Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup (35 g) almond flour
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup (60 g) sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
Binding and Leavening Agents:
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Prepare the baking workspace by heating the oven to 350F (175C) and lining a square pan with parchment paper, ensuring excess paper hangs over the edges for effortless brownie removal.
- Create a smooth wet mixture by thoroughly whisking melted butter with cocoa powder until fully integrated, then incorporate erythritol, eggs, and vanilla extract, blending until the mixture achieves a uniform consistency.
- Separately combine almond flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl, then gradually introduce these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring carefully to develop a rich, dense batter.
- For enhanced chocolate flavor, delicately fold sugar-free chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the prepared batter into the parchment-lined pan, spreading it uniformly to ensure consistent baking, then place in the preheated oven.
- Monitor the brownies during baking, removing them when the edges appear firm and a toothpick inserted near the center reveals moist crumbs rather than raw batter, typically requiring 18-22 minutes.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely within the pan for at least 30 minutes, which helps them set and makes cutting into precise squares easier.
- Utilize the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies from the pan, then slice into individual servings and enjoy the decadent, keto-friendly treat.
Notes
- Ensure butter is fully melted and cooled slightly before mixing to prevent scrambling eggs and maintain smooth batter consistency.
- Use high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder for rich, deep chocolate flavor that compensates for low-carb ingredients.
- Experiment with different sugar-free chocolate chips like Lily’s or Choc Zero for added texture and maximum keto-friendliness.
- Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting to help them set and achieve that classic fudgy brownie texture that doesn’t crumble.
