    How many carbs in a brownie?

    Regular brownies will be high in carbohydrates mainly because they use sugar, wheat flour and low cocoa solid chocolate. This low carb brownie recipe is just 2g net carbs per square. The difference is not using a flour and no sugar!

    How to make keto flourless brownies

    Making these fudgy brownies is easy and are made in one bowl. Using almond butter reduces the amount of butter normally used in a brownie, as well as giving the brownie it's rich fudge texture.

    When using almond butter, always check the ingredients on the jar for any sneaky sugar or oils. Alternatively, making your own almond butter is easy too.

    For the cocoa powder we use a 100% cocoa. Beware of hot chocolate powder as that will have sugar in it.

    What Sweetener to Use

    We used monkfruit for the low carb sweetener as it does not crystalize after baking when cooled. Allulose is another great option but if you have a difference preference for sweetener, don't be shy in using it!

    What is the key to fudgy low carb brownies?

    The almond butter along with the sour cream is key to making these flourless chocolate brownies very fudgy. However, they really are so much better the next day. You need will power once they are baked not to dive in. But they are worth the wait!

    How to store flourless brownies

    These brownies need to be kept in the refrigerator in a sealed container. They will remain deliciously fudgy for up to 5 days.

    You can also freeze these brownies and enjoy them later. They should last up to 3 months in the freezer.

    Recipe Tips

    Swap the walnuts with pecans or hazelnuts.

    Add a dash of sea salt to the top of the brownie for a tasty sweet and salty flavour.
