Only two extra eggs (plus orange extract and orange zest) are added to the batter of the SunFlour Brownie Mix recipe to make this cake!
Our Brownie Mix does include our preferred sweetener: organic coconut palm sugar which has a very low glycemic index.
Many of our customers on keto, paleo, and low carb diabetic diets have found that this mix can still be a part of their diet! The low glycemic sweetener combined with the healthy fats, fiber and protein does not affect their blood sugar like traditional brownies or chocolate cake.
