Keto Brookie Bars

Whenever I cannot decide between making a batch of cookies or a pan of brownies, I usually make both in one pan.

These keto brookie bars give you a rich chocolate brownie base topped with a soft chocolate chip cookie layer.

It is completely low carb and keto friendly, so you can enjoy a real bakery style treat without worrying about sugar spikes.

Sticking to a low carb lifestyle is much easier when you have desserts that actually satisfy your sweet tooth like traditional baked goods.

They are simple to put together, and your whole family will love them even if they do not follow a keto diet.

How To Make

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350F and line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper. Melt 1/2 cup butter and the chopped chocolate together in the microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring until smooth.

Step 2

Whisk the allulose into the melted chocolate, then whisk in 2 eggs and 1 tsp vanilla for a full minute until glossy. Stir in 1/2 cup almond flour, cocoa powder and 1/4 tsp salt until smooth. Spread the brownie batter evenly into the pan.

—————-

Step 3

For the cookie layer, beat the softened butter with the golden monk fruit sweetener until creamy, then beat in 1 egg and 1 tsp vanilla.

—————-

Step 4

Stir in 1 cup almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt until a soft dough forms, then fold in the chocolate chips.

—————-

Step 5

Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough over the brownie batter and gently press them down so the cookie layer covers most of the surface, leaving a few brownie patches peeking through.

—————-

Step 6

Bake for 28 to 32 minutes, until the cookie top is golden and the center is set. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt as soon as it comes out of the oven.

Step 7

Cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for 30 minutes for the cleanest slices. Lift out and cut into 16 bars.

Tips

Whisk the Eggs Well for a Glossy Top

When you add the eggs and allulose to the melted chocolate, whisk them vigorously for a full sixty seconds.

From my experience, this step dissolves the sweetener and helps create that thin, shiny crust on the brownie parts that peek through.

If you just stir it quickly without whisking, the top will turn out dull and matte instead of glossy.

Let the Melted Chocolate Cool a Bit

After melting the butter and dark chocolate together, let the bowl sit on the counter for about five minutes before whisking in the eggs.

You’ll get the best results if the chocolate is just warm to the touch rather than piping hot.

If the mixture is too hot, it can start cooking the eggs on contact, leaving tiny cooked egg bits in your brownie base.

Flatten the Cookie Dough Portions

My favorite trick here is to flatten each spoonful of cookie dough into a small disk in your hands before placing it over the brownie batter.

If you leave the cookie dough in tall, round mounds, the tops will get dark before the thick brownie center has time to bake through.

Flattening the dough slightly ensures both layers bake evenly at the exact same pace.

FAQ

Can I use erythritol instead of allulose in the brownie layer?

You can use erythritol, but allulose gives the brownie layer its distinct fudgy and chewy texture.

Erythritol tends to crystallize after cooling, which can make the brownies feel a bit dry or firm instead of soft.
