Frequently Asked Questions
Can I substitute the inulin powder in the keto brownie recipe?
Yes. Oat fiber or coconut flour will work, but expect a slightly different texture. Oat fiber is the closest swap since it's also zero net carbs.
What can I use instead of low-carb protein powder?
Unflavored whey or a plant-based protein powder both work. Just check the label - you want something with minimal carbs per serving.
How should I store the leftovers of these keto brownies?
Airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the fridge for up to a week. They freeze well too - up to 3 months.
Are these brownies suitable for people with nut allergies?
Yes! These brownies are nut-free since they don't contain almond or coconut flour. Just make sure any substitutions are nut-free too.
How can I make these brownies even fudgier?
Add an extra ounce of melted chocolate or pull them from the oven 2 minutes early. They'll firm up as they cool, so a slightly underdone center is fine.
Would be nice if you give the recipe in grams; thank you
Hi Annie. Can I use vegan protein powder ?
I haven't tried that in this recipe. I would think it would work the same. If you try it, let me know so I can update this recipe post.
Can you substitute the insulin powder? I don't have that!
Unfortunately, there isn't a substitute for the inulin powder, but you can try this keto brownie recipe. It's also delicious: https://www.ketofocus.com/recipes/ricotta-keto-brownie/
Hi Annie, what is the purpose of inulin in this recipe? Does it make it fudgy?
Yes!
Can I sub egg white powder
I think you could probably just add an additional teaspoon of the protein powder. I haven't tried it yet.
What could be substituted for the protein powder-- I'm allergic
Unfortunately, the protein powder is necessary in this recipe but have you tried this brownie recipe. They are really good too. https://www.ketofocus.com/recipes/ricotta-keto-brownie/
Absolutely perfect squidgy texture. Lovely rich chocolate flavour (85% dark chocolate) just right for my diabetic mum.
Can I use egg whites From 1 egg in place of the powder?
I'm not sure that would work. Protein powder is used in keto baking to make the food fluffy.
I'm not sure that will work. :/
So fudgy! Just like the recipe I used to make using real sugar and flour.
Any chance of using heavy cream or another liquid (low carb milk or?) instead of coconut milk?⁉️
I haven't tried it but I think it would still work.
Just came across this recipe. Sounds like a winner so want to try it. Just have a question: can I use cocoa powder and a little stevia as the sweetener in place of the whole bag of chocolate chips. I find that many chocolate chips and sweetener mess with my stomach. Thank you so much for your advice on this possible substitution.
