It is time to make these EasyKeto Fudge Brownies

Preheat oven to 350F and prepare your 8×8baking dishby lining withparchment paper.

This ensures that you are able to lift your prepared brownies out of the pan to cut cleanly on acutting boardonce cooled.

Since we are mixing everything up in one bowl, there is no need to mix up thewet ingredientsanddry ingredientsseparately.

Now put your eggs in a bowl filled with hottest tap water and set aside.

This warms up the egg so it does not solidify the fat used in the recipe.

In a medium saucepan overlow heat, melt butter and confectioners erithrytol and whisk until well combined.

Watch it as themelted buttertakes a bit of whisking to combine with the powdered sweetener.

Once it is whisked in smooth, slowly incorporate the cocoa powder into thebutter mixtureuntil smooth.

Remove from heat and let sit 5 minutes to cool alittle bit.

Now whisk in the vanilla and eggs one at a time until a very smooth batter is made with a shiny top.

This step is what improves thetexture of the browniesto be fudgy.

Now whisk in thealmond flourand baking powder until very smooth.

Lastly stir half of thedark chocolatesugar-free chocolate chips.

It is thesecret ingredientthat brings out the fudginess of these delicious brownies.

Spread in your parchment linedprepared baking pan.

Sprinkle other half of chips over the top of the batter.

Bake for 20 minutes at 350F until it is set in the middle and a toothpick tested in the middle comes out with a few crumbs or clean.

Check a few minutes early to not overcook them asoven temperaturesvary slightly in how hot they cook.

Cool them for 30 minutes before lifting out to cut into 12 squares.

Store in the fridge in anairtight container.

If you are wanting to re-warm them, they can be reheated in a 350F oven for 5 minutes for ultimate fresh taste!

To freeze, wrap individually inplastic wrapthen store in a freezer bag up to 2 months.

• If you are watching your sodium intake, you can useunsalted butter. Make sure to put just a tiny pinch of salt in the batter so it still has a bit of salt.

The less swirling the better as you want to make sure thebrownie battersurrounds thecream cheeseaddition. If you have too many swirls then the brownies will fall apart at thecream cheeseswirl.

Just simply stir into thebrownie batterright before putting into the baking pan.

Do not leave them out as the added bits ofmelted chocolatewhen the brownies bake, makes thebest textureshine through of ultimate fudginess!

Can I usecoconut flourinstead ofalmond flourin this recipe?

No, it cannot be substituted.Coconut flourrequires a lot more moisture and your brownies will turn out very dry and crumbly if you do.

Do not add inheavy creamoralmond milkwithcoconut flourif you try to substitute anyway.

It will be a runny mess if you do.

Almond flouris ground almonds without the skins, resulting in a fine, light flour that lends a delicate nuttiness to your brownies.

This flour also helps achieve the fudgy texture you crave, while keeping your net carb count low.

What’s the difference between confectioners erythritol and regular erythritol?

Confectioners erythritol is finely powdered, making it ideal for baking as it dissolves more easily.

If you only have regular erythritol, you can pulse it in a blender or food processor until it reaches a powdered consistency so it is the texture of thereal thing.

Can I replace butter withcoconut oil?

Yes, you can substitutecoconut oilfor butter in this recipe.

Coconut oilimparts a hint of coconut flavor, which can be a delightful addition to your brownies.

Make sure you add in a pinch of salt to counter balance the sweetness sincecoconut oildoes not naturally contain salt.

Can I replace the butter withcocoa butter?

​Technically you can. I say technically as I have not tried this in my brownie recipe but I HAVE tried this in myEasy Keto Dairy Free Blondie Recipe (gluten-free).

In this particular recipe, thecocoa butterinstead of the butter made it more chewy and dense.

It is worth a try though!

Make sure you measure thecocoa butterafter you have melted it, or weigh it out to the 4 oz called for in the recipe then melt.

Is there asugar substituteorsugar alternativeother than erythritol I can use?

Yes, you can use other sugar substitutes likemonk fruit, stevia, or allulose. Just be sure that you are using a powdered version so you do not get grainy brownies.

Do my eggs have to be room temerature before adding them?

Yes, it is most important to have not onlyexact measurementson yourdry ingredients, but also that your eggs areroom temperature.

If you add cold eggs to the batter it will sieze up the butter or oil you used and not blend as well.

To achieveroom temperatureeggs without waiting, simply place them in a bowl of hot tap water for a few minutes.

This step ensures that your eggs integrate smoothly into the batter, contributing to the fudgy texture of your brownies.

Can I use regular powdered sugar instead of erythritol for non-keto brownies?

Yes, you can useregular sugar, powdered, if you’re not following a low-carb orketo diet. Just substitute it in a 1:1 ratio for the erythritol.

Do I need to useDutch process cocoa powder?

WhileDutch process cocoa powdercan enhance the flavor and color of your brownies, you can use anyunsweetened cocoa powderyou have on hand.

I prefer to use cacao powder for the boost of anti-oxidants it provides.

How can I achieve the fudgiest texture in these brownies?

To make thefudgiest brownies, avoid overbaking. The toothpick test is your best friend; look for a few moist crumbs to indicate they’re done. Also, let them cool completely before cutting for thebest results.
