Review: A flourless, low-carb brownies

I tried a low-carb brownie recipe where the goodies are baked on a muffin pan. The recipe I used was as follows:

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
3 Tbsp cocoa powder
1 egg
2 Tbsp water
4 packets (4g) NutraSweet
1 tsp white granulated sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla

Procedures:

Preheat oven to 175 degrees Celsius. Line muffin pan with muffin liners.
Melt butter then mix in the cocoa powder
Add the egg, water, vanilla, and NutraSweet. Mix well.
Fill each muffin liner 2/3 full. Bake for 15 minutes.

Flourless brownie recipes

OK so on Monday I'll work as an employee for the first time. For 2 years I worked from home with a foreign company, but my employment will need me to take a train, a jeepney, and about 20 minutes walk to get to the office. So, it's gonna be more tiresome. And I will miss having meals and snacks always ready in the fridge at home.

I think bringing some homemade baked goods will me will keep me from being lonely at the office. What I plan to bring is brownies, and I'm taking note of some recipes I'd like to try.

I've been trying to avoid grains in my food so no matter how much I love my old fudgy brownies recipe (try it!), I'm gonna try these:

Low-Carb Flourless Chocolate and Oatmeal Cluster Cookies

Oatmeal is what I have almost everyday for breakfast. It provides my body energy and fiber, it's easy to prepare (instant ones), and it's so good when sweetened!

In attempt to divert from the usual oatmeal breakfast (in a bowl, with water and sweetener), I'll try making oatmeal cookies instead for breakfast. These cookies can even be made the day or night before, which saves more time in the morning. :) And of course they are good to eat at any time of the day too!
