Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these delightful brownies:

• 1/3 cup allulose
• 1/3 cup Swerve Granular
• 3 tbsp butter, cut into 3 pieces
• 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 10 tbsp butter, melted
• 2/3 cup Swerve Granular
• 4 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2/3 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup warm coffee or water, if needed
• 1/3 cup chopped, toasted pecans

Feel free to substitute any sweeteners you prefer if you’re looking for alternative options!

Directions

1. Caramel Sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the allulose and Swerve. Cook until the sweeteners have melted. Allow the mixture to come to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until caramelized and amber in color, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter and cream. Mix in the vanilla and salt. Let it cool.

2. Brownies: Lightly grease the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sweeteners, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add in the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt; whisk until well combined. Gradually stir in the coffee or water, one tablespoon at a time, until you achieve a thick but pourable batter.

3. Pour the batter into the slow cooker, sprinkle with the chopped pecans, and drizzle about two-thirds of the caramel sauce on top. Cover with a paper towel and set the lid on the slow cooker. Cook on low for 2 to 3 hours.

4. Serve the brownies warm, topped with the remaining caramel sauce drizzled on top. Enjoy!

Best Ways to Enjoy It

These keto turtle brownies can be served in a myriad of ways! For a perfect presentation, plate them warm and drizzle the remainder of the caramel sauce over the top. A scoop of sugar-free vanilla ice cream makes for an indulgent pairing. Alternatively, serve them alongside a cup of freshly brewed coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon treat.

Storage and Reheating Tips

To keep your brownies fresh, store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. You can also refrigerate them to prolong their freshness. When you want to enjoy one again, simply reheat it gently in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, or until warmed through. It’s a great way to enjoy a bit of dessert without much fuss.

Helpful Cooking Tips

Here are a few tips to ensure your brownies turn out perfectly every time:

• Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature, especially the eggs, as this helps with the mixing process.
• If the batter seems too thick, you can add a bit more coffee or water to reach the desired consistency.
• Don’t skip the paper towel under the lid; it prevents condensation from falling onto the brownies and turning them soggy.

Creative Twists

Give your brownies a unique twist by adding different nuts, such as walnuts or macadamia nuts. You could even mix in sugar-free chocolate chips for extra chocolatey goodness. For a festive touch, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt or a hint of orange zest to the caramel sauce.
