🕒 Servings & Timing
- Servings: 9 squares
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 20–22 minutes
- Total Time: 30 minutes
🍫 Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour (or ¼ cup coconut flour for nut-free)
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener for a natural sugar alternative)
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup melted butter or coconut oil (use low-fat spread for WW/Slimming)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: ¼ cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips or chopped nuts
🍽️ Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare the Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients
To the dry mixture, add eggs, melted butter (or coconut oil), and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and thick.
Tip: If the batter feels too dry, you can add 1–2 tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk to reach the desired consistency.
Step 4: Fold in Extras
If desired, fold in sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra texture and flavor.
Step 5: Bake
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until the brownies are set but still fudgy in the center.
Step 6: Cool Completely
Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing. This helps them firm up and ensures they stay moist.
🍪 Variations & Tips
1. Nut-Free Option
If you need a nut-free alternative, simply substitute almond flour with coconut flour (¼ cup). The texture will be slightly different, but the flavor will still be delicious!
2. Add Flavor with Spices
For a cozy twist, try adding a ½ teaspoon of cinnamon or a pinch of nutmeg to the dry ingredients.
3. Top with Whipped Cream
Top your brownies with sugar-free whipped cream or a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent treat.
