PREPARATION TIME:
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients:
Brownies
- ⅔ cup Swerve Sweetener
- ½ cup butter melted but not hot
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 3 to 6 tablespoon water
Chocolate Ganache Frosting (optional)
- ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 ½ ounce unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoon powdered Swerve Sweetener
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
-
-
Preheat the oven to 350F and line a 9×9 inch metal baking pan with parchment paper with overhanging edges for easy removal. You can also use an 8×8 inch pan but the brownies will take longer to bake through.
-
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the sweetener, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
-
Whisk in the cocoa powder, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in 3 tablespoon water, adding more slowly to thin the batter as necessary. (Batter should be spreadable but not pourable).
-
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan, making sure to get it all the way to the edges. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until set.
-
Remove and let cool in the pan. Lift the brownies out by the edges of the parchment paper and set on a cutting board.
Chocolate Ganache Frosting
-
In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the cream to a simmer (watch carefully as such a small amount will cook quickly).
-
Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate. Let sit 3 minutes to melt, then whisk in the sweetener and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Spread over the cooled brownies and let set 20 minutes before cutting.
Notes:
Storage information
Store the brownies on the counter in a covered container for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for a week. They can also be frozen for several months. Wrap them up tightly to avoid freezer burn.
