For whatever reason, certain occasions just necessitate chocolate. Without getting into the whithertos and whyfors, let’s just say Valentine’s Day is one such instance. No matter what manner in which you choose to get your fill, you can’t go wrong with anything chocolate on V-Day.

A chocolate-lover from way back, I wanted to come up with something special to celebrate. As it happened, I had a hankering for brownies and I knew I had to come up with something to satisfy. The only other condition I wanted fulfilled was that it was keto-friendly!

The Best Fudgy Low-Carb Keto Brownies with Roses

A while ago I did some experimenting in the kitchen and came up with a really great brownie recipe. If you’re interested, the recipe is included in The Keto Queens e-book The Keto Queens Holiday Baking Recipes: Christmas Cookies and More, which is truthfully a year-round baking inspiration if you have a bit of a sweet tooth.

Those brownies are fudgy, moist, and flavorful (the secret ingredient I use in them will blow your mind!), and they make great use out of almond butter. However, I wanted to come up with a brownie recipe that doesn’t contain almond butter. Enter this recipe for the BEST Keto Brownies!

My Inspiration For the BEST Keto Brownies Recipe

I remembered seeing a recipe for keto brownies on Low Carb Maven. The recipe was actually adapted from a cookbook by Martina Slajerova, the author of the KetoDiet Blog. Low Carb Maven noted in her post that the brownies aren’t actually fudgy as the name states. However, they were delicious and utilized a secret ingredient: chia seeds!

I was immediately intrigued and challenged myself to come up with a version that was not only delicious, but fudgy too. Well, my friends, I’ve done it.

The Best Keto Brownies

These literally are the Best Keto Brownies, and I don’t say that lightly. They are everything a brownie should be! Rich and deeply chocolatey, with perfect fudgy texture.

I’ve made three batches in the past 10 days all in the name of “recipe testing”, and I whole-heartedly admit I might have a problem, lol. (But really, I did have quite a bit of help eating them!)

Whip these beauties up for Valentine’s Day or any time you’re craving a really great brownie without the carbs!

Can I Eat a Brownie on Keto?

Surprisingly, a lot of people ask “can I eat a brownie on keto?”. One of the good things about a ketogenic lifestyle is that you can eat anything. With one caveat; you have to stay within your daily macronutrient requirements!

And with that being said, if you choose to eat a regular brownie on keto, it might just be half a brownie and it will likely be all the carbs you can have that day.

That’s not the case with this keto brownies recipe! With just 238 kcalories and 5g net protein per brownie, these will easily fit into a ketogenic meal plan.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F; line an 8 by 8-inch baking dish with 2 pieces of parchment paper so it hangs over all 4 sides and you can easily lift out the brownies later.
  • Add the chia seeds to a blender or food processor and process until powdered. Transfer to a large bowl along with the Swerve Confectioners, almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder; whisk to combine and set aside for now.
  • Melt the butter and chocolate together in a double boiler or microwave. Cool slightly, and then whisk in the eggs, cream, vanilla, molasses, and stevia glycerite.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir to combine.
  • Spread the batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared dish and sprinkle the chocolate chips on top.
  • Bake until the brownies are set along the outside, but still gooey in the center, about 17 to 20 minutes.
  • Cool completely before cutting into 12 brownies and serving.

I finally got to cross off a huge item on my to-do I finally got to cross off a huge item on my to-do list! Do you remember my other blog Healthy Sweet Eats? Until today, the last time I posted there was February 2020! I even had content ready, recipes developed and photographed, and I have absolutely no excuse for myself lol. 😱🙈😅

More than just wanting to get back into posting regularly there, I wanted to give that space a fresh new look! I'm pretty thrilled that today it's done (with just a couple very minor decorative tweaks I still want to make). 💗

Not only does Healthy Sweet Eats have a fresh new face, but today I shared my recipe for #sugarfree Berry Sorbet 🍓🫐🍒, which uses frozen berries and comes together in just 5 minutes for the most delicious dose of antioxidants I've ever had.

Take a peek at the redesign and let me know what you think! 😘 Find this recipe on my other blog Healthy Sweet Eats (the direct link is in my link tree in my profile) --> https://www.healthysweeteats.com/sugar-free-berry-sorbet-recipe/

This year I made a new charoset recipe for tonight This year I made a new charoset recipe for tonight’s #seder! In addition to apple, nuts, and cinnamon, it’s heavy on the apricot and I think it’s my favorite version yet. 🥰 And by that I mean it’s good enough to enjoy year-round and not just save for #passover. I will definitely be sharing the recipe on my blog soon. 😘 #chagsemeach #pesach #pesach2021 #dayenu #foodstyling #foodphotography
This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it' This really isn't the prettiest dish. 🙈 But it's nourishing and uncomplicated, mostly cabbage and ground beef and a few other veggies along with a couple spices. It's #paleo and easy to make #lowcarb and #ketofriendly. And it doesn't need a lot of time; just 10 minutes of prep time and 20 minutes to cook. The best part is, it's so much more delicious than you might think! What it lacks in looks, it definitely makes up for in other ways. 🥰 Find my Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls recipe on @anediblemosaic --> https://www.anediblemosaic.com/unstuffed-cabbage-rolls-recipe/

These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as y These are supposed to be French Crullers, but as you can see they look nothing like they're supposed to! 🙈😁 I'd call the recipe a flop in that sense, except for 2 things: 1) they still taste great (swipe through to the last photo showing their pillow-y interior), and 2) I made them on a Zoom call together with my dear friend Evelyene (@cultureatz). Eve and I virtually met around the time we both started blogging (she lives in Montreal), which was over a decade ago (it's crazy to think how fast time flies!).

When we first met in real life last year before the pandemic hit, it was an instant connection. It was lots of laughs, local exploration, good food, great conversation, and she even brought me bagels from her hometown! She's a kindred soul. 🥰❤️ Since then we've stayed connected and have spent a few afternoons cooking together. We've made Russian dumplings called Pelmeni and we had a holiday cake-off where I made a Gingerbread Roll Cake and Eve made a Pumpkin Roll Cake.

She and I used the same recipe for French Crullers and it didn't work as expected for either of us (just wait until you see how Evelyne's turned out, they're completely different from mine!), but still I'd call it a success.

I think this delicious disaster deserves to be commemorated, so I wanted to style and photograph them. Even though the prop styling is minimal, it's an eclectic grouping:

1) Background: Scrap marble at a floor tile store in Jacksonville, Florida. The lady was awesome, she told me to look around and take any scrap tile I could use.
2) Cake stand (swipe through to see it better): I got this at my favorite ceramics store in Paris, France called @astierdevillatte in May 2015.
3) Espresso cups: Seller @madhouseceramics on @etsy.
4) Small spoons: Seller Ann Cutting from ceramicpix on @etsy.
5) Espresso: My favorite espresso @lavazzausa.

If you're craving soup before the weather starts w If you're craving soup before the weather starts warming up where you live, this Butternut Squash Soup is perfect. 💙🧡 It's rich and creamy with warm spices and a touch of brown sugar to bring out the butternut's natural sweetness. And the best part is that it's made in the Instant Pot and only requires 15 minutes of hands-on prep time!
