A Keto Brownie Loaf is a delicious, low-carb version of a traditional brownie, with all the rich, fudgy texture and chocolate flavor, but without the sugar and high-carb ingredients. Here’s a simple recipe to make a keto-friendly brownie loaf!
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted) or coconut oil
- 1/2 cup erythritol (or any keto-friendly sweetener of your choice)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or coconut milk)
- 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional, for extra fudginess)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan (8×4 inches) or line it with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
- In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter (or coconut oil), erythritol, eggs, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Mix until well combined and smooth.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until fully combined. The batter should be thick and fudgy.
5. Add Chocolate Chips (Optional):
- If using, fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips for extra chocolatey goodness.
6. Pour the Batter into the Loaf Pan:
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake:
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are fine for a fudgy texture). Be careful not to overbake, as you want the loaf to stay moist and fudgy.
8. Cool and Slice:
- Let the brownie loaf cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice into 8-10 pieces.
Enjoy!
This keto brownie loaf is perfect for satisfying a chocolate craving without the carbs. The texture should be dense and fudgy, just like a classic brownie. Enjoy it on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream!
