FAQs

Can I use regular sugar instead of erythritol?

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Dry Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3/4 cup erythritol

Wet Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the brownies.
2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, and erythritol until evenly mixed. This helps distribute the chocolate and sweetener uniformly throughout the brownies.
3. Mix wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated, which will provide moisture and richness to the batter.
4. Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender, fudgy texture.
5. Bake the brownies: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center – it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs attached.
6. Cool and serve: Allow the brownies to cool slightly in the pan before slicing into squares. Cooling helps set their fudgy texture and makes them easier to cut and handle.

Notes

• Do not overbake to keep the brownies moist and fudgy.
• Use erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener to maintain low-carb content.
• Almond flour can sometimes vary in texture; finely ground almond flour works best for a smooth brownie batter.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for a week.
• For an extra indulgence, consider adding sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter before baking.
