INGREDIENT NOTES:

COCONUT FLOUR:

• Coconut flour provides stability in brownies and forms a structure by absorbing extra water content.  You can alternate it with the almond flour.

PECANS:

• Pecans are an important ingredient in these brownies. They give a buttery crunch in a topping of coconut. We can substitute it with macadamia nuts or walnuts.

ALMOND FLOUR:

• This flour aids in providing a tender texture and moisture content. This ingredient doesn’t contain any gluten, so it also gives a chewy and soft inside texture. You can swap it with sunflower seeds.

KETO COCOA POWDER:

• Keto cocoa powder is perfect for creating a rich taste in the brownie’s foundation. We can utilize raw cacao powder as a replacement.

SHREDDED COCONUT:

• Shredded coconut creates a chewy texture with healthy fat content. You can use chopped pecans or coconut flakes in its place.

BUTTER:

• Butter improves the fudgy texture of the brownie’s foundation. We can also utilize coconut oil.
