Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup (35 g) almond flour
Sweeteners:
- ¾ cup (150 g) granulated erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
Flavor and Texture Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅓ cup (60 g) sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 350F (175C) and lining an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly greasing with butter.
- Gently melt butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop, then set aside to cool slightly.
- Create a dry ingredient mixture by whisking almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and selected keto-friendly sweetener in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, vigorously whisk eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour melted butter into the egg mixture, stirring thoroughly to create a uniform liquid base.
- Gradually incorporate wet ingredients into dry ingredients, folding carefully until a smooth, consistent batter forms without overmixing.
- Transfer batter to prepared baking dish, using a spatula to distribute evenly and create a level surface.
- Place in preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick that should emerge with minimal moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and let brownies rest in the pan for 10 minutes to stabilize and prevent crumbling.
- Slice into square portions and serve, enjoying the rich, fudgy texture of these keto-friendly treats.
Notes
- Swap almond flour with sunflower seed flour for a nut-free version that’s equally delicious and keto-friendly.
- Use monk fruit sweetener as a versatile alternative to erythritol, providing the same low-carb sweetness with potential additional health benefits.
- Check brownies at 15 minutes to prevent overcooking, since keto baked goods can dry out quickly due to low-moisture ingredients.
- For extra richness, fold in sugar-free dark chocolate chips or chopped pecans before baking to enhance texture and flavor complexity.
