Brownies (Keto)
RachelIngredients
- 4 TBSP unsalted butter melted; I like Kerrygold
- 4 oz softened cream cheese; I like Philadelphia
- 3/4 cup almond flour; I like Bob’s
- 4 1/2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder; I like Trader Joe’s
- 2tsp vanilla extract; I used Simply Organic
- 5TBSP granulated sugar replacement; Swerve works best
- Optional:
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips; I use Lilly’s Dark Chocolate Chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cream together the butter, cream cheese & sugar with either a hand or stand mixer. Add eggs in one at a time, waiting until the eggs are fully incorporated into the mixture before adding more. Add the vanilla extract. Slowly add the dry ingredients (baking powder & cocoa) until fully incorporated. If adding the chips, stir them in here using a spoon or rubber spatula. Coat your baking pan with a coconut oil spray for clean removal of brownies. Pour in your mixture, making sure to get every ounce out of the bowl and into the pan! Bake for about 40 minutes (I give mine the toothpick text at around 35 minutes to double check). Remove from oven and let cool for about 20 minutes.
