Keto Brownies

What!!! I'm actually baking KETO brownies??!! Yes, totally inspired by a colleague to bake something healthy... Super easy recipe, just few ingredients and its only 1g net carb per pop. Low carb chocolate dessert!

Ingredients

130g unsalted butter

70g almond flour

140g Xylitol powdered erythritol 

80g cocoa powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 eggs at room temperature

Steps

Preheat oven to 180degree C. Line your pan with parchment paper.

1. In a heatproof bowl, add butter, sweetner, cocoa powder and salt. Melt over a water bath whisking constantly. Heat it up until most sweetener has melted (note that erythritol unlike xylitol, won't dissolve much at this point).

2. Remove from heat, allow mixture to cool slightly.

3. Add one egg at a time, whisking well at each time. The texture should be smooth.

(If using erythritol and batter ends up thick -  you may add an extra egg).

4. Add the almond flour in and whisk vigorously until well blended.

5. Pour into baking pan for about 15-25mins until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out moist.

Cool and serve!
