Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsalted butter Adds richness; substitute coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
  • ¾ cup granulated sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit) Creates sweetness without carbs; use regular sugar if preferred.
  • 2 large eggs Provides structure; vegan alternatives include flax eggs or applesauce.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds warmth and depth; try almond extract for a unique twist.
  • 1 cup almond flour Gluten-free option helps create that fudgy texture without carbs.
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder Gives rich chocolate flavor; substitute with dark cocoa for enhanced taste.
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder Helps with rising; ensure it’s gluten-free if necessary.
  • ¼ teaspoon salt Balances flavor; use pink Himalayan salt for an added touch.
  • ½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips Optional; adds extra decadence; use dark chocolate chips if not restricted by sugar.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Add the almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, salt, and baking powder, and mix until fully combined.
  4. If using, gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
  2. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Cooling and Slicing
  1. Let the brownies cool completely before slicing into squares.

Notes

Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent tough brownies. Always check the sweetness level before baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for freshness.
