INGREDIENT NOTES
ALMOND FLOUR
- It is the perfect keto flour for low-carb brownies with a high content of healthy fats. Your cake will turn out moist with this flour. You can replace half a cup of almond flour with only two tablespoons of coconut flour + an extra egg. As coconut flour is way too absorbent.
CHOCOLATE CHIPS
- Always use the sugar-free chocolate chips if you prefer extra fudgy and chocolatey-rich brownies. Consider the brands like Choc Zero or Lily’s.
BUTTER
- You will need the unsalted version of melted butter for rich or fudgier brownies. Substituting butter with coconut oil for a non-dairy substitute.
BAKING POWDER
- Baking powder will give your brownies a light and fluffy texture.
COCOA POWDER
- We are using the unsweetened version of Dutch-processed cocoa powder for a less bitter but rich chocolatey flavor.
EGGS
- Using eggs will help the brownies to set their structure. If you like extra fudgy brownies, then use two complete eggs with three yolks.
KETO SWEETENER
- We are using either erythritol or monkfruit as a sweetener here. They will satisfy your cravings perfectly for the sweet treat without increasing your carb count. Kindly avoid the liquid sweeteners.
