You probably don’t have to go too far to find a good brownie. But if you need a sugar-free brownie, you may be stymied. That’s why our Top Pick Of The Week is the selection of sugar-free brownies and bars from Silverland Bakery.

Silverland Bakery was established 40 years ago in Chicago. Founder Athena Uslander was a structural engineer who needed a change.

She had been baking brownies for years and decided to open a bakery, creating a menu of old-fashioned bars, raw bars, cookies, crispy rice treats, and customized products.

She sold her delicious wares to wholesale customers as well as to consumers.

All these years later, her small-batch recipes continue to be hand-made with locally sourced, high-quality, all-natural ingredients and are preservative-free. “Crafted by heart and hand,” she says.

Silverland also makes conventual brownies and cookies, plus a Keto bars, gluten-free bars and vegan bars and cookies.

We encourage you to check out the full offering on the website as we focus her on the sugar-free line.

For friends and family who don’t eat sugar, you can keep them in the freezer to pop out for their visits. And we promise you that a gift of these sugar-free delights will be most appreciated.

*Erythritol is a sugar alcohol, a group of noncaloric sweeteners that includes isomalt, maltitol, sorbitol, and xylitol. It has a glycemic index of zero and doesn’t raise blood sugar or insulin significantly. It works well in both cooking and baking. Here’s more about sugar alcohols and Keto diets.
