Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- ½ cup almond flour
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup erythritol (or preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- ½ cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to ensure they are evenly combined and free of lumps.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the melted unsalted butter with erythritol, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes smooth and homogenous.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until a thick, chocolatey batter forms without overmixing.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips evenly into the batter for extra texture and chocolate bursts.
- Prepare for Baking: Spread the batter evenly into the lined baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula for even cooking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, ensuring the brownies stay fudgy.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the baking pan before slicing into 16 squares to prevent them from crumbling and to enhance texture.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, substitute almond flour with sunflower seed flour.
- You can adjust the sweetness by using your preferred keto-friendly sweetener such as monk fruit or stevia.
- Storing the brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator will keep them fresh for up to 5 days.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder and sugar-free dark chocolate chips with at least 70% cacao.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely as they firm up while cooling, making them easier to slice.
