Keto Espresso Brownies Recipe
Craving a rich, decadent treat without derailing your keto lifestyle? Look no further! These Keto Espresso Brownies are the perfect solution for your sweet tooth. They’re fudgy, intensely chocolatey, and have a delightful coffee kick that will keep you energized. Best of all, they are incredibly easy to make.
Why Espresso?
The addition of espresso powder enhances the chocolate flavor, making it deeper and more complex. It also adds a subtle bitterness that balances the sweetness of the keto-friendly sweeteners. Don’t worry, you won’t just taste coffee; the espresso primarily works to amplify the chocolate richness.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1/2 cup Almond Flour
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1/4 cup Erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)
- 2 tablespoons Melted Coconut Oil
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Espresso Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
- Pinch of Salt
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a small baking pan (around 6×6 inches).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, espresso powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. The batter will be thick.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with fudgy crumbs.
- Let cool completely before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
Tips and Variations:
- For extra chocolate intensity, add sugar-free chocolate chips to the batter.
- If you prefer a less sweet brownie, reduce the amount of erythritol.
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
