Keto Fudgy Mock Box Mix Brownies!
Coming up with this brownie recipe was quite an adventure and one I would be fine not reliving. I tested this recipe 23 times, using different types of flour, different amounts of egg and various keto sugars. I was determined to figure out the best way to make low-carb brownies and my destination ended with these
delicious gooey and fudgy brownies.
Recipe Notes:
• If you wish to drop the carbs in the recipe, you can use as little as 8 ounces (227 g) of chocolate chips.
• If you use Lily’s chocolate chips, cut down the sugar to 1/2 cup (100 g) or your brownies will have a weird aftertaste.
• It is very important to allow the eggs to come to room temperature. Cold eggs will cause the chocolate to seize up.
• The fun part about this recipe is the adaptability. If keto sugars are not your preference and you aren’t concerned about carbs, you can use coconut palm sugar or even organic cane sugar. The baking time will need to be increased, potentially up to 30 minutes, if using these sugars.
Substitution Note:
To make this dairy free, use Enjoy Life’s dark chocolate morsels and ghee or Nutiva brand flavored coconut oil for the butter.
