Chocolate Orange Brownies (Coconut Flour)

Keto coconut flour brownies that taste like a Terry's chocolate orange are made with a boiled whole orange. They are a moist and delicious brownie that is also gluten free.

I have an almond flour cake recipe which requires a whole orange to be boiled then added to the cake mixture, so I thought that I would try this method for a chocolate and orange brownie recipe.  It works wonderfully.

Although oranges are not strictly low carb just one is used in this recipe and the brownie is served into 9 squares. The net carbs are 4g per square.

Making keto coconut flour brownies

I used coconut flour as this would soak up the moisture of the boiled orange without being too dry.  I was delighted with the results, as the brownie was indeed moist and not too strong in orange flavour.

 The smell of the orange boiling is delightful too! A natural air freshener for your kitchen.

Recipe Tips

I have also made this adding a few chunks of chocolate into the mixture before popping it into the oven.  I've not shown this below as I was trying to keep the carbs as low as I could but please feel free to add extra chocolate to yours!
