Being a Type 1 diabetic, I can tell you it is all about swapping and calculating. Your body needs sugar. Your brain runs on it. So, to totally cut it out does not work. In order to eat this brownie, you would need to give up one of your other carbs. You can not expect to eat this along with a complete full carb count meal and think your sugar will not go through the roof. I do make this friendlier by substituting the sugar for a diabetic friendly sugar substitute. I like to use half stevia/ half sugar. To use a blend, you would substitute 1/2 cup of the blend for the cup of sugar in this recipe. That brings your carb count down. You end up with only a 1/4 of a cup of sugar (and a 1/4 cup of stevia) for the batch instead of 1 cup of sugar. Carbs in a 1/4 cup of sugar are 50 instead of the 200. This will bring your total carb count down to 10 carbs for a single brownie (or 13 if you do 12 servings per recipe). You are still looking at 1/2-1 carb swap, but the brownie made with the blend will not spike your sugar as high. Also, another tip for baking with blends is to cut your baking time way down OR bake this brownie in the Crockpot. I love baking in the Crockpot. It keeps things super moist. Bake on low. Times vary between machines and size of the item being baked. You bake until the top is no longer wet. Mine is about an hour and a half for this.
