Keto Peanut Butter Brownies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. This makes removing the brownies easier and prevents sticking.

Lightly grease the parchment paper with butter or cooking spray for extra protection.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, combine:

• Almond flour
• Cocoa powder
• Baking powder
• Salt

Whisk thoroughly to remove lumps and evenly distribute the ingredients.

This step helps ensure the brownies bake evenly and have a smooth texture.

Step 3: Prepare the Wet Ingredients

In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and keto sweetener until smooth.

Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

The mixture should become glossy and slightly thick.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.

Use a spatula to fold everything together until fully combined.

Avoid overmixing because it can affect the soft brownie texture.

Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips for extra richness.

Step 5: Make the Peanut Butter Swirl

In a small bowl, combine:

• Peanut butter
• Powdered sweetener
• Heavy cream

Mix until smooth and creamy.

If the peanut butter is too thick, microwave it for 10–15 seconds to soften.

Step 6: Assemble the Brownies

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.

Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture across the surface.

Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the peanut butter into the batter. Create gentle patterns without overmixing.

This swirl effect gives the brownies a beautiful bakery-style appearance.
