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!

is the orange peeled?
Divalicious
No it's not. The boiling of the orange softens it and takes away any sharp taste of the peel. Hope you enjoy it!
