Paleo and Keto Double Chocolate Fudge Brownies

Hey guys!

Hard to believe we are almost at the end of the week. I just made a joke with my family telling them that if they gain weight this week it’s not my fault.. and that’s because I have been baking these bad boys ALL week long. They’ve had to endure devouring brownies.. I know, tough job, huh? My 5-year-old certainly doesn’t seem to have any complaints!

It was much trial and error testing these recipes out, but I am finally confident I have them perfect for you all. These brownies don’t require any beans, avoados, or sweet potatoes to make them nice and fudgey. Beware, if you aren’t a fudgey brownie lover, these probably are not for you.
(Be sure to see the notes and my keto options below!)

Notes :

**Do not over-mix. Blend the brownie mix until smooth and not any more. Over mixing may cause the brownies to crack and split during baking.

**If you’re making the keto option, don’t be surprised if the brownies don’t look exactly the same. Different sweeteners yield different results.. however, they’re all still delicious!

**For more cake-like brownies, feel free to add 1/2 teaspoon aluminum free baking powder to your mix. This MAY cause the brownies to rise and split just a bit, but I promise you they’ll go down and even out once you remove them from the oven.

**Feel free to use all butter or all coconut oil. This may change the texture slightly. Be aware, the all coconut oil ones will taste very coconut-y… which some people love!

**If you aren’t using baking powder, you may notice your brownies sinking in a bit in the center. This is normal. They will still be delicious.
