Ingredients
• The Flourless Base: 2 cups Almond Flour or 1 cup Coconut Flour (provides a “velvety” crumb without the wheat).
• The “Sugar-Free” Sweetener: 3/4 cup Monk Fruit or Erythritol (powdered works best for that smooth, fudge-like set).
• The Bind: 3 large Eggs and ½ cup unsweetened Greek Yogurt (this is the “magic touch” for moisture).
• The Dark Depth: ½ cup unsweetened Cocoa Powder and 1 tsp Vanilla Extract.
• The Glossy Coating: 1 cup Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate Chips melted with 1 tbsp Coconut Oil (this creates the professional shine seen in your photo).
• The Crunch (Optional): ½ cup chopped Walnuts or Pecans for a rustic “wow” factor.
Preparation Steps
1. The Batter: In a large glass bowl, whisk the eggs, sweetener, and Greek yogurt until smooth. Stir in the cocoa powder and almond flour until the batter is thick and dark.
2. The Bake: Pour the mixture into a parchment-lined square pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes. Do not overbake! You want them slightly underdone for that “melt-in-your-mouth” fudginess.
3. The Cooling: Let the brownies cool completely. This is crucial for the flourless base to firm up into perfect squares.
4. The “Miracle” Glaze: Melt your sugar-free chocolate chips with coconut oil in a small bowl. Pour it generously over the cooled brownie slab, letting it pool and smooth out just like the glossy finish in your picture.
5. The Set: Place the pan in the fridge for 30 minutes to let the chocolate coating snap.
6. The Slice: Use a warm knife to cut into even squares. Arrange them in a red serving dish for that festive, professional look shown in your photo.
