Spread the Love Keto Zone® Brownies

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 3 tablespoons raw cacao powder (or cocoa powder)
• 1 scoop  Keto Zone® Hydrolyzed Collagen (Chocolate Flavor)
• 3/4 cup low-carb sweetener such as allulose or monk fruit 
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tablespoon instant coffee (optional)
• 10 tablespoons grass-fed butter
• ¼ cup 80% sugar-free dark chocolate chips (extra for sprinkling)*
• 2 eggs at room temperature
• ½ teaspoon (sugar-free) vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a square 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper (or grease with avocado or coconut oil very well).
2. Whisk almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, low-carb sweetener, and instant coffee in a medium bowl, making sure to break any clumps.
3. Melt butter and chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir well. If not completely melted, repeat for 30 seconds and stir again. Allow cooling slightly.
4. Add eggs and vanilla to chocolate. Then, fold in dry ingredients until mixed (do not overmix and brownie may become too cakey).
5. Pour batter into a baking dish. Optionally, sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons sugar-free chocolate chips over top of batter.
6. Bake for ~20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out just moist. Allow to cool completely. Recipe makes 16 small squares.
7. To use in Keto Zone® Ice Cream Sandwiches, cut brownie squares horizontally to make 2 thin brownies. Place 2-3 tablespoons of ice cream in the middle and enjoy!

*If unable to find sugar-free chips, chop a sugar-free 80% cacao bar.
