  • 3/4 cup Almond Flour
  • 2/3 cup powdered erythritol
  • 2 tbsp Cocoa powder

  2. Melt the butter and chocolate together in a double boiler, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Remove from heat.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. Pour batter into the pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. If desired, sprinkle with chocolate chips and press into the top.
  6. Bake for about 13-18 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out almost clean with just a little batter on it that balls up between your fingers. (Don’t wait for it to come out totally clean, and don't worry about any butter pooled on top - just watch the actual brownie part to be super soft but not fluid.)
  7. Cool completely before moving or cutting. There may be some butter pooled on top - do not drain it, it will absorb back in after cooling.
