Keto Peppermint Brownies
The most amazing peppermint brownies, topped with candy canes for an extra festive feeling. This recipe tastes so amazing you won't even know they don't have any added sugar.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 cup monk fruit or granulated sweetener of choice
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
- 1/2 cup sugar free chocolate chips
Topping:
- 3 tbsp heavy cream
- 1/8 tsp peppermint extract
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup powdered monk fruit or powdered sweetener of choice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x8inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all your dry ingredients (expect chocolate chips) and mix until combined.
- Combine butter with half the chocolate chips and peppermint extract, melt in a saucepan over medium heat until warm and melted.
- In a separate large bowl, add your eggs and using an electric mixer, beat the eggs until slightly frothy.
- Slowly add the chocolate and butter mixture to the eggs while mixing.
- Add the dry ingredients slowly, and continue mixing until you are left with a thick, glossy brownie batter. Fold in your remaining chocolate chips.
- Transfer your brownie batter into an 8x8inch pan covered with parchment paper. Bake the brownies for 18-25 minutes, or until a skewer comes out just about clean from the center.
- Remove from the oven and allow the brownies to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, before carefully transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cooled, make your topping by combining all of your topping ingredients (except candy canes) by mixing with an electric whisk until fluffy and smooth.
- Spread evenly over cooled brownies and top with crushed candy canes if desired. Enjoy!
