About the Ingredients

1 1/2 cups (180g) almond flour

Almond flour is the low-carb base. Substitute with sunflower seed flour for a nut-free option, but note it may turn green due to chlorophyll.

1/2 cup (60g) coconut flour

Coconut flour absorbs moisture well. If substituting, use only 1/4 cup more almond flour, as coconut flour is highly absorbent.

1/2 cup (120g) butter, melted

Use unsalted butter for control over salt. For dairy-free, use coconut oil or ghee.

3 large eggs

Eggs provide structure. For an egg-free version, use flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water per egg).

1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream

Heavy cream adds richness. Replace with full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free option.

1/4 cup (60ml) sugar-free syrup

Use a good quality sugar-free syrup like monk fruit or erythritol-based. Adjust sweetness to taste.

1 tsp vanilla extract

Pure vanilla extract enhances flavor. Use vanilla bean paste for a more intense aroma.

1/2 tsp baking powder

Ensure it's gluten-free if needed. This helps the desserts rise.

1/4 tsp salt

Salt balances sweetness. Pink Himalayan salt adds minerals.

1/4 cup (40g) sugar-free chocolate chips

Choose chips sweetened with stevia or erythritol. Chop a dark chocolate bar (90% cacao) for a lower carb option.

Tips & Tricks

  • Measure almond flour and coconut flour correctly: spoon into the cup and level off, don't pack.
  • Don't overmix the batter; mix until just combined to keep the desserts tender.
  • Let the desserts cool completely before removing from the pan; they set as they cool.

Pro Tips

1

Use room temperature eggs for better incorporation.
2

Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it's too sticky to handle.
3

Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
4

For a richer flavor, brown the butter before adding it.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat and prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking pan or line with parchment paper.

2. Mix dry ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. This ensures even distribution.

3. Combine wet ingredients

In another bowl, mix melted butter, eggs, heavy cream, sugar-free syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Combine mixtures

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.

5. Pour and bake

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. Cool and serve

Allow the dessert to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and serve.

Delicious Variations

  • Add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans for a crunchy texture.
  • Swap chocolate chips with fresh berries for a fruity twist.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg for a spiced version.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use erythritol instead of sugar-free syrup?

Each serving has about 22 grams of carbs, including fiber. Net carbs are approximately 12 grams, making them suitable for a low-carb diet.

Q: Can I make these desserts gluten-free?

Absolutely! Both almond and coconut flours are naturally gluten-free, so these desserts are already gluten-free.
