These guilt-free, delectable and sugar-free brownies are impossible to say “no” to.
Ingredients
- 12 oz. unsweetened baking chocolate, chopped
- 2 tbsp. unsweetened peppermint tea or water
- ⅔ cup whole-wheat pastry flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 1 ½ cups Purecane™ No Calorie Baking Sweetener
- 12 oz. unsalted butter (3 sticks, room temperature)
- 8 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 ½ tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ tbsp. Purecane™ Confectioners Sweetener (Optional)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch by 13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Gently melt the chocolate with the tea (or water) in a double boiler (or medium mixing bowl placed over a pan of hot water) until smooth.
- Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the Purecane™ Baking Sweetener and butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Add the eggs and vanilla, and blend on high speed until smooth.
- Blend or vigorously stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until fully combined. Add the cocoa powder mixture, and blend or vigorously stir until well combined.
- Evenly spread the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake until springy to the touch about 1 inch from the edges, about 32 minutes.
- Cool in the pan on a rack. When completely cool, cut into square-shaped brownies.
- Dust with the Purecane™ Confectioners Sweetener using a fine mesh strainer. (optional)
- Serve and enjoy!
