2 large eggs

1 large egg yolk
15 -
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides, then lightly grease the paper. This ensures easy removal of your Perfect Keto Brookies: Low Carb Dessert Recipe.
02 -
In a large bowl, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter. Whisk in 3/4 cup granulated erythritol-monk fruit blend sweetener until combined. Add 2 large eggs, 1 large egg yolk, and 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, whisking until smooth and well incorporated.
03 -
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 cup super-fine almond flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, and 1/4 tsp sea salt. Ensure there are no lumps for a smooth brownie base.
04 -
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips. Pour the decadent brownie batter evenly into the prepared 9x9 inch pan.
05 -
In a clean bowl, cream 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened). Add 1 cup super-fine almond flour, 1/4 tsp baking powder, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until a crumbly dough forms, then stir in 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips.
06 -
Evenly crumble the golden cookie dough crown mixture over the brownie batter in the pan. Bake your Perfect Keto Brookies: Low Carb Dessert Recipe for 28 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the brownie layer comes out with moist crumbs.
07 -
Remove the Perfect Keto Brookies: Low Carb Dessert Recipe from the oven. Let them cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out by the parchment paper and cutting into 12 squares. This prevents crumbling.
# Notes:
01 -
For the best texture, ensure your softened butter for the cookie dough is truly at room temperature, not melted, to achieve a crumbly yet cohesive topping.
02 -
Store leftover Perfect Keto Brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. They also freeze well for longer storage.
03 -
Feel free to customize your brookies by adding a sprinkle of flaky sea salt on top before baking, or a handful of chopped keto-friendly nuts to either layer for extra crunch.
04 -
Always allow the brookies to cool completely before cutting. This is crucial for clean slices and prevents them from falling apart, especially with almond flour-based recipes.
