For health reasons I wanted to make low sugar brownies using erythitol. I played with ingredients and the recipe turned out great. I used Lily's stevia chocolate chips on top. (I;m eating them out of the bag as I write this…. YUM!) I used walnuts but my next batch I'm using hazelnuts.

Brownies with walnuts - low sugar

1/2 cup erythritol (I used Swerve)

1/8 cup (2 Tablespoons) coconut sugar

1/4 cup almond flour / meal

1/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa

1/4 cup water

1/2 teaspoon instant coffee - optional

1/4 cup light olive oil or other oil

2 eggs

1 cup walnuts chopped

3 Tablespoons Lily's stevia chocolate chips - optional for top

Heat oven to 350º. Mix dry ingredients. Add water, eggs and oil. Mix well. Add walnuts or hazelnuts. Spread in 8 X 8 inch pan. Top with chocolate chips. Place in oven on center rack. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes. Brownies are done when a toothpick comes out clean.
