Keto "Bocha" Almond Brownies
Start to Finish: 50 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup cacao butter
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder (1/4 cup mixed with cacao butter for melted chocolate)
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 3/4 cup BochaSweet
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup almond flour + 1 tablespoon
- 1/2 cup chopped almonds (optional)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Place 1/2 cup cocoa butter on a stove top or over a double boiler in a heat-proof bowl. Add in 1/4 cup cacao powder and mix together until it makes a chocolate syrup consistency. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add in the eggs, egg yolk, and BochaSweet for a few minutes or until light and fluffy. Turn on your mixer on a low setting. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Next, slowly add in the chocolate syrup mixture until completely mixed.
- Add in the cocoa powder, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Fold in the chopped almonds. (Optional: you can add in your choice of nuts, chocolate chips, or whatever you desire). Blend on medium speed in your mixture until a creamy batter forms.
- Pour the batter using a rubber spatula into a greased 9x9 baking dish (layer with parchment paper if you prefer). Bake for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow to cool for 30 minutes before cutting. You can place in the freezer for at least 15 minutes after brownies cool to make it easier to cut.
