Description
These Keto Peanut Butter Brownies are a low-carb, sugar-free treat combining the richness of peanut butter and the deep flavor of cocoa, with an optional chocolate chip twist. Perfect for a quick and indulgent snack.
Ingredients
1/2 cup peanut butter (unsweetened, smooth or crunchy)
1/4 cup butter (melted)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 cup sugar-free sweetener (erythritol or stevia)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and sweetener until smooth and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- If using, fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into a greased 8×8-inch baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the brownies cool completely before slicing into squares.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free butter and ensure the chocolate chips are dairy-free.
If you prefer a different sweetener, options like monk fruit or stevia work well.
Almond flour is essential for keeping these brownies keto-friendly. Don’t substitute with regular flour if following a keto diet.
For extra texture, fold in chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans with the chocolate chips.
These brownies can be frozen for up to a month for later enjoyment.
