Ingredients (makes 16 brownies)

Brownies:

  • ½ cup (113g) butter, melted
  • ¾ cup powdered erythritol or allulose
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (50g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ⅓ cup (35g) almond flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

Chocolate Frosting:

  • 4 oz sugar-free chocolate chips (or chopped bar)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 2–3 tbsp powdered erythritol (optional, for extra sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter and sweetener until smooth.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well.
  4. Stir in cocoa powder, almond flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined (batter will be thick).

  6. Cool completely in the pan.
  7. Make the frosting: Melt sugar-free chocolate and butter together (microwave or double boiler). Stir in heavy cream and sweetener until smooth and glossy.
  8. Spread frosting over cooled brownies. Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until set.
  9. Cut into 16 squares and enjoy!
