Savor the Season with Keto Gingerbread Brownies

Who says you have to give up your favorite holiday treats just because you’re following a ketogenic lifestyle? With a little creativity and the right low-carb ingredients, you can enjoy all the festive flavors you love. These gingerbread brownies are a testament to that, boasting an incredible flavor profile with just 2 grams of net carbs per serving. Yes, you read that right – it’s not a trick, but a delicious reality!

The secret lies in thoughtfully chosen ingredients like almond flour, which provides a fantastic low-carb base, sugar-free honey for that touch of sweetness without the glycemic spike, and premium Lily’s dark chocolate baking chips to deliver a rich, decadent chocolate experience.

If your go-to Starbucks holiday beverage is the gingerbread latte, then you are absolutely going to adore these low-carb gingerbread brownies. They capture that same enchanting spice blend, wrapped up in a chewy, fudgy package.

The Magic Behind These Low-Carb Chocolate Gingerbread Treats

Upon first glance, you might wonder, “where is the chocolate in these brownies?” Unlike traditional brownie recipes that often rely on cocoa powder, this recipe takes a slightly different, yet equally delicious, approach. We achieve that deep chocolate essence by melting down Lily’s dark chocolate chips, infusing the batter with a rich, smooth chocolate flavor that perfectly complements the gingerbread spices.

Even with the melted chocolate, these delights truly embody the essence of keto gingerbread bars.

It’s the best of both worlds – the comforting warmth of gingerbread and the satisfying chew of a brownie, all in one low-carb package.

And if you’re ever in a hurry and craving an intense burst of rich chocolate flavor, don’t forget to whip up a quick keto microwave pumpkin brownie. It’s ready in about a minute and is guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth instantly!

The air fryer makes them incredibly easy to prepare, delivering a delightful crunch and a burst of cinnamon sugar goodness that’s surprisingly low-carb.

Optimal Storage for Your Gingerbread Brownie Delights

Ensuring your low-carb gingerbread brownies stay fresh and delicious for as long as possible is key to enjoying them throughout the holiday season. Proper storage not only preserves their wonderful flavor and chewy texture but also allows you to prepare them in advance, reducing stress during busy festive periods.

To store any leftover keto gingerbread brownies, place them in an airtight container. This will protect them from drying out and absorbing unwanted odors from the refrigerator. They will remain wonderfully fresh and moist in the refrigerator for up to three days. When you’re ready to enjoy one, simply reheat it in the microwave for about 30 seconds for a warm, comforting treat that tastes freshly baked.

But what if you want to extend their lifespan even further, or prepare a large batch for future enjoyment? The good news is, these brownies freeze beautifully! To freeze them, first ensure they have completely cooled to room temperature. Then, wrap each individual baked and chilled brownie tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This individual wrapping prevents freezer burn and makes it easy to grab just one brownie at a time. Once wrapped, place the individually portioned brownies into a freezer-safe food storage bag or an airtight container. Stored this way, they will stay fresh and delicious in the freezer for up to an impressive six months, ready to be thawed and enjoyed whenever a gingerbread craving strikes!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups Almond Flour
  • 1 cup Swerve Confectioner’s Sugar Substitute
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
  • 2 large Eggs

Directions

Low-Carb Gingerbread Brownies - melting chocolate and butter

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the softened butter and Lily’s dark chocolate baking chips. Heat the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth.
  3. Low-Carb Gingerbread Brownies - mixing ingredients

  4. Into a large mixing bowl, add the almond flour, 1 cup of Swerve Confectioner’s Sugar Substitute, cinnamon, ground ginger, nutmeg, large eggs, sugar-free honey, and the melted butter and chocolate mixture. Blend all ingredients together using an electric mixer or whisk until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  5. Low Carb Gingerbread Brownies - batter in baking dish

  6. Line a 9×9 inch baking dish with aluminum foil, ensuring that the foil extends over the edges of the pan to create convenient handles. Lightly spray the foil with baking spray to prevent the brownies from sticking.
  7. Evenly spread the prepared brownie batter into the lined baking dish.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs, indicating that they are cooked through but still delightfully fudgy. Be careful not to overbake, as this can make them dry.
  9. Low-Carb Gingerbread Brownies - finished and sliced

  10. Allow the brownies to cool completely to room temperature in the baking dish before slicing. This crucial step helps them set properly and develop their signature chewy texture.
  11. Once cooled, use the foil handles to lift the entire slab of brownies from the pan. Dust generously with the remaining 1 tablespoon of Swerve Confectioner’s Sugar Substitute before slicing into 9 squares and serving.
