Reviews
I expected the usual keto reaction not the dryness of the recipe. I will read over other reviews for suggestions.
These are super good, you must eat them cold out of the fridge for best consistency. Only change I made was using Allulose instead of Stevia.
Husband LOVED these. He’s more dedicated to Keto than me. I stuck to the recipe but added (not keto) chocolate chips. It was slightly bitter to me but I enjoyed the cakey texture.
Sorry, didn’t like this at all, even tried warming a pice up and eating it with keto ice cream, couldn’t enjoy it. Was dry & crumy with not such great flavor. I wouldn’t recommend this recipe.
I added 3/4 cup of pecans to this recipe. It came out really tasty
It was ok, the almond flour makes the texture odd, but , keto. They are ok. I would look for I different recipe.
For what this recipe is, it is good. You will definitely not mistake these for traditional brownies, but for what they are, they’ll satisfy your brownie cravings. I added a splash of heavy cream to the batter to give it some richness & extra moistness. They came out of the oven smelling great & with a fudge-like consistency. I found the ingredients kind of pricey (almond flour, coconut oil) but I guess that’s what happens when we try to cut sugar. I used generic Splenda since that’s what I had on-hand and I didn’t find them bitter.
Definitely bitter and the stevia aftertaste lingered. Good “cake-like” consistancy though.
Nope. Terrible! Made for Christmas. Everyone left them on their plates after one bite. Waste of time and money.
Amazing brownies! After reading a few reviews, I also substituted the oil for butter & used Swerve. Turned out perfectly. My now goto brownie recipe.
Used 1/2 cup of Truvia. That was the only difference I made and I thought they turned out very well. Will definitely be making these again!
Followed the recipe to the letter. I thought when I was making it that it seemed like it called for a lot of coconut oil. The brownies looked amazing but they were extremely bitter (which may be due to the stevia) but the coconut taste was overwhelming. In all fairness, it’s hard to make keto desserts that taste decent, it will just never like the real thing.
Not very moist. The batter was very dry. It was okay. Did the trick.
These we’re AHHHMAZIMG!!! I substituted the vanilla for coconut extract which paired nicely with the cocnut oil. I also topped w/ a sprinkle of sugar free chocolate chips. I am kicking myself for leaving out walnuts/pecans. I will ne making these again.
This was very easy to make and it satisfies your chocolate fix! It was also “husband approved”! We have been doing low carb diet and I needed something for my husband to eat at family get togethers. Turns out others like them too! Even the kids!
Good flavor when making them with Swerve (stevia gives me a bitter aftertaste no matter what I use it in). These brownies have a more cake like consistency, but I still liked them.
Relish!
These came out sooo good and moist! I used monk fruit sugar instead of stevia because I can not stand the after taste of stevia. I also added some chopped up pecans for a crunch. My kids even approved!
I switched the sweetener to Swerve granular sugar as well. Stevia has too much of a bad aftertaste for me. I ate one with my husband after the oven and I had a slight aftertaste. Had one the next day fully cooled and much better texture and flavor.
I only put half the stevia in the brownies so it would not be too sweet. I let them cool then cut them into small squares to make brownie bites. I bagged them up and put them into the fridge. Making them cold made them totally awesome!!!! And I had brownies for breakfast this morning
I think I prefer sugar and flour in my desserts…. that said, it was nice and moist, and my coworker liked it.
