keto snickers brownies
Ingredients:
For the Brownie Base:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or sweetener of your choice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Snickers Layer:
- 1 cup sugar-free creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or sweetener of your choice
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts
For the Chocolate Ganache:
- 1/2 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, and salt for the brownie base.
- Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Bake the brownie base in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs.
- While the brownie base is baking, prepare the Snickers layer. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the peanut butter, powdered erythritol, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Stir in the chopped roasted peanuts.
- Once the brownie base is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Spread the peanut butter Snickers layer evenly over the brownie base.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the sugar-free dark chocolate chips with the heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until you have a smooth and glossy ganache.
- Pour the chocolate ganache over the Snickers layer and spread it out evenly.
- Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until the ganache has set.
- Once the keto Snickers brownies have set, remove them from the baking dish using the parchment paper and cut them into squares.
