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.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt ensuring an even distribution.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the melted butter, erythritol, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms, ensuring everything is fully incorporated without overmixing.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter for extra fudgy texture and flavor.
- Transfer to Pan: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula to create an even layer.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, indicating the perfect fudgy consistency.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing into 16 squares to serve.
Notes
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up.
- Do not overbake to keep brownies fudgy; moisture in crumbs on the toothpick is ideal.
- You can substitute erythritol with other keto-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit or stevia as preferred.
- Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Allow brownies to fully cool before slicing to avoid crumbling.
