Brownies are 1 of my favorite desserts. But being on keto I can't curb my chocolate cravings by eating regular sugar. So I opt instead for these Keto Cheesecake brownies,
This low-carb brownie recipe is the best option for rich brownies, that are delicious and help me stay on track with my low-carb keto diet.
Fudgy Keto Brownies
One of the best things about these low carb cheesecake brownies is that it's a brownie base, with a tick cheesecake swirl. It really is a delicious recipe.
Living on the keto lifestyle, it's sometimes hard to find foods, and simple desserts that are not only tasty but are appropriate for a low carb keto diet.
Keto Cheesecake Brownies
Since I started my low carb journey I have found that I have more energy, and rarely cheat. When I have my keto cheesecake brownies they help give me a sweet treat that my body loves, it makes it easier to stay on track. And I have no desire to eat the whole thing like before.
The beauty of this recipe is you use basic pantry ingredients. Now if you are new to the keto diet, you might have to pick up some almond flour but everything else is pretty much staples in our home.
Minimal ingredients and steps are needed to achieve perfectly sweet keto cream cheese brownies in the end. The cheesecake layer is swirled to perfection.
Just mix up your brownie batter, then in another bowl whip up your cheesecake batter. Pour the brownie batter into a greased pan and then drop your cheesecake mixture on top.
Grab a knife and swirl the cheesecake mixture so it mixes somewhat with the brownie mixture. Toss in the oven and wait for that timer to go off!
Why I Use Almond Flour For My Keto Cheesecake Brownies
I love the flavor of almond flour brownies over say other flours that are approved in the keto diet.
In my opinion almond flour gives you a similar taste and texture to all-purpose flour.
You really want to feel like you are getting that same brownie you would whip up out of a box or make homemade, and almond flour is my preference.
I hope you all enjoy this indulging in this chocolate brownie keto dessert recipe. It's only 4 net carbs!
