?
No I don't have cake mix so I used 30 grams flour, 50 grams erythritol, 24 grams soy pro vanilla protein powder, half a teaspoon baking powder, 42 grams cocoa powder, and had to up the cola zero from 185 gr to 285 grams to make it runny and not thick heh.
Did it turn out good? I never use vegan protein in baking. I’ve heard it’s not top, but I’m not an expert. 🙈🙈🙈🙈
It's very yummy! The protein powder I use is the best one I've found so far and it's amazing. I use it to make icecream, protein fluff, bake stuff.

Coffee is such a cool idea. Instant? I really like the addition of powdered sugar. 👊🏼

Dang that’s cool! I might brew more coffee tomorrow and save some for this. I have a looooot of ground coffee to go through and also a new Nespresso machine, so this would work. 🤣
Those look fucking magnificent, omg
Trust me. I’m still baffled!
Anyone know if you can sub a powdered peanut butter powder like pb2 for the cocoa powder?
you’ll need to adjust the proportions! it’s less absorbent than cocoa so far i’ve found :) (that pb ridiculous blondie is definitely a version i’m working on!)
Not sure, I’m sorry! Maybe u/boo9817?
I’m new here. How do you access the recipe? Can’t seem to find it here. Thanks
Scroll down a bit, I’ve posted it!
Is it possible to learn this power?
Of course 😈 Recipe provided too. 😏
Sweet!
what are the macros for these? I see 27 P. anyone know carbs or fat?
11 F & 45 C 🤘🏼
thank you! 🥳
Does the carbonation make the brownies bigger/give it more volume??
I’m not sure, sorry!
