Flourless Chocolate Brownies
When I think of dessert, I almost always think of brownies first. Warm, fudgy brownies wth toppings galore.
Brownies are great for an individual treat, family treat or even a large gathering treat. You can use a plate and put some tasty ice cream over a warm brownie. Or pick one up and walk around while eating it.
A perfect, versatile dessert.
How to Make Flourless Chocolate Brownies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper. You can use a 9x9 or a 9x13 depending on what thickness you want your brownies to be. Spray parchment paper with nonstick spray.
Add chocolate morsels, butter, and peanut butter to a microwave safe bowl. Heat for about 1 minute, stirring at 30 seconds so it doesn't burn.
Remove from the microwave and add sweetener, cocoa powder, and salt. Combine well.
In a separate, small bowl, whisk eggs and add vanilla.
Add egg mixture to chocolate mixture. Transfer batter to prepared baking dish. Spread evenly.
Bake for 35-40 minutes in a 9x9 baking dish or 30 to 35 minutes in a 13x9 baking dish.
You'll want the middle of the brownies to be slightly soft when you remove from the oven. Cool completely in the pan.
Lift brownies using the parchment paper, slice and serve.
How Do You Know When Brownies Are Done?
I generally determine if my brownies are done in 2 different ways:
The first way is with a toothpick test.
I will poke the middle of the brownie with a toothpick. The way that I like it to took is to have a small amount of batter on the toothpick. A SMALL amount. If the toothpick is totally clean, chances are you've overcooked them, especially if you like fudgy brownies.
If the toothpick is dripping with batter then the brownies are most definitely not done.
The second way I can determine if my brownies are done is to jiggle the pan a bit. If the entire pan of brownies jiggles then they are not done. If there is no jiggle, it is more than done. BUT, if the center is just a tiny bit jiggly then that is when I know they are done!
Do You Need to Use Flour in Brownies?
Surprisingly, no. Flourless baking is rather unique and not everything will turn out. But if you use the right combination of ingredients, then you definitely don't need any kind of flours in brownies such as these flourless brownies!
How to Store Flourless Chocolate Brownies
In order for these chocolate low arb brownies to stay fresh, you will want to keep them cool in the refrigerator. I like to let them cool completely before packaging them up for storage.
Speaking of packaging them up, they keep the best when in an airtight container.
