Ingredients

Scale

Basics

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup keto sweetener (monk fruit, erythritol, or allulose)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup sugar free chocolate chips

Optional Add-Ins

  • Chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Pinch of sea salt for the top
  • Dash of espresso powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Heat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: Melt the butter and half of the sugar-free chocolate chips in the microwave in short bursts. Stir between each burst until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly, then add the vanilla extract. Slowly pour in the warm melted chocolate and butter mixture, stirring to combine well.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, keto sweetener, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a thick brownie batter forms.
  6. Add Chocolate Chips and Extras: Fold in the remaining chocolate chips and any optional add-ins like chopped nuts, a pinch of sea salt, or a dash of espresso powder for extra flavor.
  7. Bake the Brownies: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the edges are set but the middle is still soft and fudgy.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing. This helps set the texture and makes cutting easier.

Notes

  • For a sharper chocolate flavor, add a dash of espresso powder to the batter.
  • Optional nuts provide a crunchy texture contrast but can be omitted for nut-free servings.
  • Don’t overbake: the center should remain soft and fudgy for the best texture.
  • Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for longer freshness.
