Ingredients
Here are the simple low-carb brownie bite ingredients:
- Whole Pecans - If you prefer, you can substitute walnuts. However, walnuts will add one net carb per brownie bite.
- Sea Salt - Enhances flavor.
- Cocoa Powder - Chocolatey taste.
- Almond or Peanut Butter - Adds texture, thickness, and flavor.
- Keto Granulated Sweetener - I prefer to use pure allulose or a monk fruit/allulose blend because sometimes erythritol-based sweeteners can leave a slight aftertaste. However, any granulated keto sweetener will work! If you use anything other than pure allulose, reduce the sweetener to ¼ cup, as other sweeteners are stronger than allulose.
- Coconut Flour - For thickness, as needed
- Filtered Water - To thin out the batter as needed.
- Keto Chocolate Chips - My favorite sugar-free chocolate chips are Lily's and ChocZero!
- Pure Vanilla - If possible, use pure vanilla, not the imitation variety.
🔪 Easy instructions
Step #1: Add the pecans or walnuts and sea salt to the bowl of a food processor. While I prefer the taste of walnuts, pecans have fewer carbs, and either one will work!
Process until the nuts are broken up into small pieces.
Step #2: Add cocoa powder, allulose, and almond or peanut butter and process until combined.
💭Top Tip: Depending on the thickness of your nut butter, you may need to add either coconut flour or water to achieve the right consistency. You want the batter to hold together and roll into a ball easily.
For really thin nut butter, you may need to add coconut flour, 1 Tablespoon at a time, until the bites hold together.
If your nut butter is fairly thick, your batter may be crumbly. If this happens, add water, 1 Tablespoon at a time, until it comes together.
Step #3: Briefly pulse in some low-carb chocolate chips. Then, roll them into 18 bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step #4: Place in the freezer for 15 minutes to set up and enjoy!
Storage
