Almond Flour Brownies

I needed a dessert for dinner, I looked quickly and THOUGHT these were lower carb. Big Man lied.

 

 

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 5 tablespoons butter softened
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sweetener of choice white, brown, sugar free, etc.
• 3/4 cup cocoa powder
• 3 large eggs 
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup chocolate chips optional   

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside
2. In a small bowl, whisk together your dry ingredients. In a separate larger bowl, whisk together your softened butter, sweetener, eggs, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract, until combined.
3. Gently add in your dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. If using chocolate chips, fold them through at the end.
4. Transfer your brownie batter into the lined pan. Bake for 35 minutes, or until a skewer comes out just clean. 
5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely, before slicing.

 

Carole's Notes:

We liked these! I think they are more like 30 g carbs per serving then the 3 Big Man suggested.
