You can have sugar. I have seen powdered sugar by Splenda. You can substitute sugar for Splenda or even Equal. I wonder why Diabetic Living didn't explain this or even make the recipe using Splenda or Equal? Annoymous

Did anyone make the recipe according to the recipe? I did not see the word "Splenda" anywhere in the recipe. Why does everyone want to force their way of life on others...with an attitude, at that!

I use oat bran instead of flour, applesauce and Smart Balance for fat, increase the cocoa to almost half a cup. We have not trouble with Splenda, can't stand Truvia, it gives us a headache! Maltitol makes us sit in the bathroom. Real issue may be the cutting of 16 little tiny brownies, but the taste was good and non diabetic friends enjoyed them, but ate more than one.

I used Splenda and wheat flour and they were not very tasty at all. I suppose the flour probably had something to do with it but not a very good recipe overall.
