🍽 Tools FOR MAKING KETO BROWNieS
Baking Pan: Depending on the size of the pan used, the baking time for the recipe will change.
Using a double boiler to melt the chocolate prevents it from burning.
✧˚ ༘ ⋆｡♡˚Here are a few reasons why keto brownies have become a go-to dessert for many:
✔Low Carb: Keto brownies are made with almond flour and sweeteners like erythritol, making them incredibly low in carbs. This means you can enjoy a sweet treat without derailing your keto diet.
✔Rich and Fudgy: These brownies are known for their intense chocolate flavor and ultra-fudgy texture. They'll make you forget that you're on a diet.
✔Sugar-Free: With keto brownies, you can enjoy all the sweetness without any added sugar. The use of sugar substitutes like erythritol or stevia keeps your blood sugar levels in check.
✔Gluten-Free: For those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease, keto brownies are an ideal choice as they are made without wheat flour.
✔Satisfies Cravings: Keto brownies can quell your cravings for sugary, high-carb treats, making it easier to stick to your ketogenic diet.
📝INGREDIENTS & SUBSTITUTIONS
➤Unsalted Butter - Just like a good keto fudge, lots of fat is the secret to making super fudgy low carb brownies. They initially become fudgy because of this. Although butter has the best flavor, coconut oil could be used as a dairy-free substitute.
➤Use baking chocolate that hasn't been sweetened (not the sugar-free sweetened variety) along with cocoa powder. Because they accomplish different tasks, we use both. Baker's chocolate has a moist, fudgy texture that cocoa powder lacks. However, cocoa powder has a much stronger chocolate flavor and is essential in excellent brownies.
➤Use this brand of blanched almond flour
To make keto chocolate brownies for the best texture. Wholesome Yum. I developed it as a result of my dissatisfaction with the inconsistent consistency of other brands, many of which are too coarse. The skins from the almonds are included in almond meal, which results in an even coarser texture. Less fluffy and occasionally even gritty texture is achieved by using coarser flour. Since coconut flour absorbs too much moisture, it cannot be used as a substitute; however, you can use it to make these coconut flour brownies.
➤Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend - This sweetener measures 1:1 like sugar and keeps your low carb brownies smooth, not gritty, with no aftertaste. I've made these before using erythritol (in fact, it's what my first cookbook called for since Besti hadn't yet been invented), but the texture wasn't as smooth, the end product was more dry, and occasionally they crystallized when they were stored.
➤Eggs: For the best keto brownie recipe, use eggs that are room temperature. The butter will solidify if they are cold, and the batter won't be smooth. I have not tried it with any egg substitutes to see if any would work; however, if you do, please let me know.
➤Vanilla Extract: For the best flavor, use high-quality vanilla extract.
➤Sea Salt - Leave out the extra salt if you're using salted butter.
Frosting – The only thing these brownies made with almond flour are missing is a crackly top, but I came up with a simple
➤fix: drizzle sugar-free chocolate frosting on top! It's the ideal cap to this recipe for keto brownies.
INGREDIENTS
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Set the oven's temperature to 350 F (177 C). Using parchment paper, line an 88 in (2020 cm) baking pan, extending the paper's edges over the sides.
Step 2
In a double boiler, combine the butter and chocolate and melt them together until smooth.
Step 3
Get rid of the heat. Add the vanilla extract and stir.
Step 4
Add the eggs, cocoa powder, sea salt, Besti powder, and almond flour. Combine and combine until uniform. The batter might appear a little grainy.
Step 5
Put the batter in the prepared pan. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to level the top.
Step 6
Bake for roughly 13 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out almost clean but with a small amount of batter still clinging to it. (DO NOT WAIT for it to be completely clean to come out.)
Step 7
Before moving or frosting, let cool completely. Lift from the pan using the parchment paper's edges once it has cooled.
Step 8
If desired, top the keto brownies with sugar-free frosting before cutting them into squares.
💡The Best Keto Brownie Making Advice
I conducted a ton of research and testing to develop the best keto brownie recipe, and I want to share what I learned with you. Follow these guidelines to ensure that your brownies made with almond flour are incredibly fudgy:
• Pick the appropriate sweetener: If you want your keto brownies to be fudgy and not dry, an allulose-based sweetener like Powdered Besti is especially important. I don't usually emphasize this, but I did mention it above.
• Not too much batter mixing: Just enough batter must be combined to ensure uniformity. A batter that has been over-mixed may contain too much air. On the other hand, insufficient mixing will result in an uneven outcome.
• Don't drain the extra butter: The brownies may have some butter pooling on top when they are finished baking. This can happen or not, but if it does, don't pour it off because doing so would dry out the brownies. If they cool, it will reabsorb.
• Don't overbake: If you wait until a toothpick emerges clean, the brownies will be dry. When a toothpick is inserted into a batch of low-carb brownies, it almost comes out clean but not quite. You can ball up the remaining batter between your fingers if there is any.
• Allow them to cool: No matter how tempting, resist the urge to move, cut, or consume the brownies right away. To set, they must completely cool. Allow them to cool and set overnight if you can.
• Cut down directly: To make straight cuts, use a chef's knife that is sharp.
