Hi there’s cream cheese listed in your ingredients list but I do not see it being used in the instructions. Is the cream cheese used as an icing on the brownies?

Also I went through the ingredients list and your nutrition facts. I cannot detect where the carbs are from. Even the gluten replacement is all fiber. Unless the carbs listed in the nutrition is referring to the fiber which is not digested by the body.

See the last sentence in step 2. It’s added with the egg white powder.

Hi Sam, Oddly enough the carbs mostly come from the chocolate in this recipe. We have net carbs listed as well as total carbs and fiber. The cream cheese has also been added back into the recipe, thanks for catching that.
