Ingredients for Low Carb Brownies

Here’s what you’ll need:

Butter
Erithrytol (Swerve)
Eggs

Vanilla Extract
Almond Flour
Cocoa Powder

Baking Powder
Salt
Xanthan Gum

Chocolate Chips(optional)

Chocolate Chips

I use Lilly’s Stevia Sweetened Dark Chocolate Chips. They are usually available at any health food store, but if you can’t find them in your area, you can always order from Amazon.

If you can’t find them, or if the price makes you wince, they can be left out completely.

They are completely an optional topping, but they sure do add a little excitement to these low carb brownies.

Note: You don’t have to get this brand, but make sure you are getting sugar-free. Also, try to check the carb count on whichever chocolate chips you use.

Usually, even sugar-free chocolate chips are high in carbs. So, make sure that you are getting a low carb brand.

Also, watch out for a lot of sugar alcohols that can cause stomach pain.

Step 1: Butter the Pan

I use real butter for the bottom of my pan. It gives a nice flavor, and I avoid processed oils used in many cooking sprays.

Now they have some awesome cooking sprays made with real olive oil, but I still really love using real butter on the pan for these brownies.

What Constitutes as Butter?

If you’re using Country Crock, you are not using butter. Now this comes from a southern mama who spent YEARS cooking with Country Crock.

When I went keto, I realized that anything with “margarine,” “butter spread,” “butter flavored,” or “less fat” on the label is not butter and is likely made with vegetable oil.

Vegetable oils are man-made oils that contribute to carb-cravings, inflammation, and overall poor health. You can read about the effects of vegetable oils here.

The Pan: The 8×8 Pyrex works perfectly for this recipe. However, you could use any pan of similar size. The cook time will vary depending on the material you use. Glass takes longer to heat up than metal but stays consistently hot longer than metal pans.

Step 2: Stir and Pour Low Carb Brownies

First, melt the butter in the microwave.

Then, stir all the ingredients together, and pour into the pan.

Step 3: Bake Low Carb Brownies

Finally, bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out of the center clean.

This is my go-to quick and easy keto sweet recipe. I try to have a keto dessert on hand at all times to help with my cravings. (This is super important in the first week or so of going keto.)

These low-carb brownies are so easy to make that I keep the ingredients for them on hand in case a craving strikes.

My favorite thing about this recipe is how common the ingredients are. They are made with ingredients that are pretty much staple in every keto pantry.

The nuts, chocolate chips, and xantham gum can all be left out in a pinch. Without those items, you can grab these ingredients in almost any grocery store.

I hope you enjoy these brownies! Let me know in the comments what you think.

Some delicious nuts, extra chocolate chips, or keto whipped cream topping would be a perfect addition to these keto paleo brownies.
