    Who doesn’t love brownies?! They may just be our favorite dessert here at CIK. Now, we believe that the perfect brownie has crispy edges and a super gooey center. Who agrees?

    These Keto Chocolate Fudge Mint Chip Brownies fit that bill nicely with added chocolate chips and peppermint. We’re also topping them off with a quick and easy peppermint buttercream that’s so delicious you’ll want to eat it with a spoon. [side note: we were grocery shopping recently and saw that there are now single-serving frosting packets, for snacking...where’s the keto version of these please?!]

    We're using Pacific's Unsweetened Hemp Beverage in these brownies which adds such a nice creamy and nutty flavor. It’s also great for getting the perfect texture for peppermint buttercream. Even better? Pour up a cold tall glass to have on the side with a brownie, now THAT’S a treat!

    This is the perfect keto brownie recipe for holiday parties and will impress even the gluten and dairy-loving crowd. While we do list butter in the ingredient list you can also use a vegan butter substitute or coconut oil for a dairy-free version.

    We went a little festive with these adding a bit of crushed sugar-free candy canes to the top, they’re totally not necessary but we love the pop of color. You could also use some cacao nibs for a bit of crunch!

    FAQ's

    Can I make this recipe vegan?

    Yes! You can use a vegan egg replacer or a chia or flax egg to replace the eggs. Our vote is for a mix of chia and flax eggs for the best texture. For dairy-free just swap out the butter for a vegan replacement like coconut oil in the brownie and sub in a clean palm shortening for the icing.

    Can I use a regular pan?

    Yes! An 8x8 brownie pan will work perfectly here.

    Nutritional information:

    As always, you can find the full nutritional breakdown including the carb count (total carbs and net carbs) at the bottom of the recipe card. You can find the serving size/yield at the top of the recipe card. You should always double-check your specific ingredients as different brands' ingredients may have different values.

    To get a specific serving size you'll want to weigh the final dish then divide by the number of servings. We can't provide this information as your cooking style will vary from ours as well as the brand ingredients you choose to use.

      Have you tried this with another dairy free milk option? Hemp milk is a bit "earthy" for me... thinking of trying it with cashew or macadamia milk.

        Any milk or cream will work just fine, dairy or not!

      What are the instructions for the frosting? All I see are the ingredients.

      I think the secret here is Black Cocoa powder (amazon) i used 1/8 cup of it then regular cocoa powder for the rest. Black cocoa powder (used in small amounts) really kicks up the flavor

      Good brownie recipe. I thought the frosting recipe a little weak in both flavor and amount. I would definitely add more peppermint.
