We all know the struggle – the intense desire for a decadent dessert that doesn’t derail your healthy lifestyle. But with this recipe, you can indulge in a delightful brownie experience without the guilt.

Let's Make Some Brownies!
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Unsalted butter: Make sure you use the unsalted butter so that your brownies don’t end up salty.
- Sugar free dark chocolate: This ingredient is really important for your brownies flavour and texture. Get a good quality chocolate to make the perfect fudgy brownies.
- Eggs: We use quite a lot of eggs for this recipe which is actually great to get some good fats and protein!
- Keto-friendly sweetener: my favourite for this recipe is xylitol but you can use any keto friendly sweetener that you like.
- Almond flour: Almond flour is simply grounded blanched almonds. Make sure this is the only ingredient you have in your almond flour.
- Pinch of salt: To enhance the flavours of course!
- ¾ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- In a large bowl, melt the butter and chocolate until smooth and glossy.
- Add the sweetener to the chocolate and butter and mix well.
- Wisk the eggs in a separate bowl until fluffy and light in colour.
- Fold slowly the chocolate and butter mix into the whisked eggs.
- Fold the almond flower and a pinch of salt into the batter.
- Add the walnuts (optional).
- Pour the batter into your pan and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Beyond Basic Brownies:
This recipe is your base for endless creativity! Here are some ideas to customize your keto brownies:
- Chocolate Chip Delight: Fold in your favorite keto-friendly chocolate chips for an extra burst of chocolate flavor.
- Nutty Goodness: Add chopped nuts like pecans, walnuts, or almonds for a delightful textural contrast.
- Fruity Twist: Swirl in some sugar-free raspberry jam or top with fresh berries for a touch of fruity sweetness.
- Frosting Fantasy: Whip up a keto-friendly cream cheese frosting to take your brownies to the next level!
Tips For the Perfect Keto Brownie:
- Use high-quality unsweetened dark cholate for the richest chocolate flavor.
- Don’t overbake! For fudgy brownies, the center should still be slightly gooey.
- Let the brownies cool completely before cutting to avoid them falling apart.
- Experiment with different keto-friendly sweeteners to find your preference. Some sweeteners may bake differently, so adjust the baking time accordingly.
