Sugar Free Double Chocolate Coffee Brownies with Walnuts

I am about to go home for a visit and know that I will end up baking something with my nieces so I set to the internet to find a carb friendly version of some baking favorites. Thanks to keto mojo for this recipe!

Ingredients List

• 1/2 cup almond flour

• 1/4 cup cocoa powder

• 3/4 cup granulated brown erythritol-based sweetener (like Swerve)

• 1/2 tsp baking powder

• 1 Tbsp instant coffee granules (we like Amy’s organic instant coffee)

• ~sea salt

• 10 Tbsp butter

• 1/3 cup plus 2 Tbsp stevia-sweetened chocolate chips (such as Choc Zero Dark Chocolate Chips ), divided

• 3 large eggs, at room temperature

• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

• 1/2 cup toasted walnuts, chopped

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an (8 by 8-inch or 9 by 9-inch) baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, sweetener, baking powder, instant coffee, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until no clumps remain.

• Fill a medium pot with 1 inch of water. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat, and top it with a heatproof bowl that nestles into the pot’s rim without touching the simmering water. Add to the bowl over the water the butter and 1/3 cup of the chocolate chips, and gently stir until melted and just smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in the eggs and vanilla. Gently stir in the dry ingredients just until mixed through; do not overmix.

• Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth it to evenly distribute. Top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips and the walnuts. Bake until a toothpick inserted comes out clean with some crumbs clinging, 18 to 20 minutes.

• Cool for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for 2 or more hours.

• Slice into 16 squares, bring to room temperature and serve.
