Our Keto friendly decadent cast iron brownie is low salt, contains no flour or sugar, is wonderfully fudgy and a great way to put a hot brownie on the table.

The irony of preferring to eat vegetarian and also enjoying so many keto recipes is not lost on either Stella, my wife (so not her real name) or myself. We roughly follow a DASH diet plan avoiding salt, sugar, flour, rice, potatoes and most anything with a high carb or sodium count.

The DASH (1) diet is how we discovered keto and a lot of wonderful low-carb recipes. We both disagree strongly with the keto plan of eating high fat processed meats, at any volume, so we take what we can use from the diet and leave the rest behind.

One of the things required when we began the DASH diet was to go cold turkey on the carbs. We both experienced what is coequally known as keto-flu or carb-flu, which describes the flu like symptoms one experiences. Carb-flu is caused by the body adapting to a new diet consisting of very little carbohydrates forcing the body to burn ketones for energy instead of glucose and as we all know, carbs turn to sugar (glucose) in the body once ingested.

These symptoms can last a week or longer and cover a range of unpleasantness including headache, irritability, weakness, lousy concentration, muscle soreness, a difficult time sleeping and above all else, sugar cravings. Sounds great right?



It is great and coming out the other side we both feel rather positive for some reason, have clearer minds and in my case that’s a big plus and, we both have noticed a loss in appetite.   Your belly gets flatter, you cut your risk for diabetes and you feel more energized. I know I sound like a car salesman (no offense to car salesmen – my Godfather sold cars) but honestly the change has, for us, been rather profound.

What’s right for us may not be right for you and since we’re a couple of TV types, not nutritionists or doctors, we suggest you consult with your doctor about what’s best for you.

Our skillet brownie recipe is low salt, contains no flour or sugar, is wonderfully decadent, fudgy, chocolatey and the fastest way I know to put a piping hot ice-cream melting brownie on the table fast.
