I have been studying between 4-10 hours a day every day for weeks, with the only breaks being to go to physiotherapy/personal training, yoga, or potentially a tutorial/nature hike with the dogs.
I'm starting to go crazy.
I had three options this evening: go to yin yoga (which I 100% would have done if it wasnt in the middle of the night - aka 830pm), study for LMCCs, or bake keto-brownies.
As I'm scheduling a couple of days of fat-fasting and keto-brownies are the best invention since avocado, I opted to take a break from my normal schedule and experiment.
I've made keto-brownies only once before and burned them, but they were still awesome. I thought this time I would tinker with the recipe a little to reduce likelihood of scorching them into little fatty bricks, and this time they turned out at least 3x better!
This recipe is based almost entirely off of the AMAZING recipe from:
.... so that person gets all the credit 100%.
I just did a few tweaks to convert the brownie from skillet to bread-pan... primarily because I don't own a skillet and I like to cut rectangles.
Warning: I am not a cook/chef. I barely know how to make kraft dinner (back when I ate carbs). But anyway, here we go.
(Adjusted) Recipe for Keto-Friendly Brownies!
Servings: 6
Calories per serving: 155
Carbs: 4g (2g fiber = net carbs 2g per brownie)
Fat: 16g
Protein: 2g
Ingredients:
6 tbsp butter (I use salted because I have a real problem with salt deficiency given the vegetarian diet)
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/3 cup almond meal/flour
1/3 cup erythritol
1 egg
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
+/- 1 tsp vanilla extract (if you're cheap like me, use artificial vanilla extract)
+/- nut butter on top as icing if you have an addition to nut butters like I do (I like sunflower nut butter omfg I can't even)
Plan:
Melt butter and erythritol in a pan over low heat.
While that's happening, beat egg (giggity).
Add all other ingredients to egg EXCEPT baking powder.
Add in melted butter/erythritol and mix together until all lumps n bumps are gone.
Fold in baking powder last. Don't over mix! There's some kind of magic in baking powder and if you're aggresssive with it you'll scare it away.
Bake in a buttered bread pan at 300-325 degrees Farenheit for 35 minutes.
Take out of oven and leave it be until it cools!
Once they're cool-ish enough to cut, cut them into 6 pieces (or less ... or just get a huge spoon and eat it directly out of the dish - screw it there's no judging here) and if you want, add that nut butter on top. I suggest sunflower seed butter because I have an addiction to it.
Inhale.
