Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup (112 grams) almond flour
- 1/2 cup (50 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder
Sweeteners:
- 3/4 cup (150 grams) erythritol
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare a square baking pan by lining with parchment paper or lightly greasing to prevent sticking, ensuring easy brownie removal.
- Combine dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, whisking almond flour, cocoa powder, and erythritol until thoroughly blended and free of lumps.
- Create a separate mixture by gently incorporating melted butter with eggs and vanilla extract, stirring until the liquid becomes uniform and glossy.
- Carefully fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients, using gentle circular motions to merge components without overworking the batter, which could result in tough brownies.
- Transfer batter to the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula to ensure even distribution and consistent baking.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350F (175C) for 20-25 minutes, monitoring closely and testing doneness by inserting a toothpick that should emerge with minimal moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and allow brownies to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, which helps them set and makes cutting easier.
- Once cooled, slice into clean squares using a sharp knife, creating uniform portions of this decadent keto-friendly dessert.
Notes
- Swap almond flour with coconut flour for a nut-free alternative, but reduce the amount by 75% as coconut flour is more absorbent.
- For extra richness, fold in sugar-free dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts before baking to add texture and depth of flavor.
- Check brownies early to prevent overcooking, as keto baked goods can dry out quickly due to low moisture content from alternative flours.
- Create fudgier brownies by slightly underbaking and letting them set at room temperature, which helps maintain a moist, dense texture.
