Ingredients:
1 cup almond flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 cup granulated erythritol (or any keto-friendly sweetener of choice)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (you can omit this or use a small amount of mashed avocado for moisture)
1/2 cup melted coconut oil or butter
1/4 cup almond milk (or any unsweetened nut milk)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional, make sure they’re keto-friendly)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, granulated erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well combined.
Add Wet Ingredients: Add the unsweetened applesauce (or mashed avocado), melted coconut oil (or butter), almond milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and no lumps remain.
Fold in Chocolate Chips (Optional): If using sugar-free chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter until evenly distributed.
Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Keep in mind that almond flour-based baked goods may take a bit less time to bake compared to all-purpose flour.
Cool and Serve: Allow the brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the rich, moist goodness!
