Introduction
They taste really good. I used only half a cup of erythritol which made them sweet enough but not overly sweet. They taste really good. I used only half a cup of erythritol which made them sweet enough but not overly sweet.Number of Servings: 8
Ingredients
-
Almond meal (almond flour) - 1/4 cup
Flax Seed Meal (ground flax), 1/4 cup
Egg, fresh, 2 large
Butter, unsalted, 1 stick
Baking Powder, .5 tsp
Erythritol - .5 cup
Salt, 1 dash
Trader Joe's Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, 9 tbsp
Tips
Carbs from erythritol are not included here because it does not affect blood sugar. You can use any other low carb sweetener.
Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt butter on the stove and gradually add cocoa powder stirring continually. Once melted, make sure everything is mixed well and turn off the heat.
Add eggs, erythritol and then all the other ingredients and mix very well. Preferably sift the almond meal and flax so there are no lumps. The mixture will be creamy.
Spray oil into a square or round tray (I used round about 8" diam). Pour mixture in and bake for approx 20 mins for soft and chewy brownies. Bake few mins more for more drier brownies. Cut into wedges or squares.
