Keto is not known for being the most dessert friendly diet, given that is it completely anti sugar, and the small amounts of fruit you can work into the diet aren't enough to make a decent dessert. There have been a few sugar free brownie recipes floating around but they all use almond flour. To add extra difficulties I needed a nut free recipe as littlest niece is allergic. So this recipe is a sugar free, nut free, low carb chocolate hit, which is exactly what it needed to be!
Ingredients (Makes 16 brownies)
80g Lindt 90% chocolate
120g Unsalted butter
75g Unsweetened Cocoa
3 eggs (beaten)
100g Sunflower Seed flour (I ground sunflower seeds in an electric coffee grinder and passed it through a sieve so it was all a fine powder)
1 tsp Baking Powder
20g Pure Via sweetner ( Splenda doesn't work unless you add a tonne)
1 tbsp (varies) of liquid sweetener
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees
1. Melt the chocolate, butter and cocoa in a pan on a gentle heat.
2. Remove from the heat and add in the grandular sweetner.
3. Add the beaten eggs and beat the mixture into a batter.
4. Add the sunflower Seed flour and the baking powder last.
5. Taste the batter and sweetened to taste using liquid sweetner.
6. Bake at 180 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
7. Cut into 16 pieces and cool on a cooling rack.

N.B. These brownies are quite bitter sweet, I couldn't eat more than one so the 4g of carbs was worth it. My flatmate who is a massive sugar junkie didn't think they were sweet enough so you may need to increase the sweetener if you have a particularly sweet tooth, but be warned this will increase the carbs quite quickly.
