Introduction

These Keto Brookies combine the best of both worlds: rich, fudgy brownies and chewy chocolate chip cookies, all low-carb and perfect for a keto diet. They’re easy to make and satisfying for anyone craving a sweet treat without the sugar.

Ingredients

• 1 ⅓ cups super-fine blanched almond flour (cookie layer)
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar-free sweetener (cookie layer)
• ½ tsp baking soda (cookie layer)
• ¼ tsp salt (cookie layer)
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened (cookie layer)
• 1 large egg (cookie layer)
• ½ tsp vanilla extract (cookie layer)
• ⅓ cup sugar-free chocolate chips (cookie layer)
• ⅔ cup super-fine blanched almond flour (brownie layer)
• ½ cup granulated sugar-free sweetener (brownie layer)
• ¼ cup Dutch cocoa powder (brownie layer)
• ½ tsp baking powder (brownie layer)
• ¼ tsp salt (brownie layer)
• 3 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened (brownie layer)
• 1 large egg (brownie layer)
• 3 Tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips (brownie layer)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 °F and line an 8×8 inch square pan with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: For the cookie layer, combine almond flour, sweetener, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Add softened butter and stir until evenly mixed. Then add the egg and vanilla extract, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
3. Step 3: Spoon about two-thirds of the cookie dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Use wet fingers to gently spread it evenly across the bottom.
4. Step 4: For the brownie layer, mix almond flour, sweetener, Dutch cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Add softened butter, then the egg, stirring until combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
5. Step 5: Spoon the brownie batter over the cookie dough layer. Spread it evenly with the back of a spoon or wet fingers.
6. Step 6: Take the remaining one-third of the cookie dough and drop it in small dollops over the brownie layer, leaving some brownie peeking through.
7. Step 7: Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until set and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
8. Step 8: Allow the brookies to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Tips & Variations

• Use wet fingers or a buttered spatula to spread the dough layers easily without sticking.
• Swap sugar-free sweetener for your preferred keto-friendly option like erythritol or monk fruit.
• For extra texture, add chopped nuts to either layer.
• If you don’t have Dutch cocoa powder, natural cocoa powder works but may produce a slightly different flavor.

Storage

Store the keto brookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, warm briefly in the microwave or let them come to room temperature for the best texture.

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C) to ensure it’s at the right temperature when you start baking.
2. Prepare Pan: Line an 8×8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal and a mess-free bake.
3. Make Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, sugar-free sweetener, baking soda, and salt. Add the softened butter and stir until the mixture is evenly distributed. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until the dough comes together. Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips gently.
4. Form Cookie Base: Spoon about two-thirds of the cookie dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Use wet fingers to evenly spread the dough, forming a smooth, uniform base.

• Wetting your fingers when spreading dough layers helps prevent sticking and spreads the dough more evenly.
• Store brookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
• Let the brookies cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.
