Ingredients

Brownie Batter

1 cup almond flour 112g / 4 oz
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder 50g / 1.76 oz
¾ cup erythritol 150g / 5.29 oz
1 tsp baking powder 4g / 0.14 oz
¼ tsp salt 1g / 0.035 oz
3 large eggs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted 113g / 4 oz
1 tsp vanilla extract 5ml

Peanut Butter Swirl

½ cup natural peanut butter 128g / 4.5 oz
2 tbsp powdered erythritol 24g / 0.85 oz
1 tbsp coconut oil, melted 15ml
½ tsp vanilla extract 2.5ml

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the melted butter and vanilla extract.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients and stir until you have a smooth batter.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the peanut butter, powdered erythritol, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture onto the brownie batter. Use a knife to swirl the peanut butter into the batter, creating a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan before cutting into 12 squares.

Notes

Ensure your peanut butter is sugar-free and natural to keep these brownies keto-friendly.

If you're not a fan of erythritol, you can substitute with another keto-friendly sweetener like stevia or monk fruit sweetener. Adjust the amount based on the sweetness level of your chosen sweetener.

These brownies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
