This brownie recipe has been my saviour since I started a low carb diet. Perfect for when chocolate cravings hit, these Brownies taste as good as the real thing, without the carbs and sugar. Ground almonds replace flour, which give them a rich and nut tier flavour and erythritol replaces the sugar but you won't miss out on the sweetness at all!


Perfect served warm or cold, I love to eat these with an extra dollop of heavy cream for extra added indulgence!

Sticky, gooey, super indulgent chocolate Brownies with half the guilt!

Ground almonds and erythritol replace flour and sugar to replicate the gooey texture of regular Brownies without the carbs!

Eggs are whisked with coconut oil.

And then mixed into the almond mixture to form a batter.

The brownie mixture is then baked for 18 minutes until set.

A rich and silky chocolate ganache is made with dark chocolate, heavy cream and butter.

Which is then spread on top of the sticky Brownies.
