Ingredients needed for these low carb brownies
- Zucchini!
- Eggs
- Butter
- Almond flour (any finely ground almond flour like these)
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- baking soda
- Sukrin Fiber Syrup (Paleo people can use raw honey). I have also done these with Skinny Syrup but choose the Natural Keto syrups without sucralose. Also the texture will be slightly different, but still good!
- vanilla extract
- Lily’s dark chocolate chips
Tools Needed:
- 8 inch square pan
- parchment paper to line the pan
- mixing bowls
- box grater
- wooden spoon or spatula
Tips and Tricks for Perfectly Moist and Rich Keto Brownies
- Line the pan with parchment paper overlapping the edges (as shown in pic below) so you can carefully lift out the brownies
- Top with 1/4 cup sugar free chocolate chips if desired.
- Check with a toothpick after 20 minutes, the every 3 minutes. You do NOT want to overcook!
- Toothpick should be almost clean, not clean or they will be too dry.
- Brownies might seem underdone but they will set! Be patient!
- WARNING: If you use the Fiber Syrup, just know there is a reason it’s called FIBER syrup and you will know it if you OVER eat the brownies. Built in portion control. Just saying.

Can I use monkfruit in place of the /2 cup Sukrin Fiber Syrup? If so is it the same amount?
If it’s a monkfruit syrup then just substitute the same amount for the Sukrin syrup. If it’s a powder then you will have to find some way to replace that moisture that will be absent in the powder. So I can’t say what your results will be because I have not tried it that way.
