INGREDIENT NOTES:
ZUCCHINI:
- Zucchini is use to prepare moist and tender brownies. It boosts the potassium and fiber content helps to lower the carbs.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- It is low-carb flour and contains lots of good fat that makes the base of these brownies and also provides the structure. It also provides the nutty taste which will accompany the chocolate flavor. Use fine almond flour to prepare nice texture of these brownies.
COCONUT FLOUR:
- Coconut flour absorbs moisture so we can add in these brownies. It helps to soak the excess zucchini moisture and provide the structure.
KETO COCOA POWDER:
- Dutch cocoa powder provides the deep chocolate flavor. It should be without excess sugar or sweetener to add fewer carbs. Natural cocoa powder is another option you can try for strong chocolate taste.
MONK FRUIT:
- Monk fruit is a keto sweetener use to sweeten these brownies. It mimics the sweetness of sugar without carbs. Erythritol is a great alternative of monk fruit. Change the amount of sweetener based on the one you’re using.
COCONT OIL:
- Coconut oil is use to add the moisture and healthy fat content in the dessert. It also helps to add the richness in these brownies. Refined coconut oil works well because it has a neutral taste or use unsalted butter.
VANILLA EXTRACT:
- It is use to provide the warm and deep aroma of vanilla in these brownies. This aroma will help to fix the egg smell. Avoid using artificial vanilla extract for the best results.
BAKING POWDER:
- Use only fresh baking powder to make the fluffy and airy brownies. It helps to raise the brownies better. Otherwise, they get dense and don’t provide perfect cake-like texture.
SALT:
- Salt is essential in all recipes to bring out the taste. It deepens the chocolaty taste and also fixes the sweet taste in these brownies.
KETO CHOCOLATE CHIPS:
- A Keto chocolate chip gives the extra chocolaty boost in these brownies. These should be sweetening with monk fruit or keto sweetener to avoid adding extra carbs.
