Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup erythritol (or other keto-friendly sweetener, adjusted to taste)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in the erythritol until smooth.
- Add Cocoa Powder: Stir in the cocoa powder until well combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine All Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If using chocolate chips, fold them in now.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. The brownies will continue to cook a bit more as they cool.
- Cool: Let the brownie bites cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your keto brownie bites as a sweet, low-carb snack!
