Can you consume brownies on Keto?
Consuming brownies on a Keto diet can be a bit challenging due to their typical high-carb content. Traditional brownie recipes are often made with regular wheat flour, sugar, and other high-carb ingredients incompatible with the Low-carb requirements of a Keto diet. However, there are alternatives available that allow for Keto-friendly brownies. These recipes usually use Low-carb flour like almond flour or coconut flour, sugar substitutes like erythritol or stevia, and healthier fats like coconut oil or butter. These modifications help reduce the carb content while still delivering a satisfying and delicious treat. It's important to note that even Keto-friendly brownies should be enjoyed in moderation to ensure they fit within your daily carb limits.
How to store these Keto brownies?
Place the brownies in an airtight container or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap. Storing them at room temperature is suitable for short-term consumption, typically within 3 days. However, if you want to extend their shelf life, refrigeration is a better option. The chilled brownies can stay fresh for up to 7 days. Alternatively, you can freeze the brownies by placing them in a freezer-safe container or wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap and placing them in a freezer bag. Properly stored, the brownies can last in the freezer for 2-3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw the frozen brownies in the refrigerator or at room temperature.
Are there any variations to these Keto brownies?
For a touch of richness, add a handful of sugar-free dark chocolate chips or chunks to the brownie batter. To infuse a nutty crunch, fold in chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds. To enhance its flavor, sprinkle a dash of cinnamon or a pinch of espresso powder into the batter.

30 min
Step 1
Preheat to 350°F/180°C, and line an 8-inch/20 cm baking pan with parchment paper. Place some water in a saucepan over medium heat. To a medium heatproof bowl, add the butter, sweetener, and cocoa powder. Place the bowl over the water bath and whisk constantly until the mixture is melted and completely smooth. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly. Alternatively, melt the ingredients in the microwave in small increments.Step 2
Add one egg at a time, whisking well after each one until fully incorporated. The texture should be completely smooth. Be sure not to over-whisk since it may result in cake-y rather than fudgy brownies.Step 3
Add the almond flour, whisking vigorously until fully incorporated for about a minute. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 15-25 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out slightly moist.Step 4
Allow the brownies to cool completely on a rack before sprinkling with some flaky salt (optional). Remove the brownies from the baking dish and cut them into 8 slices or 9 squares. To get extra clean edges, place in the freezer for 10 minutes before slicing.Step 5
Serve right away. Store any leftover brownies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or at room temperature for up to 3 days. Enjoy as a dessert or snack.
