The secret to these brownies lies in the combination of almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and granulated sweetener.
I’ve also included 1 scoop (30g) of whey protein powder to boost the protein content.
For a keto-friendly option, simply reduce the amount of granulated sweetener and use a sugar-free sweetener like Swerve.
