sugar free brownies
These sugar-free brownies are a delicious and guilt-free treat with a rich, fudgy texture. Made with almond flour and sweetened with a sugar-free sweetener, these brownies are perfect for those following low-carb, keto, or diabetic-friendly diets.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup sugar-free sweetener like stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Optional:
- 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts like walnuts or almonds
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking pan (8x8-inch works best) with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. This ensures the dry ingredients are well combined and ready for the wet ones.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and your chosen sugar-free sweetener. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Blend Wet and Dry: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until fully combined. The batter will be thick, which is exactly what you want for that fudgy texture.
- Optional Add-ins: If you’re using chocolate chips or nuts, fold them into the batter now. This step is optional but highly recommended for that extra chocolatey crunch!
- Bake: Pour the brownie batter into your prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few crumbs. Keep an eye on them – you want them to stay fudgy!
- Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before slicing. This helps them set and makes them easier to cut into perfect squares.
