Here are some South Beach diet recipes. So keep in mind that they are not totally sugar-free but they are certainly heading in the right direction. Enjoy!
Chocolate chip oatmeal cookies
1/2 c softened trans fat free margerine
3 TBSP Brown Sugar Substitute(Sugar Twin )
1/4 c egg beaters
1 TBSP milk (or more, if needed)
1/2 c whole wheat flour
1/2 c quick cooking oats
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 c chocolate chips (preferrably bittersweet)
In a medium bowl:
Combine margerine and br sugar substitute.
Add egg and milk, blend well.
In small bowl, combine flour, oats, cinnamon,
and baking soda.
Stir into margerine mixture.

Brownies
Approx. 5 grams of carbohydrates per serving
Serves: 18
Ingredients:
1/2 c. butter, room temp. (or lowfat butter, or applesauce)
1/2 c. egg beaters
4 1-oz sq. unsweetened chocolate
2 tsp chocolate extract (or 1 TBS unsweetened cocoa powder)
2 Tbsp water
2 Tbsp soy flour or whole wheat flour or almond flour
1/2 c. coarsely chopped walnuts
8 packets sugar substitute (or to taste)
1 Tbsp vanilla
Cream the butter w. electric hand mixer. Add eggs one at a time, beating well.
Melt chocolate & water in top of double boiler.
Add melted chocolate, soy flour, chopped walnuts, & sugar substitute to butter. Mix well.Taste for sweetness. Add more sugar if needed.
Grease 8x8 quart flat baking pan.Pour batter into pan; bake 15 minutes.
*As a general rule, I substitute the flour with whole wheat flour and almond flour and use sugar substitute with many of desserts to convert them to phase 2 acceptable.
Brownies
1 pkg. Krusteaz Fat Free Brownie Mix
3 C Fiber One or All Bran cereal
2 1/2 C Water
Pour water over Fiber One and let sit for 5 minutes. Add mix and stir. Batter will be thick. [Add nuts if you wish]. Bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Makes 24 brownies. I have made these & found them to be much better after the 2nd day [let them sit for a full day]. Just don't eat too many...
You can also use muffin mix.
