Keto Brownies: Net Carb Count And Nutrition Facts

If you're on a keto diet, you might be wondering how many net carbs are in keto brownies. Well, wonder no more! The answer is that it depends on the recipe and the ingredients used. For example, one recipe for keto brownies has 1.7g net carbs per brownie, while another has 2g net carbs, and yet another has just under 2g net carbs. So, as you can see, the net carb count can vary a bit depending on the recipe and the ingredients used. But overall, keto brownies tend to be quite low in net carbs, which is great news if you're watching your carb intake!

Keto brownies with almond flour

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fine almond flour
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp dutch cocoa or additional regular cocoa powder
• 1/3 cup melted coconut oil or butter
• 3 tbsp water or additional oil
• 2 eggs, or 2 flax eggs
• 2/3 cup granulated erythritol or regular sugar
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt

Method:

• Preheat the oven to 350 F. Grease an 8-inch pan, or line with parchment.
• Mix all ingredients well.
• Spread evenly into the pan. Smooth down, using a second sheet of parchment if needed.
• Bake for 20 minutes on the center rack, then let cool completely. The brownies will continue to firm up as they cool.
• For even firmer brownies, refrigerate very loosely covered overnight.
• The brownies are delicious with or without frosting.

Tips:

• For a brownie in a mug, use the Keto Mug Cake Recipe.
• For a Flourless Brownie Ice Cream Sundae, top with a scoop of Keto Ice Cream.
• For a nuttier flavour, stir in a handful of chopped pecans, almonds, or walnuts into the batter.
• For extra sweetness, throw in some shredded coconut, cacao nibs, or chocolate chips.
• For a more authentic brownie taste, use Dutch cocoa powder. Most regular grocery stores should sell it – look for the words “processed with alkali” on the ingredient list.
• The brownies can be made with either regular sugar (for non-keto) or granulated erythritol. If making them keto, be sure to buy granulated erythritol, not powdered.
• For paleo brownies, use coconut sugar.
• For a vegan option, use flax eggs instead of regular eggs.

Keto brownies with coconut flour

Coconut flour brownies are a delicious, low-carb, and gluten-free alternative to traditional brownies. They are perfect for those following a keto diet and can be made in under 30 minutes. Here is a simple recipe for keto brownies with coconut flour:

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons coconut flour
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup peanut butter or almond butter
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Method:

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and sugar until glossy. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips, if using. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and bake for 25-27 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out mostly clean. Allow the brownies to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Tips:

• Coconut flour is tricky and requires a unique balance of wet and dry ingredients. It does not work as a 1:1 replacement for other types of flour.
• Sift the dry ingredients to ensure there are no lumps in the batter.
• To make even lower-carb brownies, use keto-friendly maple syrup, sugar-free chocolate chips, and a sugar-free sweetener such as allulose or stevia.
• For a more decadent dessert, serve the brownies with a drizzle of caramel sauce or a scoop of coconut ice cream.
• These brownies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. They can also be frozen for up to 6 months.

Keto brownies with stevia

These keto brownies are rich, super fudgy, and easy to make from scratch in only 30 minutes. It’s truly the best fudgy brownie recipe that has only 2g net carbs.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
• 3/4 cup almond flour
• 2/3 cup powdered sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit, or xylitol)
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 3 large eggs

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring it covers both the bottom and the sides. This will make it easier to remove the brownies later.

• In another bowl, whisk together the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sweetener, and baking powder. Ensure that these dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
• In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them using an electric mixer until they are well combined and slightly frothy.
• Gradually add the melted butter and chocolate mixture to the beaten eggs. Continue mixing until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
• Slowly add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture. Use a spatula or mixer on low speed to combine until you achieve a brownie batter consistency. Make sure there are no lumps.
• Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to evenly spread it out.
• Bake for about 13-18 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out almost clean with just a little batter on it that balls up between your fingers. (Do NOT wait for it to come out totally clean.)
• Cool completely before moving or frosting. Once cooled, lift from the pan using the edges of the parchment paper.
• If desired, spread sugar-free frosting on top of the keto brownies before slicing into squares.
