Low carb brownies are an indulgent dessert that will make any occasion more special. These brownies have a rich chocolatey taste that’s achieved without using large amounts of sugar, making them ideal for those following a low glycemic diet. Almond flour makes up the base for these easy low carb brownies to provide delicious nutty undertones and a chewy texture. 

   

Walnuts are often used in brownies for their nutty taste and bite. This recipe uses our cacao nut granola in place of nuts to give these brownies their full-bodied crunch. Our flavored granola is the ultimate upgrade because not only does it contain the crunch you crave but it also offers an extra boost of indulgent flavor with no added sugar. 

Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

  • 3/4 cup granular erythritol

  • 2 large eggs, room temperature

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 3/4 cup blanched finely ground almond flour

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup NuTrail Dark Chocolate Granola, chopped into small pieces

  • 1/4 cup sugar free chocolate chips, melted

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment then set aside.

  2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and erythritol together until well combined, about 2 minutes. Mix in the eggs and vanilla.

  3. Add the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, espresso powder and salt and mix until well combined.

  4. Fold the granola and melted chocolate chips into the batter and scrape into the prepared baking dish.

  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes. A toothpick should come out mostly clean with a few crumbles. It may appear a little jiggly but almond flour sets as it cools. Cool for 60-90 minutes. Slice into 12 pieces to serve.
