Little Debbie Fudge Brownies
My Homemade Little Debbie Fudge Brownies Recipe are a better than a copycat version of those favorite lunch box treats. They are low carb, keto, grain gluten and sugar-free, and a THM S recipe.
I’m sure I’m not the only one tempted by those cello packed brownies in the check out lanes. They are one of the things that remind me of my school days just like Oatmeal Cream Pies and digging one out of my lunch box. I caved into my pregnancy craving and bought one a couple of months ago and ya know what? It wasn’t even that good. I knew I good make one healthier that tasted better.
Can I Freeze this Fudge Brownies Recipe?
This makes a big batch of 24 healthy brownies. They freeze well so you can wrap them individually and pull one out as needed. It’s always good to have an emergency dessert waiting in the freezer. I suggest freezing a few before the rest of your family members taste them. They won’t last long if they get to them first.
Nuts in Brownies
If you are not a fan of walnuts feel free to sub in another nut or chocolate chips for an extra chocolatey brownie. Walnuts are not my favorite nut but I do like them in brownies. Pecans are at the top of my nut list and I bet they would be amazing in this recipe.
I decided to let the baby help. By the time I was done, there were a few more splotches on my belly. I should really start wearing an apron.
Frosting for Fudge Brownies
The ganache I used to ice these is a great basic chocolate icing for cakes and cupcakes as well. It sets up to be the consistency of fudge in the refrigerator.
Isn’t ganache beautiful? Silky, creamy, chocolate is one of the best things ever.
Parchment Paper to Avoid Sticking
And there it is. A nice slab of fudgy brownies ready to be cut! And it is easy to lift the whole thing out and cut the brownies when you line the pan with parchment.
I hope you enjoy these Homemade Little Debbie Fudge Brownies!

Homemade Little Debbie Fudge Brownies
Ingredients
Brownie Ingredients:
- 4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate
- 6 oz salted butter (1.5 sticks)
- 1 cups Joy Filled Eats Sweetener (or see alternatives in recipe notes)
- 3 eggs room temperature
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup walnuts
Fudge Icing Ingredients:
- 7 oz 85% dark chocolate (two 3.5 oz bars)
- 7 oz heavy cream
- 6-8 tbsp Joy Filled Eats Sweetener (or see alternatives in recipe notes) finely ground
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Line a 9 x 13 baking dish with parchment paper or foil and spray with cooking spray.
- Melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter in a glass bowl in the microwave. Add the rest of the brownie ingredients and stir until smooth.
- Pour into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 min or until no longer jiggly. Cool completely.
- Heat the cream in the microwave for 2 minutes or in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbles form around the edge. Remove from heat and add the chocolate. Stir until melted. Add the sweetener and whisk until smooth and shiny. Pour over the cooled brownies and spread evenly.
- Store in the fridge or freeze for later.
I tried the recipe and the brownie part came out great but the frosting part was thin and not real thick like a frosting. I had to put them in the freezer to harden a little before I could cut and separate into individual servings.
Did you whisk the ganache well? Doing that or blending in a blender or food processor thickens it to a frosting constituency. This is supposed to be thin enough to spread smoothly.
These look amazing!
Any substitutions for the cream to make them mostly dairy free with the exception of the butter?
You could use coconut cream in the icing.
I made them and they were delicious, but they are coming up as 11.3g/9.3g carb on My Fitness Pal 🙁
MFP does not subtract the sugar alcohols from the sweetener. I do that manually when calculating my nutrition facts. I’m glad you liked them 🙂
I have coconut flour but no almond or baking blend… any suggestions to modify? Thanks!
Brownies are very fickle. I would look for a recipe that only uses coconut flour instead of trying to modify this one. But, if you really want to try this one I would try coconut flour in half the amount of almond flour called for.
Would love to try these, but not to keen on stevia… could you sub Lakanto Monkfruit sweetener instead? Thanks!
I think so but you will need more. It is not as sweet as the blend I use. If you haven’t tried gentle sweet or my blend you will be surprised. You really can’t taste the stevia.
If I could I would like give this recipe twenty stars! I just love it so much! In my younger days of junk food cravings I ate a lot of Little Debbie Fudge Brownies! It’s so nice to have a sugar free version that will not make my blood sugar go up! I keep them in the freezer individually wrapped for a snack and my husband takes them in his lunches!
My egg error turned out ok. It’s like brownie brittle 🙂
Oooo. I need to try it without the eggs now!
Followed your recipe exactly and these were delicious! Perfect when I need that brownie.
I wrote the recipe down and realized as I was about to put it in the pan there were no eggs. Somehow looking at your recipe a second time I missed eggs on the list again. I put them in the oven. Oops. I guess I will have some flat dry brownies to figure out how to use up.
Whenever I goof on a sweet recipe I try to redeem it but making cake balls or truffles. Try this if they don’t come out: joyfilledeats.com/fudge-brownie-truffles
I do not have almond flour only coconut flour and THM baking blend. I would like to use only baking blend for these. I’m thinking 1/4 cup of baking blend. How much do you think I would need?
I normally recommend using a little bit less because bb can be drier than almond flour.
I have almond flour and THM Baking Blend, but no cocount flour. Would I be able to increase the almond flour or substitute with the BB? Thank you for this recipe, these brownies have always been a favorite!
I would replace the coconut flour with baking blend. It is a little closer to coconut flour constituency wise.
I only have Truvia for my sweetener. Do I need to grind it or is fine as it is?
I’m not very familiar with truvia but maybe someone else will chime in.
Oh my goodness! These are amazing! I made them last night and let them sit out in our COLD garage overnight so I could cut and “baggie up” some for the freezer. It seems every time I make a desert, it’s gone in NO TIME and none for snacks later…sooo, I’m hiding some right now! Thank you so much Taryn. I wish I could post a pic! And, a side note…one of my friends calls me Little Debbie. 😀
I’m not a big fan of nuts in my brownie… Can I skip it all together? Or should I add a cup of chopped chocolate or chocolate chips?
Thanks!
You can skip the nuts.
