Bubba Q Low Carb BBQ Sauce Recipe

This sweet and tasty low carb BBQ sauce was contributed by one of our post-bariatric WLS readers, but we found an original version (only slightly different) which was created by Perk’s Low Carb Recipes. It is sugar free (although it relies on artificially sweetened substitutes) and very savory. You can reduce calories further by using a low calorie butter substitute or other fat.

Here’s the original Perk’s Version, and his comments:

Hey all, I originally created this recipe for my Dad, who was diabetic but loved his barbecue. The key ingredients are the low-carb ketchup, and brown-sugar Splenda. Most of the rest can be tweaked to your liking.   I’ve passed this recipe along to several friends and family members who were trying to eat healthier, or were diabetic as well, and it always gets rave reviews.

Happy Q’ing!
