Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups almond flour (150g)
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour (15g)
  • ½ cup erythritol (100g) or monk fruit sweetener
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (25g) (optional)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • ½ cup softened butter (115g)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (115g)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)
  • For optional frosting: 4 oz cream cheese (115g), 2 tbsp butter (30g), 2 tbsp heavy cream (30ml), 2 tbsp erythritol (25g), splash of vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease your baking pan lightly with butter or line with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder if using.
  4. In another bowl, beat eggs, softened butter, cream cheese, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer).
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently to combine without overmixing.
  6. Fold in optional mix-ins like sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts if desired.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake brownies or bars for 20-25 minutes; muffins for 18-20 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick—it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  9. Allow desserts to cool completely in the pan to firm up the texture.
  10. For optional frosting, whip cream cheese, butter, heavy cream, erythritol, and vanilla until creamy and spread over cooled desserts.

Notes

Keep ingredients at room temperature for best texture. Measure ingredients carefully to avoid dense or crumbly results. Avoid overmixing the batter. Use a blend of erythritol and monk fruit sweetener to reduce aftertaste. Let desserts cool fully before slicing. Add almond milk if batter is too thick or more almond flour if too runny. Resist opening the oven early to prevent sinking.
