Equipment

Oven
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- ⅓ cup full-fat cream cheese softened
- ½ cup melted extra dark chocolate 85–90%, cooled slightly
- 1 teaspoon or 2g pure monk fruit powder, adjusted to taste OR ⅓ cup of allulose
- ⅓ cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips folded into batter
Optional:
- 1/4 cup Chopped macadamia nuts or any nuts you like I made it with walnuts and hazel nuts too and it was delish.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 or 9×9 baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk melted butter and softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add eggs and whisk until fully combined.
- Stir in melted dark chocolate, sweetener, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- Add dry ingredients to wet mixture and stir until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth evenly.
- Bake for 20 minutes (check at 18–19 minutes if using 9×9).
- Remove when center is set but still slightly soft — toothpick should show moist crumbs.
- Cool completely before slicing into 16 squares.
Notes
Note 1: if using pure monk fruit sweetener, be very careful; it's strong, so only use no more than 2 teaspoons for this brownie. Granulated monk fruit with erythritol, which is more common, is very different; erythritol is not as sweet and dilutes the intensity of monk fruit. Read my article that explains all about these sweeteners HERE>
Note 2: You can use a 9 x 9 inch baking pan if that's all you have. I know it's a more common size in most kitchens, you will just get a slightly flatter almond flour brownie, but it will still work. 9 x 9 inches is around 23 x 23 cm.Nutrition
