Introduction

These easy keto brownies made with almond flour are a delicious low-carb treat perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings without the guilt. They’re moist, fudgy, and simple to make with just a few ingredients.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs (at room temperature)

• 1/2 cup swerve (or preferred keto sweetener)
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• handful of walnuts or sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease or line an 8×8 baking dish or a small round pan.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, mix the eggs, melted butter, and vanilla until combined. Gradually add the swerve, almond flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder, mixing well after each addition. Fold in walnuts or chocolate chips if using.
3. Step 3: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
