Oh, brownie brittle. That crunchy, chewy, decadent treat is on the menu once again with my Keto Brownie Brittle Recipe. This recipe is as easy as melting some chocolate and mixing a handful of ingredients into it. This easy recipe is low carb, keto, gluten-free, grain-free, sugar-free, and Trim Healthy Mama friendly.
I made this brownie brittle over a month ago and this was a top choice when I polled readers to see which recipe I should post next. But with moving in less than 2 weeks, a sleep-away summer camp for the whole family (we volunteer), and my brother-in-law’s wedding I’m just getting around to it now. I really hope it was worth the wait. Thanks for your patience!
Baking with Alternative Flours
It can be tricky to get recipes with alternative flours to crisp up. I’ve found that using gelatin as a binding agent instead of eggs helps create crisper baked goods. However, even with that trick, this brownie brittle really needs to be stored in the fridge or freezer. I love it right from the freezer on a hot day.
After I made it I stuck the tray in my deep freeze and every time I went down to the basement to move over the laundry I would sneak a piece as payment. Laundry should always come with brownie brittle, am I right or am I right?
How to melt chocolate?
I normally melt my chocolate in the microwave. As long as you go slowly and stir frequently you shouldn’t burn it. I do 45 seconds, stir, 30 seconds, stir, and then repeat if needed. Once it is 75% melted just keep stirring and the last pieces should melt.
