Ingredients:

For the Brownies:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • A pinch of salt

For the Frosting:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 tablespoons almond milk or coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly powdered sweetener

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9”x9” baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
  2. For the Brownie Batter: In a bowl, blend the melted butter and granulated erythritol until it’s well combined and slightly fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  3. Gradually fold in the almond flour, coconut flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Ensure the batter has a consistent texture and color.
  4. Pour the keto brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for about 20-25 minutes. The brownies are done when a knife or toothpick reveals a few moist crumbs upon insertion. Be careful not to overbake to achieve the perfect texture.
  5. While the brownies cool, prepare the keto-friendly frosting. In a bowl, combine softened butter, almond milk (or coconut milk), unsweetened cocoa powder, and powdered erythritol. Adjust the texture with more milk or powdered erythritol if needed.
  6. Apply the frosting to the slightly warm keto brownies, allowing it to meld seamlessly. Let it set.
