Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup granulated erythritol or sweetener of choice
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 shot of espresso, cooled
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • Sugar-free chocolate chips (optional, for topping)

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking pan with butter or line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated erythritol until well combined.
  2. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking after each addition until smooth.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract and cooled espresso until incorporated.

Step 3: Add the Dry Ingredients

  1. In a separate bowl, sift together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4: Bake the Brownies

  1. Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
  2. If desired, sprinkle sugar-free chocolate chips over the top of the batter for extra chocolatey goodness.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

  1. Remove the brownies from the oven and let them cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Once cooled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the brownies out of the pan and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  3. Once cooled, slice the brownies into squares and serve. Enjoy!
