Ingredients
The best thing about this Carbquik recipe is that you only need a few simple ingredients. In fact, you probably already have everything you need if you already have a box of Carbquik baking mix.
Here’s what’s you’ll need for the recipe:
- Butter adds flavor helps provide a moist and tender texture.
- Sweetener – Use a keto friendly sugar alternative like BochaSweet or Lakanto Classic.
- Eggs act as an emulsifier that makes the batter creamy.
- Vanilla extract adds sweetness and flavor.
- Cocoa powder gives the brownies a chocolate flavor.
- Carbquik is used as a low carb replacement for regular flour.
- Sugar-free chocolate chips make the brownies extra chocolately.
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine vanilla extract whit melted butter and egg.
Stir in sweetener, Carbquik, and cocoa. Stir till smooth.
Fold chocolate baking chips into the chocolate mixture.
Pour into an 8×8 square pan lined with parchment paper. Smooth down with a spatula.
Bake for 20 minutes at 350°F until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If you like undercooked brownies, start checking after 10 minutes for desired doneness.
When done, remove from oven and cool in pan on a wire rack. Then cut into squares when cooled completely.
Tips
- Add frosting. You can use your favorite low-carb chocolate frosting recipe to add a delicious chocolate topping.
- Reduce eggs to one. You’ll get a denser brownie with a more fudge-like texture if you cut the amount of eggs in half.
- Allow the brownies to cool completely. You will be able to cut the brownies better after they have cooled. Otherwise, they can be too crumbly and fall apart if cut warm.
- Top with baking chips. Save a few chips and sprinkle them on top before baking.
Serving suggestions
Once you have your brownies ready, there are several ways you can serve them up. One option is to cut them into squares and serve them as is. Another option is to top them with fresh fruit or berries for some extra sweetness and color.
But my favorite way to enjoy them is with a scoop of chocolate cheesecake ice cream on top!
FAQs
The recipe as-is tends to be more cake-like. If you prefer fudgy brownies, you can omit one egg and bake for a shorter time.
You can make an easy frosting by blending eight ounces of cream cheese with a few tablespoons of unsweetened almond milk, long with cocoa powder and sweetener to taste in a medium bowl.
It’s best to stay away from chips made with maltitol. Stevia or monk fruit sweetened baking chips are recommended for those following a low-carb diet.
Each square also has about 7 grams of net carbs. But Carbquik baking mix is not recommended for those following a strict keto diet because it contains wheat and gluten.
