Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup (115 g/4 oz) unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup (50 g/1.8 oz) unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup (35 g/1.2 oz) almond flour
- ¾ cup (150 g/5.3 oz) granulated erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup (60 g/2.1 oz) sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Warm the oven to 350F (175C) and line a square pan with parchment paper, creating overhanging edges for seamless brownie extraction.
- Craft Wet Blend: Whisk melted butter and cocoa powder into a smooth emulsion, then integrate erythritol, eggs, and vanilla extract until achieving a harmonious mixture.
- Combine Dry Components: Merge almond flour, salt, and baking powder, then gently incorporate into the wet ingredients, stirring to form a luxurious, velvety batter.
- Enhance Chocolate Profile: Tenderly fold sugar-free chocolate chips throughout the mixture, ensuring even distribution for consistent flavor.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly, and slide into the preheated oven. Bake until edges firm up and a toothpick inserted near the center reveals subtle moisture, approximately 18-22 minutes.
- Cool and Set: Allow brownies to rest in the pan for 30 minutes, facilitating proper setting and precise cutting. Leverage the parchment paper handles to lift and transfer the baked delight.
- Serve and Savor: Slice into elegant squares and indulge in this decadent, keto-friendly confection.
Notes
- Measure Precisely: Use exact measurements for almond flour and erythritol to maintain the perfect keto-friendly texture and sweetness balance.
- Control Moisture: Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent dense, tough brownies; mix just until ingredients are combined for a tender crumb.
- Check Chocolate Chips: Select sugar-free chocolate chips specifically designed for keto diets to keep the carbohydrate count low and maintain nutritional goals.
- Cooling Strategy: Let brownies cool completely before cutting to allow the structure to set, preventing crumbly edges and ensuring clean, neat squares.
