Cut carbs

For our third installment of the Week in Healthy Brownies, we chose a lovely low-carb treat.
Pick #3:The Fat Free Experience
To the true brownie connoisseur, a "low-carb brownie" may seem like an oxymoron, or at least an impossible feat. But the baking whiz behind The Fat Free Experience has managed to whip one up that still satisfies. Each cookie-shaped confection maintains a chocolaty taste and chewy center, but with much fewer carbs and less fat than your average brownie. This is all made possible thanks to the use of whole-wheat flour and maltitol, a sugar-like sweetener made from corn that packs about half the carbs of sugar. These brownies may not taste exactly like Duncan Hines, but they're a vast improvement from past stabs at the low-carb variety.
