Carbs in Traditional Brownies
One brownie sized about 2 by 2 or 43 grams, has 24.1 grams of carbs, according to the app Cronometer.
Regular brownies are not something you will want to eat when on a keto diet or low carb diet if you are wanting to avoid spiking your blood sugar and also avoid sugar cravings.
Carbs in our Sugar-Free Brownie Recipe
Our delicious brownie recipe makes 12 good size servings and has just 4 total carbs per brownie. All remaining nutritional information is on the recipe card at the bottom of this blog post.
Sugar Free Chocolate Chips
You can use milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips for this recipe. I love the brand Lily's Sweets for semi-sweet sugar free chocolate chips.
I avoid using sugar free chocolate chips that contain sugar alcohols like Maltitol or Sorbitol since they often cause GI distress in most people. I don't recommend using unsweetened chocolate as it will produce a drier texture in these fudge brownies.
If you're not a fan of stevia or Lily's chocolate chips, this brand, Good Sam uses Allulose to sweeten their chocolate chips. I've noticed they aren't as sweet as Lily's chips but they are a good option nonetheless.
Enjoy Life is an allergy friendly brand though not sugar free but still an option if you prefer.
If you can't find sugar free chocolate chips, you could swap with 86% dark chocolate bars. I'd recommend chopping up the bar into small pieces to make it easier to melt with the butter and sunflower seed butter.
Healthy sugar free desserts don't have to be difficult to make or use hard to find ingredients. I try my best to bring you easy recipes, but there are times when for best results some low carb and keto recipes do require ingredients that are not traditional.
This is a fact of baking without gluten and white flour. Learning how to stock your pantry is important and does take time, but if you consider this a lifestyle not a diet, and as an investment in your future and health, it's is worth it.
Cakey Brownies versus Fudgy Brownies
In my first testing of this flourless brownie recipe, I had added in some unsweetened cocoa powder and felt they tasted great, but I was going for fudgey brownies, not cakey brownies.
So the second batch, I completely omitted the unsweetened cocoa powder and increased the sugar free chocolate chips used. I was much happier with the fudge like texture and gorgeous crackly tops.
If you want more cakey brownies, simply add just 2 tablespoons of unsweetened dark cocoa powder to the batter.
Can I make these healthy brownies with flax eggs?
I have not tested this recipe using any egg substitutes. I do think it could work since you only need to replace 3 eggs, but again I have not tested this to be sure on how texture will be.
You always run the risk of a recipe not working out with best results when you change an original ingredient.
Can I skip the coffee extract?
You can skip the coffee extract but it really does enhance the rich chocolate flavor in any recipe you add it to.
I learned that long ago from Ina Garten on the Food Network, who added it to her chocolate sorbet, and I then used it in my own version of her recipe, making it a Sugar Free Chocolate Sorbet recipe. It works beautifully to create an intense chocolate flavor!
I promise you will not detect any coffee flavor in these brownies. Only chocolate will be the star in this fantastic flourless brownie recipe!
Can I change the low carb sweetener?
The chocolate monk fruit sweetener works great as well to increase the chocolate flavor of these delicious flourless brownies. But you can use any low carb sugar alternative you like.
Here's my Sweetener guide and conversion chart to help you decide how much to use for best results.
I often get the question about using coconut sugar or maple syrup to replace the low carb sweeteners in my recipes.
Yes, you could replace my low carb sweeteners with either of those, but please note that you are adding sugar to the recipe and the nutritional value below will increase with carbs, calories and sugar content.
Can I leave out the sunflower butter?
I would not recommend skipping the sunflower butter as it helps give these brownies that smooth, thick and gooey texture. You could replace with unsweetened natural peanut butter, or almond butter.
