Ingredients
½ cup almond flour
3 large eggs, room temperature
12 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup dark cocoa powder
2 oz dark unsweetened chocolate
¾ cup erythritol (or 6 tbsp Pyrue, as used here)
½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
Chopped nuts (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Melt Butter & Chocolate
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and unsweetened chocolate together until smooth.
Stir well to combine and let cool slightly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, and baking powder.
Set aside.
- Beat Eggs
In a large bowl, beat eggs until slightly frothy.
Slowly drizzle in the melted butter-chocolate mixture while whisking continuously.
Stir in vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet & Dry
Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture.
Mix gently until just combined—do not overmix, as this can affect texture.
Fold in chopped nuts if using.
- Bake
Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, checking often.
Brownies should be set but still slightly soft in the center for fudgy texture.
- Cool & Serve
Allow brownies to cool in the pan before slicing.
Cut into squares and enjoy!
Tips for Success
Check early: Keto brownies can overbake quickly; remove when edges are set but center is soft.
Room temperature eggs: Helps create a smoother batter.
Sweetener options: Erythritol works well, but monk fruit or allulose can be substituted.
Extra fudgy: Chill brownies in the fridge for an hour after baking for denser texture.
Variations
Nutty brownies: Add walnuts, pecans, or almonds for crunch.
Chocolate chip delight: Fold in sugar-free chocolate chips.
Mocha twist: Add 1 tsp instant coffee granules to the batter.
Coconut version: Sprinkle unsweetened shredded coconut on top before baking.
Serving Ideas
Dust with extra cocoa powder for a gourmet touch.
Serve warm with a scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream.
Drizzle with melted sugar-free chocolate or peanut butter.
Pair with coffee or espresso for a decadent treat.
Storage
Room temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Refrigerator: Keeps well for up to 1 week.
