Equipment
- 1 Baking Tin Lined with parchment/baking paper.
- 1 Saucepan You can also use a microwave but a saucepan works better
- 1 Heatproof Bowl Needs to be large enough to sit safely over the saucepan
Ingredients
- 80 g Unsalted Butter You can use 8 tablespoons coconut oil and 1 tablespoon coconut cream
- 100 g Xylitol or Erythritol If you have a dog, don't use xylitol as it is toxic for them.
- 50g Sugar-free Chocolate Chips If in the USA, you can use Lakanto Sugar-free chooclate chips. In the UK, you can use Mrs. Keto Chocolate Chips
- 50 g Cocoa powder
- 45 g Almond flour You can also use ground almonds but almond flour will have better results.
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 Pinch Salt
Toppings (Optional)
- 100 g Flaked nuts of your choosing - e.g. almonds, walnuts, pecans.
Instructions
- Line a baking tin with parchment/baking paper or use a non-stick baking tin. Heat oven to 350f/180c/gas mark 5
- Heat a pan of water or use a microwave in increments. Put butter, sweetener, cocoa power, salt in a heatproof bowl
- Heat over the stove and whisk it / take out of microwave in increments and mix each time. Keep doing this until the sweetener has melted. Note: Erythritol doesn’t dissolve as much as xylitol so it might still look grainy when using erythritol.
- Remove from heat. Add in the eggs and whisk to create a smooth mixture. If using erythritol and it seems too thick, add another egg.
- Add the almond flour and whisk in.
- Transfer the brownie mix to a the baking tin. Spread out evenly.
- Add the sugar free chcoolate chips. If you're also adding nuts you can add them at this stage.
- Bake for about 15 to 20minutes depending on how gooey you want them.
