Coffee Shop Quadruple Chocolate Espresso Brownies
My favorite indulgence used to be a rich decadent espresso brownie with a latte. These brownies are all that and more!
Serving: 25 servings
Calories: 118.95kcal
Ingredients
- 4 oz unsweetened chocolate chopped
- 3/4 cup sugar free chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup butter cut into quarters
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp fresh finely ground coffee (or espresso) or substitute instant coffee powder
- 1 serving Chocolate Keto Chow (or Mocha Keto Chow) (or 1 scoop)
- 1/2 cup finely ground blanched almond flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated allulose
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- powdered Swerve for dusting finished brownies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a 9-inch square baking pan with foil. Spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium microwave safe bowl, melt the unsweetened chocolate, 1/2 cup of sugar free chocolate chips, and butter in 30-second increments, stirring occasionally until the mixture is smooth and the chocolate is fully melted. Whisk in the cocoa and espresso grounds until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Combine the almond flour and Chocolate or Mocha Keto Chow in a bowl. Whisk to combine and break apart any large clumps. Set aside.
- Whisk together the eggs, allulose, vanilla, and salt in a medium bowl until combined, about 15 seconds. Whisk the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture; then stir in the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spread into corners, and level the surface with a rubber spatula. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a small amount of sticky crumbs clinging to it, about 32 minutes.
- Cool on a wire rack to room temperature, about 2 hours, then remove the brownies from the pan using the foil overhang. Cut into squares, dust with powdered swerve, and serve. (Do not cut brownies until ready to serve; brownies can be wrapped in plastic and refrigerated up to 5 days.) Brownies are best when warmed up before serving.
Notes
If you don't like espresso, cut it out of the recipe.
Variations:
Extra coffee brownies: Use 1 scoop of Mocha Keto Chow in place of Chocolate.
Mint brownies: Omit espresso, and use 1 scoop of Chocolate Mint Keto Chow instead of Chocolate Keto Chow, and add 1/2 tsp of mint extract.Nutrition Facts

Again, I’m going to use 16g of my daily 20 g of carbs on a teeny tiny piece of this??
Please get back to me on what the goal of these recipes are?
I am New to “Keto Chow” and I am really trying to understand it all.
I want to stay positive. Thanks.
Whether this recipe may fit in your macros depends on each person individually. If you aim for less than 20 grams of total carbs per day, then you are correct, this recipe is likely not for you. :) Many people choose to go by net carbs, however; many people aim for less than 20 net carbs per day. This recipe has 1.56 net carbs, so for someone who goes with net carbs instead of total carbs, this recipe may fit in their macros. It is all about finding what works for you personally. I hope that helps!
