Ingredients
Brownies
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ¾ cup monk fruit sweetener or other low carb sweetener
- ¼ cup cocoa powder unsweetened
- ¾ cup butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons monk fruit sweetener or other low carb sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Make the Brownies
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with butter or oil.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sweetener, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder until evenly combined. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, white vinegar and red food coloring. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently with a spatula or mixer on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top for even baking.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before removing. This prevents them from breaking apart.
Make the Cream Cheese Frosting
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, sweetener, vanilla and butter together until smooth.
- Slather over the cooled brownie and slice into squares.
- Serve and enjoy!
